In history we are learning about the Stone Age. We explored a range of photographs of Stone Age cave paintings and discussed the things that we could see and what they told us about people living in the Stone Age.
We learned that during the Stone Age, people would make paint using coloured rock, ground into a powder and then mixed to a paste using spit, water or animal fat. This was then used to paint onto the cave walls. Stone Age artists used their fingers as well as twigs, moss and horsehair brushes to dab paint on the cave walls.
Wu used chalk and pastel to make our own Stone Age artwork of animals that were alive in the Stone Age.
