An Artist in the Lascaux or Chauvet Cave Era.



Living today we know a lot about ancient civilizations such as who hunted, who nurtured, who protected and so on, but I don't think we would know as much as we do today if it wasn't for the cave illustrations, they made 10,000-30,000 years back.  I feel as though, if those cave illustrations weren't there, we would be missing a piece of history and we probably wouldn't know half the things we know today. Some things we probably wouldn't know are who hunted, the types of animals they had, entertainment, shelter and probably much more.

If I lived in a cave over 30, ooo years ago I would probably be trying to convey messages to the far future. I would personally tell the future more about my life than the whole tribe life. I would paint my mom, dad, sisters and brother telling the future I have a family. I would then probably paint some animals around my dad, meaning that he hunts, I would paint flowers and crops around my mom and sisters conveying that they grow the food supply and then maybe I would paint different instruments around my brother because he's very entertaining, for myself I'm not quite sure, I would most likely paint myself raising children and/or animals.
