We stumbled across the Julia Donaldson book Cave Baby (affiliate link) in our local library and after reading it Pink started asking about living in a cave and how did they survive without a stove …
More Photos To Come :) What a successful EVENT! Our First art show here a Danz was a success! We had 6 local artists come and demonstrate their skills in painting, photography, pinata making and sewing! We had author Katy McKy here who was signing her books. We also had 3 different dance/music performances! It was definitely a huge hit with students and families!
Introduction: The Paleolithic period, also known as the Old Stone Age, was the earliest and longest period of human history, lasting from about 2.6 million years ago until approximately 10,000 BCE. During this time, humans lived in hunter-gatherer societies and relied on stone tools for survival. This era is marked by significant developments in human
Sixth graders have finished their cave walls! Last year I didn't get to do a cave art project with the students because they breezed through the unit in social studies and started right in on the Ancient Egyptians. This year, I made sure I started this early, so as we have finished this up in art class, the students are just starting cave art in social studies...perfect timing! Tomorrow is parent-teacher conference night so we managed to get this done just in time. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the paper into those nice display strips I bought last year through the Parent's Association, but they were still useful to tape up the cave walls on. (The crinkled paper just wouldn't slide in the strips!) This project took us a total of about 2 1/2 class periods to complete. On the first day, which was essentially the half day, I showed my power point about prehistoric art and we did the virtual tour of Lascaux Cave on the smartboard. On the second day, we unrolled and took a huge sheet of brown butcher paper outside on the sidewalk. I had the students all line up on both sides and in pairs. Then then slowly crinkled and unfolded the paper to give it physical texture. Next, we took natural colored chalk that I have and rubbed it all over the wrinkled paper. Using paper towels, we wiped it to blend all the colors together. One class did a better job blending the colors than the other, but then the other class did a better job (in my opinion) of filling their cave wall with large cave paintings! On the third day, we took about 15 minutes to talk about and mix our egg yolk tempera. I gave each table four cups. One had pigment in it, two were empty, and one had the egg yolk. I sent one person to the sinks to fill one empty cup and get a paint brush for mixing. In the other empty cup, I asked them to fill it about 2/3 full with the powdered pigment I gave their table. Then, they had to slowly add water to create a paste, about the consistency of tooth paste. Lastly, I had them add the paste mixture to the egg yolk, mix and shake. I added these signs on the wall across from the cave walls... My first year of teaching, I actually set up a real "cave" for the cave art we did. That year, I had the students rip the edges and then crinkle Manila tag board. We painted them with tempera and then quickly rinsed the tempera off the paper before it dried. This created a similar effect to the chalk. That year, we didn't make our own paint. Then, I also had the students use chalk and paint on rocks to create a painting on an actual rock. I set up my easy-up tent in the media center (I only put it up about half way) at our school and then attached blankets all the way around. I pinned up all of the cave art inside on the blankets, laid the rocks down at the bottom along the edge of the blankets, and then set a lantern on the outside so people could crawl in like a real cave to view the artwork. It was a huge success, but A LOT of work! I set it up the next year for our art show as well (if you check out the 2012 Art Show page, you can see two pictures that sort of show the cave. One shows a "cave man" inside the cave (it's a dark photo) and the other shows our other "cave man" standing outside of it!)

Neolithic Age Diorama Dear friends , this school year my daughter has to learn about the Stone age with all its subdivisions - the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Chalcolithic Ages! It can get pretty confusing trying to remember what happened during each age!! But kudos to the clever History teacher who asked the children to make a chart, a powerpoint presentation or a model on an assigned age! My daughter got Neolithic Age, and of course, if you have been following my blog for sometime you will guess correctly that she opted to make a 3 D model rather than an easier chart or powerpoint presentation!!Haha!! Neolithic Age Diorama We planned out the elements in our Diorama such that each unique and important aspect of the Neolithic Period was highlighted. The main reason I am sharing this project in so much detail is that it may benefit someone in future...When I googled about this period I found there was hardly any school project type material online!! And for my crafty friends....well do sit back and be transported back into Neolithic Age!! Neolithic Age Diorama During the Paleolithic Age which preceded the Neolithic Age , men were predominantly nomads hunting for food and living in caves. During the Neolithic Period they started farming and settled down in small fenced villages and built homes with thatched roofs. Neolithic Age Diorama The type of tools used is distinctive in each age . During the Neolithic Period , sophisticated stone tools evolved. My daughter made all the tiny tools referring to pictures of Neolithic tools in her textbook and online. She molded the tools using air drying clay and added "toothpick" handles to some of the tools as "handles" were a hallmark of Neolithic Period stone tools! Stone Tools Neolithic man could make more polished tools compared to his predecessors as he made use of the "grindstone" to smoothen and shape his stone tools! My daughter's grindstone was fashioned with clay which she painted with acrylic paint to give the "stone look"! Stone Tool Making- Neolithic Age Neolithic man also used "basalt" ...a type of stone which did not chip easily and hence could be shaped into finer stone tools. And in the picture below you can see the "bone" tools my daughter fashioned by cutting clay which had dried up! Neolithic Age Tools During this period man discovered fire and pottery! And my kiddo was sooo proud of all her little pots and vessels she made painstakingly! She added all kinds of little details like the "mound of clay" on the side besides the pots from which the pots were made! Neolithic Age And can you see the food she added to one of the plates![Its craft foam putty!] Neolithic Age Diorama And we added a toy basket as Neolithic man were expert at basket making!! Woven Basket in Neolithic Age The invention of the wheel happened in the Neolithic Period ...and they made the wheels by carving stone!! Just imagine! Stone Wheel in Neolithic Age And the major points differentiating the Neolithic Period from the Paleolithic Period....cultivation and domestication of animals! Neolithic Age Diorama It is times like these where I am soo glad I have a nice stash of craft supplies I can fall back on to make a project quicker and easier! We could use dies to quickly and easily add a lot of plants to our diorama! Neolithic Period man cultivated rice, wheat and barley. Our diorama has maize plants but then I guess that's okay!!Hehe! Neolithic Age Diorama - Cultivation Neolithic man settled down near rivers and streams and our deep blue stream is bordered by glittery reeds and vines! Th muddy mound you see near the flower is a lump of clay!! Turned out sooo realistic ! Neolithic Age - riverside settlement Most of the objects in the diorama were created by my daughter with help from me for the hot gluing aspect but I couldn't resist contributing bits here and there and one of them is the lotus! [here is the tutorial : Easy Flower Tutorial ] ! Neolithic Age Diorama My kiddo painted the muddy patches and grassy terrain for her animals. And boy was this an educational as well as a fun project! And can you spot the "socks" on one of the cows...well that poor chap had his legs eaten off by my dog when he was a puppy ...but the good news is he can now happily stand on prosthetic clay feet [created by my daughter] ! Neolithic Age - Domestication of Animals We had signs put up to highlight each important aspect of Neolithic life and my daughter used glitter foam to depict fire! The little rocks you can spy right at the back behind the sign was the carton packaging of eggs!!Hehe yeah we used a lot of recycled objects in this project! Neolithic Age - Religious Practices It is always fascinating to read about religious practises and I was so surprised to read that Megaliths [which are huge stone boulders used to mark burial sites] can still be seen in my home state of Kerala , near the popular tourist town of Munnar! Neolithic Age - Religious Practices Our project took a good many hours to complete but boy my daughter was sooo proud of it ! And the best thing is that I think she will remember all the important facts of the Neolithic Period for a good many years!!

Now isn’t this Peach Tourmaline ring just adorable? The sweet sentiment of the toi et moi ring comes to mind when looking at this deliciously dainty two stone ring; two tourmaline lovers lovers suspended together for eternity. Rather simplistic in its composition, this 1930’s ring fully embodies the streamlined and geometric design aesthetic of the art deco period which officially ended in 1939. The hue of the 9ct gold band compliments the peachy tone of the stones beautifully; the way the colors accent one another reminds me of early summer sun (I’m a poet at heart, SUE ME) maybe making this ring one of my favorite stone & gold combinations currently in the inventory. Lofty words, for a dainty and distinguished vintage jewel. Materials and Features: 9ct and Tourmaline Age/Origin: English, 1930 Measurements: 2.25g, Size 9 Condition: In in wonderful condition, little to no age ware. Please view and inspect any photos closely. We endeavor to fully disclose all condition information clearly and concisely, however, please note that what qualifies as excellent condition for historical jewelry differs from modern and contemporary pieces; please take the age of the piece into account when examining the piece. Minor age wear is typical and to be expected for antique and vintage jewelry.

I have been fascinated by the caves at Lascaux, France, since I learned about them in one of my very first college art history classes. I ...
These are samples of 4th grade cave paintings on "rock" (no, it is not traditional clay - read on to find out the crazy material we used). Students did their artwork after learning about the paintings in Lascaux and other caves painted over 15,000 years ago. First, we brainstormed about the possible materials that would have been used, since there was no Wal-Mart 17,000 years ago to buy art supplies! And we discussed possible reasons for prehistoric man to have created these greart works of art. Then, we created our own hunks of cave wall for our artwork. To prepare in advance of this lesson, I gathered bags of shredded paper from the school office, and poured in some hot water to soften it up. The next day, I mixed up a couple of batches of Art Paste (shown in the yellow box below), and poured a bunch into the bags of softened recycled paper. Some kids came in at lunchtime and were thrilled to be able to help squish the "dog drool" into the gloppy paper. When 4th grade art class time arrived, I handed each student a bundle of "glop", and as we discussed the story of Lascaux and brainstormed for ideas, each student continued to knead his lump, breaking down the paper so it became a textural claylike substance by the end of the class. Here's my hands demo-ing kneading the lump. Then, each student "patty-caked" their lump into a slab of rock wall. Before putting it away to dry, students inserted a paper clip into the top to serve as a hanger. Now for the big adventure! Students had looked at animal pictures and prepared drawings in advance of "entering the caves". When they arrived for art class, they found the tables either draped with fabric or blocked off with large sheets of cardboard. Their paper clay had dried out and was rock solid and virtually unbreakable. The lights were dimmed, a CD with the sounds of wolves, rain, and other natural sounds was turned on, and students took their needed materials into their caves (under the tables). They used pieces of vine charcoal to draw, and I provided various neutral colors of paint. Paint was brought into the caves by placing small dips of colors on sheets of scrap paper, which also became mixing palettes. Some students preferred the solitude of their own corner of a cave, while others chose to crowd into a cave together. Some used flashlights as torches, and others occasionally emerged from the cave to check out their color choices. The kids were thrilled. You would have thought that I gave them the best present ever, and not just the opportunity to sit on the uncomfortable floor under a table! After the rock was painted, the kids also had the opportunity to either stamp or stencil their hand on a sheet of brown Kraft paper, which became the backing paper on a bulletin board. The 4th graders are very proud of their "prehistoric" cave paintings.
Stone Age display coming along nicely ☺️ #NQT #topic #ks2 #history #display #classroom
Here is one of my favourite lessons: Cave Art. These were created by 6th grade students. We looked at the famous Caves of Lascaux, in France and watched a Youtube video about them. These paintings are estimated to be 17,300 years old. They consist mostly of primitive images of large animals, most of which are known from fossil evidence to have lived in the area at the time. The images include bison, bulls, horses, mammoths, etc. The caves were discovered by chance in 1941 by French teenager Marcel Ravidat, and his three friends. They found a hole in the ground while exploring a forest and Marcel climbed down into it- this tunnel led to the caves. The boys initially kept the caves a secret, but soon told their teacher about it, as they knew him to be interested in archaeology and prehistoric art. From then on, the caves became famous around the world. The original caves are now closed to the public (due to deterioration of the paintings cause by too many visitors), but the French authorities have recreated the caves nearby which are supposedly very realistic. You can visit an excellent online version here: http://www.lascaux.culture.fr/?lng=en#/fr/00.xml (You get to take a virtual tour through the caves and listen to soothing music too! lol) I hung up large cave art posters for the kids to refer to. They are called "Lascaux Cave Art Prints" which were ordered from the company Crystal Productions. It also comes with a DVD. What I find so fascinating about these caves is that you can see extinct animals such as the mammoth and animals not typical for the area today (hyenas, lions, panthers, woolly rhinoceroses, in France!) Lascaux may be one of the more famous sites for cave art in the world, but of course, there are many others including the '"Cave of Swimmers" in the Sahara Desert and the Chauvet Cave in southern France. A documentary called "Cave of Forgotten Dreams", by Werner Herzog, was recently made about these caves. There's also the Cave of Altamira in Spain. Here's an interesting video of the rock art found in the 'Cave of Swimmers' (made famous in the movie "The English Patient".) These painted caves in Egypt were 'discovered' (the local Bedouins already knew about them) by the Hungarian explorer László Almásy in October 1933. They are unusual in that they depict many human figures swimming, which shows that the Sahara Desert once had lakes and water. To recreate cave walls, we used brown butcher paper and scrunched it up a bunch of times to make it nice and textural. We also added transparent washes of brown-ish tempera paint to give it even more depth. Then, using chalk pastels, we added more texture lines (cracks, irregularities on the cave walls) using dark brown and black chalk. Blend, blend, blend. Then students made a stylized stencil of an animal(s) out of cardstock. They freehand drew these and looked at the posters for inspiration. Then stencil (use a pouncing up-and-down motion with a round brush) these onto the background paper using natural colored tempera paint. Paleolithic artists have five main colors at their disposal: yellow, red, brown, black and white. White is more rare, but it is seen at Lascaux cave. The colours used were produced from ochre (reds and yellows), manganese dioxide (violet and black) and charcoal (black). These minerals were pulverized on stone palettes and mixed with animal fat to moisten them before they were applied with the fingers, bone spatulae or brushes. (source) Here's an example of an animal stencil- just use scrap card or old file folders. (My kids use paper palettes as they don't require cleaning afterwards!) Nice variety of colours and use of overlapping.... Great sense of motion in this one!
