Prehistoric Art

In Art we have been looking at Prehistoric cave drawings. For our final piece in this unit, we tried to keep the materials we used as natural as possible as we know that materials such as paint and colouring pencils were not available for Stone Age people! We collected mud to create our background, then used charcoal to draw the outline of our birds. Other items we found outside, such as flowers and berries, were used to add colour to our pictures. Some of us also used homemade paint, made up of water, flour and turmeric or paprika to add depth to our pictures.
