First Grade Channeling Their Inner Caveman

The first graders have been quite the time travelers these past few months! We just finished up with Egyptian art a few weeks ago and now have gone even further back in time to study cave art. The first graders learned all about the Lascaux Caves in France where STUDENTS accidentally discovered the famous Lascaux Cave Art. After studying cave art and why the pictures were created, the students channeled their inner caveman and drew their own cave art. After they did their 4 practice drawings, they picked their favorite to draw on their clay slab. After they were fired, we painted them just like the cave men did- well...ALMOST like the cavemen did! (Somehow I doubt the cavemen had Crayola watercolors to paint with! Check out Mrs. Chance's first graders creating their cave art.
