and most ancient works of art discovered from different archeological site, which were later transferred to various museums. As we delve deeper into the chapters, we discover how art forms evolve across different time lines – from the art of the Paleolithic period to the arts of the near-East and Egypt. The works of art across the different timelines also indicate the kind of culture people have, because such culture can be seen in how they present their arts. Therefore, there is a clear development

Most people think of the phones in their hand or pocket when they think of technology, but the first roots of technology started all the way back in the Paleolithic Era. This era brought us the first set of stone tools and the famous cave paintings that have helped us learn about the past. Following the Paleolithic Era, we had the Mesolithic and Neolithic Eras which both brought us more advanced stone tools and the start of copper tools. After the Meso/Neolithic Eras, we had the Bronze Era which

why cave art is found so deep into the cave, beyond the areas of human habitation, in areas of total darkness. Pick one theory and support it with facts and your own opinions/conclusions on why the art appears where the art appears. During the Paleolithic Period, as stated by many historians and museums, many forms of arts were discovered deeply into the caves. As some may wonder, what was the reason will they be found in caves and not in other places? According to the Experience Humanities by Roy

Paleolithic Venuses 1.) Discuss the meaning of the Paleolithic Venuses. Identify Rice's position and explain it. Discuss four other interpretations of these figurines mentioned in class or in the reading. Do any or all of these interpretations support the views of the 19th century evolutionist Johann Jakob Bachofen? Paleolithic Venuses are prehistoric sculptures that are traditionally thought, by experts to be images that adore and glorify female fertility. There are three reasons why most

The Neanderthals lived in groups of 30 to 50 individuals, they invented many of the tool types that were to be perfected by fully sapient peoples, they had weapons adequate to deal with both the cave lion and cave bear, they used body paint, buried their dead. Neanderthal Man survived through the Ice Age. They are thought to have had fire. Neanderthals lived

The Venus Willendorf and Laussel During the Upper Paleolithic era artists created a wide range of small sculptures. These sculptures were made from various materials, including ivory, bone, clay, and even stone. They represented humans, as well as animals; they even combined them at times. Most of the sculptures from this time show a high level of skill. From this time, there were two very influential sculptures, The Venus of Willendorf and the Venus of Laussel. This paper will discuss both

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.
