This document provides an overview of early paintings from prehistoric times through ancient Egypt. It discusses some of the earliest known paintings found in cave paintings dating back 15,000-10,000 BC depicting large animals. These early paintings were used to communicate and may have had religious or ceremonial purposes. The document also highlights several examples of prehistoric portable art objects found across Europe and Asia dating back as far as 500,000 years ago, including engraved shells, figurines like the Venus of Willendorf, and cave paintings found in France.

1. The Paleolithic era marks the beginning of artistic representation. Early humans carved and modeled stone and clay relief sculpture, and made mural paintings deep within their cave shelters. Paleolithic artists also created portable full-round sculptures from bone and stone
Paleolithic images address the themes that affected human survival, such as fertility and animal populations. Faceless female figures, for example, display exaggerated breasts and genitals to emphasize their fecundity. The few Paleolithic male figures have animal heads, but their meaning has yet to be determined. Positive and negative handprints and other abstract signs also testify to the human presence. Most Paleolithic art, however, represents animals, although the exact meaning of these creatures is unknown.
Painted Paleolithic humans and animals are represented primarily in profile, but the artists’ approach is descriptive rather than strictly optical. In addition to revealing the artists’ familiarity with and observation of the animals, the images show all of the essential visual information required to identify the creatures. For example, most painters employed twisted perspective to join a profile head and frontal horns. The paintings exhibit no attempt to compose animals into groups or narratives, or to show them in a shared space or from a single viewpoint.
2 .The ancient near East consisted of five notable civilizations: the Sumerians, the Akkadians, the Babylonians, the Hittites, and the Persians. It's a well known fact that this, for lack of a better term, is where everything basically began. Writing, cities, organized religion and government, law, and even the wheel just to name a few of the Near East's achievements. It's difficult to argue the fact that this ancient civilization gave the world, and humanity, more then any other
Innovations to sculpture also arose greatly. Comparing prehistoric life and Near Eastern life again, humans were not the central focus in prehistoric art. But more often then not, humans were depicted in Near Eastern art. Remembering Venus of Willendorf, prehistoric art exposed the human body with exaggerated sexual organs and no shame in nudity. Near Eastern sculptures were more likely to portray clothed humans with great anatomical precision. On top of that, prehistoric people were travelers, nomadic groups unable to carry heavy, over sized objects with them. But as the people of the Near East civilized and settled into land, the larger and grander the sculpture, the greater the sign of permanence
Near Eastern art began a new tradition with painting as well. Representation of animals with human like body parts and emotions began emerging everywhere. The Sumerians began the tradition with the Lyre. It was continued by theEgyptian Sphinx and the Greek Minotaur

thGAP - BAbyss in Moderno!! Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives ProjectMarc Dusseiller Dusjagr
thGAP - Transgenic Human Germline Alternatives Project, presents an evening of input lectures, discussions and a performative workshop on artistic interventions for future scenarios of human genetic and inheritable modifications.
To begin our lecturers, Marc Dusseiller aka "dusjagr" and Rodrigo Martin Iglesias, will give an overview of their transdisciplinary practices, including the history of hackteria, a global network for sharing knowledge to involve artists in hands-on and Do-It-With-Others (DIWO) working with the lifesciences, and reflections on future scenarios from the 8-bit computer games of the 80ies to current real-world endeavous of genetically modifiying the human species.
We will then follow up with discussions and hands-on experiments on working with embryos, ovums, gametes, genetic materials from code to slime, in a creative and playful workshop setup, where all paticipant can collaborate on artistic interventions into the germline of a post-human future.

4. Paintings from the Early Age:
Pre-Historic and Ancient Egypt
Paintings is one of the oldest art forms.
When societies began crafting tools and
making fire, they were also learning to
represent the world in pictures. These
pictures were recorded in cave paintings
that still exist today.
5. PAINTINGS FROM THE PRE-HISTORIC
(Image from Treasures of the World, 1961 CCP Library Cave of
Lascaux, 15000-10000 B.C. – Stone Age)
6. Even before humans learned to read
and write they were already artists as
manifested by the different
archeological discoveries from the
different parts of the world. Each and
every civilization of the world has its
distinct art forms depending on its
aesthetic and utilitarian needs.
7.
8. Prehistoric includes all human
existence before the emergence of
writing. Their art is of interest not
only to the art historians but also to
archeologist and anthropologist, for
whom the art is only one clue – along
with fossils, pollens, and other finds
to an understanding of early human
life and culture.
9.
10. Their paintings were found
inside the caves which may
have been their way of
communicating with each
other. It may also be for
religious or ceremonial
purposes.
11.
12. These paintings may be more on
artifact of the archeological evidence
than true picture of human’s first
created art.
Pre historic drawings of animals were
usually correct in proportion. The
dominant features in the painting were
large animals native in the region.

15. Prehistoric painting of Rhinoceroses in
inthe Chauvet Cave, France,dated circa35,000 BP
It is clear that such workmanship
existed by 40,000 years ago in
the Upper Paleolithic Era,
although it is quite possible that
itbeganearlier.
The Upper Paleolithic (or Upper
Paleolithic) is the third and last
subdivision of the Paleolithic or
Old Stone Age. Very broadly, it
dates to between 50,000 and
12,000 yearsago
18. The Venus of Brekhat Ram, have been
claimed as the earliest representations of
the human form The object, including its
"arms" and "legs", was created by
natural geological processes. The
horizontal grooves on both sides of the
object seem to be formed partly naturally
partly artificially (by percussion). The
object also contains traces of pigment,
which seems to
be iron and manganese according to
preliminary study.

20. Portable art (sometimes called Mobiliary Art) refers to the
small examples of Prehistoric Art that could be carried from place
to place, which is especially characteristic of the Art of the upper
Paleolithic and Mesolithic Eras, Often made of ivory, bone, antlers
orstone
The Venus of Willendorf is an 11.1-centimetre-tall (4.4 in) Venus
Figurine estimated to have been made around 25,000-30,000
years ago. It was found on August 7, 1908, by a workman named
