1B Art cave paintings

Lesson: Art and design

We looked at some art from thousands of years ago that had been created on the walls of ancient caves. We created a gallery of artwork and looked closely at the pictures. We talked about what we liked about them and why. We discussed how the lines in the paintings had been created using different tools and media. We took our inspiration from the hand print cave painting. Under the watchful exprert eye of Ms Plant, we recreated this style of art ourselves. We used a hand template and drew over lines to create the hand shape. We used black and white chalk, then chose our own colour combinations out of oil pastels. Have a look at our creations!
