Prehistoric art developed between 30,000-5,000 BC during the Stone Age by early humans known as cavemen. Cavemen lived in caves for shelter and left artistic markings on cave walls. Their art provided insights into their lives, showing they hunted animals like bison and deer for food and used sympathetic magic beliefs that harming images could influence real events. Cavemen created art through techniques like engraving and painting with pigments on cave surfaces in profile dimensions. This early art marked the beginning of human creative expression.

Sculpture powerpoint 1 (1)
Sculpture is defined as three-dimensional artwork that is created through various processes such as carving, modeling, casting, constructing, and assembling. Historically, sculpture was representational and static, but modern sculpture has expanded to include both representational and abstract forms that can be static, kinetic, or interactive. The main types of sculpture include works that are carved, modeled, cast, constructed, assembled, kinetic, site-specific/environmental, and installations. Sculpture is created using a variety of materials and techniques.

Stone age ceramics originated between 40,000-10,000 years ago during the late upper Paleolithic period. Paleolithic humans created portable and stationary art, with portable art being smaller pieces that could be transported while stationary art like cave paintings were fixed in place. These artworks depicted the experiences and symbols of these early people. The stone age was a time of significant development for humans, including advances in tools, settlement, food sources, pottery, and various forms of art. However, the specific artists who created stone age works are unknown since it was so long ago. Art was likely made to depict lifestyle, tell stories, or serve functional purposes like decoration.
History Of Art
The document provides a history of art from prehistoric times to the Neolithic period, beginning around 2.5 million BCE. It describes early artworks like cave paintings from 30,000 BCE and sculptures like the Venus of Willendorf. Rock carvings, pottery, and architecture developed through the Lower Paleolithic, Middle Paleolithic, and Upper Paleolithic periods. During the Mesolithic period, ceramic art became more common. In the Neolithic, pottery and fixed structures like Skara Brae and Stonehenge emerged as new art forms.
Unit 1. Prehistory
During prehistory, which lasted from around 2.5 million years ago until the invention of writing around 3500 BC, humans evolved from early hominids to hunter-gatherers who lived in tribes. The Palaeolithic period saw the first humans and use of tools like spears and axes made of stone. During the Neolithic period, around 9000 BC, humans transitioned to an agricultural lifestyle, settling in permanent villages and domesticating plants and animals. Various metal ages then followed, where cultures developed bronze and iron tools, enabling trade and the growth of cities.
Unit 1. Prehistory
Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Metal Ages were the main periods of Prehistory. During Paleolithic, nomadic hunter-gatherers lived in caves and used stone tools. In Neolithic, the development of agriculture led to permanent settlements like villages and new tools. The Metal Ages brought new technologies like copper, bronze and iron tools as well as the first cities with specialized labor and social hierarchy.
Indian culture
Prehistoric people created rock paintings in caves as one of the earliest forms of artistic expression. These paintings provided insight into how prehistoric humans lived and what they hunted. Archaeologists have discovered prehistoric rock art across India, including paintings depicting humans, animals, and geometric patterns in caves in several states. The earliest Indian paintings date back to the Upper Paleolithic period. Rock shelters in Uttarakhand contain paintings divided into categories of humans, animals, and patterns in various colors.
Prehistoric aart
Prehistoric art was created before written history, between 35,000 BCE to 1,500 BCE. Cro-Magnon peoples from 30,000 BCE are considered the first artists, living in caves and hunting animals. In 1879, the first prehistoric cave paintings were discovered in the Altamira Cave in Spain, featuring polychrome paintings of animals and human hands. Cave paintings from this period have also been found across Western Europe, featuring line drawings and handprints in red ochre and charcoal. The paintings may have been used for hunting rituals or to represent spiritual beliefs.

Stone Age ceramics and art developed between 40,000-10,000 years ago during the late Paleolithic period. Portable art created during this time was small and could be easily transported, depicting recognizable figures, while stationary cave paintings and art could not be moved and featured more symbolic non-figurative designs. Paints were made from natural pigments like ochre and charcoal. Though specific artists cannot be identified, stone age communities created art to represent their lives, tell stories, and for practical uses.
