Art is as old as humanity. I have often said that art is what defines us as human. It is why and how we got out of the trees. The ability to express ourselves creatively is what allows humans to come together, to understand each other, to envision a better future. While prehistoric art predates recorded history and therefore we have no artist’s statements giving us certainty into the intentions behind these works, we do see clues in the designs, the materials used by the aritsts, and the placement of the pieces.
My 5 favorite prehistoric pieces (links to episodes of Who ARTed when applicable):
The world's oldest artwork - handprint fossils
The Apollo 11 Stones
The Running Horned Woman
Stonehenge
The Lascaux Cave Paintings
