Lascaux Cave Paintings






In 1940 in south western France in Lascuax some teenagers stumbled across cave paintings from 17,300 years ago. In 1955 the carbon dioxide was corroding the walls from 1200 people visiting every day so they made a replica of the exibition and sealed the real one away to the public. 




This term we studied the walls and made some of our own cave paintings. First we drew our cave paintings on brown paper then went over in oil pastel and paint. Then we scrunched the paper up to make it look rocky.
