Early Art

The earliest human art has been inspiring some art from my kids:

Besides gorgeous art books full of big pictures, we also have enjoyed:



and a Virtual Tour of Lascaux I found.

We did a lesson about cave paintings at church, for the exploration of earth-based faiths one class is doing, and for that lesson I had the kids paint inside cardboard boxes by flashlight - that was a huge hit. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me that day.

  1. I love the drawings--I think those are Carbon's in the picture.

    Funny, we are planning to watch Cave of Forgotten Dreams this week, too! Looking forward to it.

    I like the cardboard box idea, too!

    Did you hear about the newest discovery?
