Cave
Painting Activity
Most
of us take reading and writing for granted, but how did people
communicate their thoughts and ideas and record stories before writing
as we know it today was invented?

people in the Stone Age
used art to tell stories and record their ideas. You will
- view
some websites that show examples of cave art in Europe
- find out which animals were painted on cave walls and
what they looked like
- draw your own cave paintings of animals on the wall
of a virtual cave
