2nd graders went back in time and learned all about one of the earliest forms of art: Cave Art! We discussed how art can be used to communicate stories about the past, or tells about the people who created it. After taking a look at some cave art we noticed all of the similarities in cave art such as the use of natural colors, and animals. The class even got a virtual tour of the cave of Lascaux to look at some real cave art!
Virtual Cave Tour
2nd graders made their own cave art by thinking of imagery that could communicate a message about the people of the present. Some created images of their own pets, while others included a hidden message using pictures and symbols. We used some animal stencils, oil pastels, and even experimented with some charcoal to make our own cave art come to life. The class loved crumpling up the paper to create a texture that you might find inside caves. At the end of the lesson the class got to walk through their very own 2nd grade cave (also known as my art supply closet)!
