🎨 Stone Age Art - Social Studies 🎨

Stone Age Art

In social studies, we have been learning about the stone age, specifically the paleolithic and neolithic period. The paleolithic era started 2.6 million years ago to about 10,000 BCE. However, the Neolithic period started in 10,000 BCE and ended in 2,000 BCE. The class learnt about how and what they used to make weapons, the food they ate and the art. 

10Hh had an opportunity to draw and paint on the walls of the classroom some stone age art. We first had to plan what we were going to draw, this included symbols and sketches. These are some pictures of 10Hh's and 10 Bu's work:

People in that era didn't have paintbrushes so they used their hands, sticks and twigs. A majority of stone age art is found inside caves across the world, this includes Europe, Africa, South East Asia and Australia. Colors were made from dirt, charcoal, crushed berries and fruit. Red and black pigments were made from rock. They used art to tell stories and communicate, some would have a hidden meanings. 

This is my planning:
