As a female during the Paleolithic era, I envision that my day would have been consumed with gathering food and tending to children. While I was gathering food near the watering hole, I see a magnificent Wooly Rhino. He seems to wander almost aimlessly near the edge of the water, paying no attention to the small herd of Ibex located nearby (Werner, 2011). Suddenly, another glorious Wooly Rhino appears. They appear to be engaged in a great duel to determine supremacy.
When I return to my dwelling, I feel I must “make visible” this experience for all to see. I want others to be aware of the type of animals that live in this area; therefore inspiring them to hunt (Werner, 2011). During my search for a suitable wall, I discover the perfect limestone …show more content…
Once the wall is a near pristine white, I try to recall the Wooly Rhino’s body. Sharp flint works well for engraving the shapes into the soft limestone. I begin to outline the two large ovals representing the bodies. While not perfectly proportionate, the overly rotund bodies will convey the massive beasts perfectly. Respectively, both Rhinos receive their head. Somewhat elongated with very large nostrils near the very end of the snout. The massive horns cross as to indicate the duel. Another smaller horn sits just behind the large one on each …show more content…
I reach for a piece of charcoal that I found on the floor of the cave (Davies, Denny, Hofrichter, Jacobs, Roberts, and Simon 5). I meticulously begin to fill the carved lines with the black powder. Once the outline is complete, coloring begins. During one of my visits to the watering hole, I found a piece of ore called Ocher; hence, creating create a shade of brown (Davies, Denny, Hofrichter, Jacobs, Roberts, and Simon 5). I will use this until the entirety of both beasts are colored. Small areas of the legs in the background are not colored to help further create the image of them being on the opposite side of my view. I once again use the charcoal to add shadow to the underside of the giant bellies enhancing their size and providing depth to the
