Year 3 Prehistoric Art
We have been learning all about cave art and creating our own simple animal sketches using chalks and charcoal, thinking about the shapes we use and how to add minimal detail. We then used berries and spices to create our own paints just like they would have done in prehistoric times to make our own cave walls of animal sketches and handprints just like the famous Cueva de las Manos.
