Cave paintings are expressions of the
culture of historic people. They
document the history of their people
and time period. Cave paintings are
like very early hieroglyphics, but
of a different culture.
Cave paintings began about 35,000 years
ago by prehistoric man. They used bone
for brushes, animal hair for tips, and
juices for paint.
Each one tells a story. A lot of cave
paintings were found in Lascaux, Southern
France. These paintings show pain, like
the loss of a finger, or happiness, like a
new child. Cave paintings are also found
in Australia, Europe, and the western
United States.
Cave paintings help people of today's
world understand and study what it was
like to live in prehistoric times.
