Today's lesson objective is:
The student will create chalk drawings and animal studies in the style of cave drawings.
As we’ve already covered, the Cosquer Cave is located in the Calanque de Morgiou in Marseille, France. Its newer art consists of signs and 177 animals, representing both "classical" animals such as bison, ibex, and horses, and marine animals such as seals and what appear to be auks and jellyfish.
But the older art consists of 65 hand stencils and other related motifs.
While the focus is certainly on the handprints on Cosquer’s cave walls, you can also tell a story by creating a Paleolithic cave person drawing using a few common supplies.
The materials used in the cave paintings were natural pigments, created by mixing ground-up
