 Ancient Art
Ancient times can be classified into three
periods: Paleolithic (Stone Age), Mesolithic
(Middle Stone Age), and Neolithic (New
Stone Age). Ancient art during these periods
includes all evidence of human existence and
culture before the emergence of writing.
Some examples of ancient art are paintings,
sculptures, and pottery engravings, which
show social and spiritual concepts that the
early civilizations believed in.
Paleolithic Artists usually used five main
colors in creating art. These colors are
yellow, red, brown, black, and white and
depicted animals, humans, and archaic
symbols.

Cave art- consists of five principal

motifs: human figures, animals, tools and
weapons, rudimentary local maps, and
symbols or ideograms.
These motifs are done on portable objects
(engraved, sculpted, or clay-modeled)
and immovable surfaces (rock paintings
and engravings.) A well-known example
of cave art is the Lascaux Cave paintings.
These are abstract representations done
using brushes made from animal fur.
Prehistoric Sculptures
The Venus of Willendorf is one of
the earliest images of the body
made by humankind. It was carved
from limestone and colored with red
ochre. It measures 110 mm in
height (4 ½ inches) and is dated
between 30, 000 and 25, 000 BC.
Some theories suggest that it was
used as a fertility charm.
Venus of Brassempouy is a fragmentary
ivory figurine from the Upper Paleolithic
Age, discovered by Edouard Piette and
Joseph de Laporterie. It is one of the
earliest known realistic representations of
the human face in a triangular shape with
the forehead, nose, and brows carved on
relief and with no mouth. The head is
done with a checkerboard-like pattern
formed by two series of shallow incisions
at right angles to each other.
