Little Hands Art Group-Cave Art

This month we learned about Cave art. Prior to people writing on paper they first wrote using picture drawings in caves. It was a way to communicate and also they believed it could protect them. They would put the art on the walls to form a sort of sanctuary.

We also talked about God giving the 10 commandments to Moses on Stone Tablets.

We read a chapter out of a book called "Days of the Cave People". The chapter discussed the tools and materials they would gather together.

These are similar to the pictures I passed around. I actually swiped these from my friend Lisa's Blog.

   

I assembled a cave from tables and taped on brown paper so the children could feel like they were in a cave. They were given nature colored crayons (reds, browns, sepias, blacks, and greys) and were told to pick a part of the wall to draw something on.

We played a couple games. One was duck duck goose, but we used Cave, Cave, Art.
And then we played Caveman says. (A clever improvise by one of the moms.)
After the drawings were complete we cut out each child's art work and let them take it home for their portfolios.
