Cave Art

I am an art teacher half-time this year.  It's a challenge to think of art activities that students want to do, or will participate in at all.  With the anniversary of the discovery of the Chauvet cave art in France in 1941, we decided to have the kids draw and paint their own version of these fascinating images.  It gave me an opportunity to teach some history, too.  Thanks to Google Images and my Smart Board we found some stunning pictures to inspire them.  The panels our five classes painted are hanging in the halls for Family Night tonight.  Very cool indeed.
