RHYTHM Direction: Students will assess or analyze the picture to determine what the picture conveys. It refers to all art that was created before cultures had developed more complex forms of expression and communication such as a written language.  Cave paintings are prehistoric images found on the walls of caves all over the world.  Cave paintings may have been a way of communicating with other people, documenting hunting expeditions, or part of spiritual beliefs.  The materials used in cave painting were natural substances such as black charcoal, animal blood, different colored minerals, and lump ochers on earth pigments combined with clay.  The first cave paintings were found in 1879 in Altamira, Spain. These paintings are sometimes called “The Sistine Chapel of Paleolithic Art” since scholars compare it to the paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.  The cave with its painting has been declared a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site in 1985.  It contains seven decorated chambers with more than 2000 images that can be grouped into three main categories- animals, human figures, and abstract signs.  Rooms in the cave include the Hall of the Bulls, the Passageway, the Shaft of the Dead Man, the Nave, the Apse, and the Lascaux.  The cave was discovered in 1994 by Eliette Brunel-Deschamps, Christian Hillaire, and Jean-Marie Chauvet for whom it was named.  Ithas two main parts- most pictures are red and animals are mostly black. The Horse Panel and the Panel of Lions and Rhinoceroses are the grandest images. Direction: Students will be divided into 2 groups. Then each group needs to try to complete the puzzle to know what is the picture all about.  The earliest sculpted objects dated from 27,000 to 32,000 years ago were cut from ivory, horn, bone, or stone.  To represent the prehistoric idea of feminine beauty, they were dubbed “venuses” in reference to the Roman goddess of beauty.  Venus figurines were carved from soft stone, bone, ivory, or formed from clay and fired. These are modest in size, between 4cm and 25cm in height. Most of them are roughly diamond-shaped, with a wide fat belly tapering to the head and legs, usually have no arms, feet, or facial detail.  It is the oldest known Stone Age sculpture found on the Golan Heights, Israel in 1981 by archeologist Naama Goren-Inbar.  It is the second humanoid figure to emerge from the pre-Homo Sapiens era of the Lower Paleolithic. It was discovered in 1999 in Morocco.  It is the famous early image of woman found in Austria.  Thefigure may have been used as a fertility symbol and an image of a mother goddess.  It is the first bas-relief sculpture of a naked woman. The figure holds a bison horn in her right hand that contains 13 notches, probably signifying the number of menstrual cycle in a year.  Anothercommon subject in prehistoric sculpture is the animals.  Some spectacular examples include the Swimming Reindeer carved about 11,000 BCE from a mammoth tusk, the Creeping Hyena, 12,000 to 17, 000 years ago from mammoth ivory, and the Bull of Maikop, a gold figurine made about 2,500 BCE. Direction: Students will be divided into 3 groups. Using a body, the students will act or tableau the different architecture in the prehistoric era.  Somescholars say that architecture was born when people first made earthen mounds and monolithic stone hinges.  Principal examples of these structures are monolith or menhir, dolmen and cromlech.  Thisis a prehistoric monument consisting of a single upright stone or megalith.  This is a prehistoric monument of two or more upright stones supporting a horizontal stone slab. It is often used as a tomb or grave.  Thisis a prehistoric monument consisting of one large flat stone which is supported by two or more upright stones. It is also a circular arrangement of megaliths enclosing a dolmen or burial mound.  One famous cromlech is Stonehenge in Salisbury Plain in England.  It is included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage List and calls it “ the most architecturally STONEHENGE IN sophisticated SALISBURY, ENGLAND prehistoric stone circle in the world”. Directions: Identify the artwork based from the pictures posted. Write your answer on the whiteboard and wait for the signal when to reveal your answer.  Do you believe that art existed ever since man learned to draw and before he could even start to talk? Why?  Read about Egyptian Art. Direction: Students will write in ¼ sheet of clean paper their: 3 things they learned today 2 Things if they have questions 1 Thing they want their teacher to know CLOSING PRAYER
