Stone Age artists


Class 3’s art topic this term has been cave paintings. We began by exploring cave painting and their importance for archaeologists. We looked at examples of cave paintings and identified the topics they showed and used these as a guide for our own sketches. We then moved on to using oil pastels and charcoal on sandpaper to experience drawing o rough surfaces. We also created stencils and created our own version of La Cueva de las Manos. Following this, we explored making different shades of brown and painted on uneven 3D surfaces using this. Finally, we created our own cave in the hall and created joint masterpieces!

Here are some examples of our learning journey.
