I agree that the prehistoric art was used to tell stories and inform people of the things they had in the past. The images captured in the caves where done with some of the techniques some artist still use now a days. From the brush strokes to the clay sculpting it all shows some type of familiarity that we’ve seen in many different forms of art.
Miranda,
I didn’t think of the sculptures to be used as a way for people in the prehistoric era to identify themselves. That is interesting to think that the statues could have been used to even symbolize a tribe. It is fascinating how much meaning a piece of art can hold.
The prehistoric pictures seem to be representing what the artist saw around them most of the time. Besides the lion-man. Animals were a big part of everyday life and documenting them through art seemed to be a big thing to be drawn or painted in the prehistoric period. Since majority of the details given on the pictures when clicked on talked about how there were children present, that makes you think that maybe the artist was creating this art for them. Now the sculptures of the women could have been have been a representation of a woman’s body after birth, or just their figures in general, however, that is what I took from observing the sculptures.
Hey Jess!

1. What is Art?
Simple definition of Art is a way for people to express themselves through creative outlets. Whether it be through music, panting, sculpting or even dancing. This is something I completely agree with because art is an amazing way to express yourself when words fail you. I didn’t really find a definition that I disagreed with for what is art. They were all pretty spot on with what I think art is.2. What is Art History?
Art history is as the definition states, the study of history and development of painting and other visual arts. We study it because it allows us to discover and understand past techniques and the different forms or art they used as compared to the present. Studying the art of history helps us to understand what happened in the past because people where able to document important times in history through their art. Whether it be mistakes a past president made or war they were able to help us in the future learn about the past through the stories in their art.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jgLGj-dK8pBes3Odiprp1B-tBZ8moGS8/view?usp=sharing
