Lesson idea - Cave Paintings

Lascaux Cave Paintings

Excellent starting point for 'mark making'.  Explore the cave on the website, discovering the various cave paintings.  Concentrate on the shapes, the images, the types of lines.  
From there, the children could explore mark making:
- on different types of backgrounds (paper / material / clay)
- using various techniques (lines / dots / dashes etc)
- using various tools and implements (paintbrushes / crayons / fingers, ICT etc) - which ones give the most 'cave drawing like' impression?
