A.C.E. - Cave Paintings

We heard a true story about how, not too long ago, four children in France discovered a cave full of paintings that were over 15,000 years old. 

Cave people did not have art supply stores, so they had to make their own paint.  We did too! We were scavengers and found different things outside to mix together to make our paint. Our paint is made of finely crushed dirt, grass, flowers, and leaves.

Miss Frerking turned the art room into an underground cave system, and we had to crawl under tables to paint on the inside of the dark cave walls.  These paintings have been extracted for you too see.
