What can prehistoric art reveal about the lives, beliefs, and creativity of early humans? In this lesson, students investigate three ancient cave paintings from France, Argentina, and Africa to compare artistic techniques, materials, and purposes across time and cultures. By analyzing primary source visuals and constructing written responses, students build key historical thinking skills while uncovering the origins of symbolic communication.
