Look at paintings from the Chauvet or Lascaux caves in books or on the Internet. What do they represent? What do they indicate about Stone Age people?



What will be an ideal response?


Ans: The students will note that although we do not know what precisely the paintings represented, they should make some mention of the breakthrough of symbolic representation. They could also mention something related to mythology and religion. In addition, since caves were most probably used as shelter, the pictures could also be practical, telling of dangers or nearby food sources.
