Have you guys ever think about the first artist....?
About 30,000 years ago, Man first began to paint on the walls and roofs of caves and on rocks. The most common themes in cave paintings are large wild animals, such as bison, horses and deer. Stone Age carvings have also been found as far north as Scandinavia. The main form o prehistoric art is 'rock art'. This includes petroglyphs, otherwise known as rock carvings. An example is the Blombos cave engravings. A second form are pictographs, which includes drawn or painted signs, geometric symbols, hand stencils, and hand prints, see for instance the tragic Gargas Cave Hand Stencils. Rock art can be seen in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australasia, Oceania and the Americas.
