Unit 1
THE ORIGINS OF CAVE PAINTINGS
At the dawn of civilization there were no words, no alphabet, no books. Yet, early cave men found a way to communicate their hopes, their dreams and their victories. They told stories using art.
The very first cave paintings were discovered in 1896 in the Altamira Cave in Spain. These paintings dated back to 14,000 BC and showed a bison over 8 m long! This particular painting is called the Bisons of the Altamira Cave.
Later, archeologists discovered the paintings in the Hall of Bulls Cave in France. What was so interesting about this find was that it showed so many different kinds of animals. Each group of animals likely represents a hunt that was performed at a different time. It would seem as though they used this cave over and over again for artwork, with many different artists taking turns.
What is even more interesting is that a very long time ago, when cave men were alive, only a few very special people were allowed to create art. They were called Shaman or hunter-magicians. Early cave men believed that if they drew an animal on a wall, they would capture its spirit and the Shaman would be able to control the success of the hunt.
Of all the cave paintings that were found, the most remarkable is the one from the Pech-Merle Cave in Lot, France from 14,000 BC. In this particular painting, you see a spotted horse with a negative hand imprint next to it. Since early cave men did not have words or an alphabet or language, this is probably their very first expression of identity or how they wrote their signature next to their artwork. Some believe that these first handprints may have inspired the development of written language at a later date.
When early cave men artists or Shaman first created art, there was no such thing as paint or brushes or canvas. They had to work with what they could find. They used the cave walls instead of paper or canvas, twigs or leaves as brushes and different types of dirt and berries for paint.
