Charcoal Cave Drawings Inspired By Lascaux Cave Art
The learning objectives for this lesson are to explore the Lascaux cave paintings and understand how early humans used animals and symbols to communicate ideas and experiences. Learners will create a textured cave-like surface using wet painting techniques and plastic wrap. They will develop and represent a simple visual story using animals and/or invented symbols with charcoal and pastel.
