1. The location of Lascaux Caves
The Lascaux cave paintings were discovered by four teenage boys by accident. The cave is in the Lascaux woods in France.
2. The work required to be a pre-historic cave painter
The Pre-Historic Cave painters had to go to great lengths to create the paintings that they did. it must have taken a long time just to make the paint and then the brushes. When they did use brushes, it is thought thta they were made out of some tupes of reeds or bristles.
3. When and why they may have painted
The cave paintings were done in the dark parts of the caves. No one knows why exactly the paintings were done. However, some theories were said to be that they were done during hunting and the painters painted the animals which they wished to catch. Other thoughts on the paintings were that they were a part of religious ceromonies.
4. Lascaux images
The Lascaux Paintings are thought to be about 30,000 to 10,000 years old.
5. Artist techniques used. What is gradation of value?
The paint that was used was made from lumps of clay and soft stone that ground into fine powder. The pigment was then mixed with animal fat or blood. The pigment was then applied to teh smoothest walls with their fingers. At the Altamira they had a more advanced technique. The outline of the animal was scratched into hte wall and filled in with a dark colored pigment. After that, realistic features were added which suggested the artist studied the animals carefully before painting. Gradation of value is a shading technique which uses a slow transition between opposites.
6. Careful attention to the reading is evident
7. The feeling of being a cave artist
To be a cave painter it must have been very difficult. Not only the painting adn making the supplies they needed but being in the cave itself. The only light that they had was provided by stone lamps that were filled with animal fat. Between the smell of the lights and the smell of the pigment used as paint, which also had animal fat and blood in it, the cave probably smelled gross and was just not a fun placee to be in.
