B.C Paintings

Well I bet your wandering why did the Homo Sapiens paint? How did they survive? Why do they do all these things? Well Im going to answer one of these questions. Why and what did they paint.

One of the paintings me and my partner Ayaka looked at was a painting called "Cave Painting of Shapes and handprints".  The painting has handprints and designs all over it. It looks as if there are Does running in a group around the painting. There are some odd looking shape, like one that is in the shape of a cat. Did they have pet cats then? They're handprints are all over the wall. There are big ones and small ones. Is this how they signed there artwork? Or did small children just paint for fun? A question to be answered. There're is also a big circle with more circles inside of it getting smaller. It seems to be taking the shape of a target. Well this is enough for the first painting so I will talk about a second now.

This one isn't really a painting. It's more of a sculptures if you ask me. This one is called Clay sculptures. Scientists found small foot prints in front of the clay sculptures and assumed that they took place in rituals. They other thing is the carving is of a bison. And it seemed that the lower bison was more detailed on the one above it.

  1. I know exactly what you mean! We play that game to, when there is a medium wave we
    will just bob over it but if it is a massive wave you always have to jump in the middle of if you don’t want to die! It is so much fun. Anyways, ‘monster wave’ is an excellent way to describe a massive wave like that.
