We are learning about cave paintings. 17,000 years ago cavemen painted marvellous and astonishing paintings on rock walls deep within caves. A cave might have hundreds of different paintings of animals and hunters. They used soil and dry rock mixed with water to make paint. The painters drew stick figures for people and animals such as the horse, the ox and the deer. The paintings tell us a lot about the early people and their lives.
