The Grotte Chauvet-Pont D Arc

The eBook that I read had a vibrant yellow/orange cover. I think this color alone traces back to the Golden Frogs around El Valle that started to disappear. There is also an imagine of what looks like Mammoth bones. This relates to Cuvier’s discussion in the book of the extinction of Mammoths (or Mastodons). Many thought the animal remains were from two or three different animals. He argued, however, that the remains are from an entirely new species that is now

The last article talks about the 59th Unnamed Cave, in Florida. This cave is located in the eastern part of the Florida Panhandle. From the dates of the artifacts and the dates of the glyph, the site was occupied in the Late Woodland period. The cave was discover in 2007 when a group of cave explorer saw fine engravings on the wall. This site was the first cave art site that was found in Florida and it is the second rock art site that was found in the states. Rock art is very rare in Florida, but now with the site found there is a wider perspective on the importance of rock art. The site did not only include the petroglyph drawing of the past, but it included some artifacts that was use to help date the time that the cave was occupied.

In class and watching this movie we find out that Chauvet Cave was discovered in December of 1994 when Christian Hillaire, Eliette Brunel-Deschamps and Jean-Marie accidently found it, because they had felt a draft. In the introduction to the movie we find out that the cave sits next to this beautiful river named Pont d’Arc. We later find out that it might be this river that feeds into the cave that brings some bones into it, such as golden eagle bones. I also find out that the entrance that these hikers had found was actually not the true entrance. We find out that the actual entrance was covered when the cave had collapsed in earlier times. I was really surprised that they were able to find the actual entrance. I thought since the cave had collapsed that it would have damaged or destroyed the original entrance.

Lascaux Cave, known in France as the Grotte de Lascaux, is a cave in France which houses prehistoric works of art. Lascaux Cave is broken off into sections which include the Axial Gallery, the famous Hall of the Bulls, the Chamber of Felines, the Nave,

On a small peninsula, 70 miles southwest of New Orleans, there is a single stretch of road that leads into a fascinating place called Isle de Jean Charles. This is a place where living off the land is a way of life that is quickly becoming impossible to accomplish. The wetlands that used to provide nourishment for the plants and wildlife have now been replaced with the water from the Gulf and neither the freshwater marshes nor the vegetation were able to sustain this intrusion. Where there used to be a forest full of animals for trapping and hunting, there is salty water rippled only by poisoned carcasses of massive oak trees that still stand. The people living on the island are desperate and the Army Corps of Engineers has the power to help. The residents of Isle de Jean Charles deserve to see their children and grandchildren grow up on the land that they call home, but at what cost?

In my I chose to compare two cave paintings from the paleolithic period, The first cave in called Lascaux, and the second cave called Altamira. As we know that the Paleolithic time period is from 30,000 BC to 10,000 BC. The most common theme in cave painting during that time period was like a bunch of a large animals such as bison, horses, cows, deers, lions, birds, and aurochs. In those two pieces of cave painting I found alots of common stuff like the animals and the story of the painting as well but their are some differences like the purpose of the paintings, so in the first cave painting which is the Lascaux Their was a story behind this painting which is telling us about the wars during that time period; in the second cave painting which

The Chauvet Cave, which is located in the southern part of modern day France, is full of Palaeolithic (Paleolithic) paintings created about thirty to thirty-three thousand years ago. The last Ice Age period was estimated to be around one-hundred-and-ten to twelve-thousand years ago, and places this within it. However, it was only discovered about twenty-two years ago in 1994 by a group of “cavers” led by the man himself, Jean-Marie Chauvet. Today, the cave is compelling to many observers as it is described to be loaded with “skillfully executed” charcoal and carved creations including animals such as horses/stallions, deer-like figures, lions, hyenas, owls, panthers, and rhinos.

For certain periods in history, the only means of record available is in the objects the society of that time left behind. In the Central Middle Ages, material objects were not used so much for record, as documentation had already became required for governing and ecclesiastical institutions, but rather as teachers for the majority population that could not read. Material objects also taught those who could read, serving as grandiose reminders that instilled its lessons on the viewer through biblical scenes, and representation of important figures and characteristics of land. This is true of the doorway from Moutiers-Saint-Jean, a monastery in Burgundy, France whose monks were literate, but would have looked at the doorway as a confirmation of their livelihood, reinstating their faith.

Bird-Headed Man w/ Bison is a Paleolithic mural at Lascaux, France. Paleolithic people painted it by pigments about 15,000 -13,000 BC, and they developed a technique called twisted perspective to give a clearer identification of various animals. In this painting, the enormous bison at right is facing left with its body and head in a profile perspective, while its horns are frontal, and its eyes are looking at the viewers directly. The rhinoceros to the left has dots under its tail. Between two animals, a bird-headed man with outstretched arms is lying on the ground. It is easy to identify his gender by the penis. In front of him, his baton of power with a bird on top is broken. This mural depicts a hunting scene that it ends with the man is

The stone painting Apollo 11 is a art piece that dates back to 25,500-23,500 BCE during the Stone Age. Using what we learned from the starter kit, style and medium we can analyze how and why the art piece might have been created. You can infer that the medium was a painting. Using period style I believe the art piece may have been created to depict a certain type of animal. This painting might have been created for teaching hunters the specific animal they might or should be hunting or perhaps a animal they should avoid. The animal drawn might also represent a role in rituals or in legends told. The painting might have been created using a mix of charcoal and salvia and human fingers in order to paint the image on the stone.

The Arc de Triomphe, which is also known as the Arc de Triomphe de l'étoile, is a huge, triumphant arch in Paris, France. This monument is one of the world's best-known memorial landmarks. It remains at the focal point of the Place Charles de Gaulle, which was earlier called the Place de l'étoile. After Napoleon’s incredible win at the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805, he commanded the Arc de Triomphe be built in order to praise the accomplishments of the French military. The arch, planned by Jean-François-Thérèse Chalgrin, is 164 feet high and 148 feet wide. It sits in a round square, where 12 roads transmit, making a star.

men or "cavemen." The artists of the Chauvet Caves understood the concepts of art like shading, contouring, and depicting motion while understanding that their art can tell a story , like any artist today. We can see what animals were living during that time period of the drawings and see where the artists' inspirations were coming from. Towards the end of the film, Wegner brought up the topic of spirituality. With drawings, several Venus statutes, and a bear skull sitting specifically on the center of a stalagmite , we learn that spiritualism has always

In a time when France and the regardless us appreciated great relations, the air turned out to be so thick with American craftsmen that they held general baseball matches against their comrades situated in Concarneau. Properly detecting that Pont-Aven was losing its "sauvage" edge, Gauguin deserted to the close-by shoreline town of Le Pouldu. Detached by the stream Laita and enormous hills, it gave the primitive existence of which Gauguin had imagined. He stayed at Marie Henry's Inn, "La Buvette de la Plage", encompassed by painters, for example, Sérusier, Emile Bernard, Filiger and

The first evidence of cave art appeared in Western Europe (Berenguer 67). Early cave paintings were characteristic of Western art. They were supported by an acute vision,

Wall Paintings: These mainly still depicted hunting, but began to change as the culture presumably changed.
