| Lascaux, France |
The first grade students are beginning a series of cultural art units. Before we begin learning about the art of India, Australia, Japan, and other countries, we thought about who we thought made the very first piece of art. Students had lots of answers that ranged from Picasso and George Washington to Jesus, but we decided there was no real way to know. We can only guess by studying the oldest art we know. Then we had fun looking at the oldest art that has been discovered. We explored some caves around the world with ancient paintings, including this cave in
Lascaux. Students listed colors and images they saw, and then they referenced these lists as they made their own cave drawings. We, of course, had to display them in a cave, so we built one in the classroom!
