The document discusses the origins and purposes of cave paintings. It notes that the earliest cave paintings in Europe date back 40,000 years ago in Spain. While the exact purpose is unknown, theories suggest they were not merely decorations but may have been used to communicate or for religious/ceremonial purposes. The first cave paintings were discovered in 1870 in Altamira, Spain and were painted between 16,000-9,000 BC by the Magdalenian people, mainly depicting bisons.

1. Cave paintings
Are paintings found on cave walls and ceilings, and especially refer to those of prehistoric origin. The earliest
such art in europe dates back to the Aurignacian period, approximately 40,000 years ago, and is found in the El
Castillo cave in Cantabria, Spain. The exact purpose of the paleolithic cave paintings is not known. Evidence
suggests that they were not merely decorations of living areas, since the caves in which they have been found
do not have signs of ongoing habitation. They are also often located in areas of caves that are not easily
accessible. Some theories hold that cave paintings may have been a way of communicating with others, while
other theories ascribe a religious or ceremonial purpose to them.
Origins: The first cave paintings were found in 1870 in Altimira, Spain by Don Marcelino and his
daughter. They were painted by the Magdalenian people between 16,000-9,000 BC. This would
have been 11,000-19,000 years ago. These paintings at Altimira are mainly of the bison. Many
of the bison are drawn and then painted using the boulders for the animal’s shoulders. This made
them look three-dimensional. These paintings are sometimes called “The Sistine Chapel of
Paleolithic Art”.

Oral Tradition
Oral tradition and oral lore is cultural material and tradition transmitted orally from one generation to
another. The messages or testimony are verbally transmitted in speech or song and may take the form, for
example, of folktales, sayings, ballads, songs, or chants. In this way, it is possible for a society to transmit oral
history, oral literature, oral law and other knowledges across generations without a writing system.
Origins
Oral tradition as a field of study had its origins in the work of the Serb scholar Vuk Stefanovid Karadžid (1787–
1864), a contemporary and friend of theBrothers Grimm. Vuk pursued similar projects of "salvage folklore"
(similar to rescue archaeology) in the cognate traditions of the Southern Slavicregions which would later be

2. gathered into Yugoslavia, and with the same admixture of romantic and nationalistic interests (he considered
all those speaking the Eastern Herzegovinian dialect as Serbs). Somewhat later, but as part of the same
scholarly enterprise of nationalist studies in folklore, the turcologist Vasily Radlov (1837–1918) would study
the songs of the Kara-Kirghiz in what would later become the Soviet Union; Karadzic and Radloff would provide
models for the work of Parry.

Theatre
Theatre or theatre is a collaborative form of fine art that uses live performers to present the experience of a
real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place. The performers may communicate this
experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song, music, and dance. Elements of
design and stagecraft are used to enhance the physicality, presence and immediacy of the experience. The
specific place of the performance is also named by the word "theatre" as derived from the Ancient
Greek θέατρον (théatron, “a place for viewing”), itself from θεάομαι (theáomai, “to see", "to watch", "to
observe”).
Origins
The history of theatre charts the development of theatre over the past 2,500 years. While performative
elements are present in every society, it is customary to acknowledge a distinction between theatre as an art
form and entertainment and theatrical or performativeelements in other activities. The history of theatre is
primarily concerned with the origin and subsequent development of the theatre as an autonomous activity.
Since classical Athens in the 6th century BCE, vibrant traditions of theatre have flourished in cultures across
the world.

3. Text
A written language is the representation of a language by means of a writing system. Written language is
an invention in that it must be taught to children; children will pick up spoken language (oral or sign) by
exposure without being specifically taught.
A written language exists only as a complement to a specific spoken language, and no natural language is
purely written. However, extinct languagesmay be in effect purely written when only their writings survive
Origin:
It is generally agreed that true writing of language (not only numbers) was invented independently in at least
two places: Mesopotamia (specifically, ancient Sumer) around 3200 BCE and Mesoamerica around 600 BCE.
Several Mesoamerican scripts are known, the oldest being from the Olmec orZapotec of Mexico.
It is debated whether writing systems were developed completely independently in Egypt around 3200 BCE
and in China around 1200 BCE, or whether the appearance of writing in either or both places was due
to cultural diffusion (i.e. the concept of representing language using writing, if not the specifics of how such a
system worked, was brought by traders from an already-literate civilization).

Film
A film, also called a movie or motion picture, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates
the illusion of moving images due to phi phenomenon. A film is created by photographing actual scenes with
a motion picture camera; by photographing drawings or miniature models using

4. traditionalanimation techniques; by means of CGI and computer animation; or by a combination of some or all
of these techniques and other visual effects. Contemporary definition of cinema is the art of simulating
experiences, that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty or atmosphere by the means of
recorded or programed moving images along with other sensory stimulations.
Origin:
In the mid-19th century, inventions such as the phenakistoscope and zoetrope demonstrated that a carefully
designed sequence of drawings, showing phases of the changing appearance of objects in motion, would
appear to show the objects actually moving if they were displayed one after the other at a sufficiently rapid
rate. These devices relied on the phenomenon of persistence of vision to make the display appear continuous
even though the observer's view was actually blocked as each drawing rotated into the location where its
predecessor had just been glimpsed. Each sequence was limited to a small number of drawings, usually twelve,
so it could only show endlessly repeating cyclical motions. By the late 1880s, the last major device of this type,
the praxinoscope, had been elaborated into a form that employed a long coiled band containing hundreds of
images painted on glass and used the elements of a magic lantern to project them onto a screen.

5. TV
Television (TV) is a telecommunication medium for transmitting and receiving moving images that can
be monochrome (black-and-white) or colored, with or without accompanying sound. "Television" may
also refer specifically to a television set, television program, or television transmission.
The etymology of the word has a mixed Latin and Greek origin, meaning "far sight": Greek tele (τῆ λε),
far, and Latin visio, sight (from video, vis- to see, or to view in the first person).
Origin:
In its early stages of development, television employed a combination of optical, mechanical
and electronic technologies to capture, transmit and display a visual image. By the late 1920s,
however, those employing only optical and electronic technologies were being explored. All modern
television systems relied on the latter, although the knowledge gained from the work
onelectromechanical systems was crucial in the development of fully electronic television.
The first images transmitted electrically were sent by early mechanical fax machines, including
the pantelegraph, developed in the late nineteenth century. The concept of electrically powered
transmission of television images in motion was first sketched in 1878 as the telephonoscope, shortly
after the invention of the telephone. At the time, it was imagined by early science fiction authors, that
someday that light could be transmitted over copper wires, as sounds were.
