How did early humans use art to express their prehistoric culture?


        The early human expressed themselves and their culture by drawing and painting on walls. They mostly expressed them selves through art. That was one of the only ways to express themselves because they did not have a language. They were really good at art. The different types of arts they used to express themselves was sculpting, painting and drawing on walls.

    
       One thing that I noticed about early humans paintings was that they drew and painted a lot of animals. Some of the animals that the early humans painted were bison, horse, deer, cow and bull.The others thing they painted were  bullseye, geometric shapes, hand prints of young and adults to show that this is some ones cave and  it show the hand prints of the people how lived there.They also painted wavy lines and alot of geometric shapes. The sculptures might represent how lived there or a clan marking.

       The early humans are maybe trying to tell a story about what was happening everyday or when they went out for hunting. Some think geometric shapes had special meanings in rituals.
