Students had to crawl through a cave (created by me with lots of brown roll paper, a table and lots of staples and tape) to enter the art room. Once students gathered on the learning carpet, I introduced Lascaux Cave and we discussed the pictures in the cave. We talked about symbols and how they were used 40,000 years ago and how we still use symbols today. We talked about weather, sports, animal, etc. symbols. Students also watched a virtual tour of the cave on the smart board.
Students used chalk pastel to make their cave on paper. They used their hand to blend colors and then drew a weather symbol and animal symbol with oil pastel. They finished by painting their hand and making a handprint symbol to represent them as an artist.
Our district's superintendent, Dr. Kist-Kline made a visit and crawled through the cave along with talking to students and taking pictures.
