About PREHISTORIC PAINTINGS (Year 3).

  The prehistory  is the period between the use of the 1st stone tools by hominids and the invention of writing. It starts approximately 3 million years ago to the year 3,000 BC (before Christ). It´s divided into STONE AGE  and METAL  AGE. In  THE STONE AGE we have 3 periods: Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic.

It´s in the STONE AGE, when the CAVE PAINTINGS started. You can watch a video about this:

We draw CAVE PAINTINGS (Year 3).

You are going to watch some different ways of drawing prehistoric paintings. You can crumple a sheet of paper, into a ball. Next you paint it it with coffee (or water colours). When the paper is dried you can draw a prehistoric animal (bison, mammoth, horse...) with a black charcoal (or crayon); next, you colour the inside with pastel colours, smoothing  it with your fingers... Watch for more ideas...
