Cave Paintings

Cave Paintings The first art created by humans appeared about 35,000 years ago. Early art included paintings on cave walls, etchings, and statues carved from stone and bone

The earliest images are hidden deep inside caves. They were probably religious or spiritual in nature, but we don’t know for sure since there are no written records from this time.

Cave paintings were done with pigments made from charcoal or ochre—a clay found in many shades of red and yellow—mixed with animal fat.

The paint could be brushed onto the wall with simple fiber brushes or blown through tubes. Engravings were done with bone-carving chisels

Many of the paintings were of animals, or human hands outlined with blown paint. They may have drawn the animals as a way of paying tribute to them.
