Today, Y3OS studied some of the Stone Age Cave paintings that have been discovered in caves across the world. We thought about why our ancestors might have painted animals on the walls such as those found in the Cave of Altermira in Spain. We considered how the Stone Age people created hand prints such as those found in Cuevas de las Manos in Argentina.

After choosing some of our favourite paintings and explaining why we liked them, we tried to replicate some Stone Age drawings using charcoal, chalk and pastels. Take a look at some of our masterpieces!
