Investigating the Past

The question I chose for my investigating the past blog is" How did early humans use art to express their prehistoric culture?"   

Many early humans did not communicate through language alone.  So, many of them used art to help them communicate their feelings and express themselves.  They combined animal and plant resources to make paint to paint their open walls of their caves.  They depicted good events and bad ones too such as dead animals that represented successful hunting trips and some even had a hunting trip gone wrong.  

Thankfully they did this because it gives us at least a glimpse into this prehistoric race and although we know little of the actual culture from that time we at least have these paintings that give us a small understanding to the culture of our ancient past.
