 PREHISTORIC ART

Talented artists with their creativeartworks have served mankind for itsentire
existence. Even during the ancienttimes up to the early civilization and themodern
world, art has served severalfunctions in human life.
 PREHISTORIC ART
Paleolithic Period
• In arts was the time when primitive cave
artworks were created with the use of
primitive stone tools by primitive men.
This period was commonly represented by
the naturalistic images of prey animals and
the men that hunted them. Prehistoric caves
were also heavily decorated with painted
hand-stenciled rock art.
Neolithic Period
• The Neolithic Period or the shift from Old Stone
Age or Paleolithic to New Stone Age or
Neolithic happened when man began to develop
culture and change his lifestyle.
• Neolithic art reflected the great shift in living
conditions. The naturalistic art style of the
hunter gatherer of the Paleolithic had been
replaced by geometrically abstract art of
Neolithic farmers who started civilization.
• Man became civilized when he stopped being
nomadic and settled down and created
communities that grew crops and tamed wild
animals. The designs used on clay pots were
commonly derived from plant and animal forms.
 PHILIPPINE PRIMITIVE ART

The Philippines as a colony of Spain, U.S. and Japan saw the decline and destruction of its
ancient customs and traditions because of the strong influence of the conquering nations, which by
way f violence and intimidation, bent the people to their will and, thus, in effect left a country
hungry for its own identity. The recent findings of ancient antiquity prior to any occupation by the
other nations told us who we really were. The ancient antiquities simply concluded our true identity
as a people who were already civilized with our own writing system and intelligent enough to make
sophisticated tools and weapons long before the arrival of the first invaders.
