Guide Questions for Video 1: What was the common images created in the Lascaux Cave? What was the intention of the “artist” for creating these images?Guide Questions for Video 2: What made the Venus of Willendorf a work of art and not just an
artifact? What importance does this sculpture has in art history?Guide Questions for Video 3: What makes the Stonehenge an architectural interest for artist? What are the parts of the Stonehenge in terms of its stone
position? What carpentry technique was used to hold these stones in place
Viewing Activity
All art produced in preliterate, prehistorical cultures beginning somewhere in very late geological history, and generally continuing until that culture either develops writing or other methods of record-keeping, or makes significant contact with another culture that has, and that makes some record of major historical events.
What is Ancient Art?
Parietal Art Artworks that are applied to an
immoveable rock surface.derived from the Latin word "paries",
meaning wall is used to denote any prehistoric art found on cave walls.
Includes all types of cave painting, all forms of engraved rock art, or other petroglyphs, as well as any relief sculpture carved on walls, floors or ceilings. artwork done on cave walls or large blocks of stone
Classification of Stone Age Art
Mobiliary Art Artworks that are portable or moveable.Any small-scale portable art of prehistory,
such as the Venus figurines, ivory carvings, jewelery and other similar items
Most mobiliary art sculptures depict more humans than animals.
Classification of Stone Age Art
Paleolithic (2,500,000-10,000 BCE)Mesolithic (Europe, 10,000-4,000 BCE) Neolithic (Europe, 4,000-2,000 BCE)
Of these, the Paleolithic is by far the longer period, accounting for about 98 percent of the entire prehistoric era.
The term "Stone Age Art" refers loosely to any works created during these three periods
Stone Age Art
Petroglyphs derived from the Greek
word "petra" meaning stone, and "glyphein" meaning to carve
used to describe any image created on a rock surface by scouring, scratching, engraving, chiseling, carving or any similar methodExample: cupules, rock carvings and engravings
Types of Stone Age Art
Pictographs derived from the Latin
"pictus" meaning painting, and "graph/gram" meaning drawn or written
describes an image, sign or symbol which is created in order to express some idea or information.
pictorial imagery, ideomorphs, ideograms or symbolsExample: cave painting and drawing
Type of Stone Age Art
Prehistoric Sculpture
small totemic statuettes known as Venus Figurines, various forms of zoomorphic and therianthropic ivory carving and relief sculptures)
Type of Stone Age Art
Megalithic ArtPetroforms or any other works associated with
arrangements of stones
Megalithic art embraces any artistic activity involving the use of large stones, notably carving, relief sculpture and of course megalithic architecture.
Megolithic Art include monuments that were mostly burial chambers, portal tombs (dolmens), passage tombs (Newgrange) and gallery graves (Zuschen stone cist, Hesse),
Megalithic structures also included "alignments" (arrangements) of single upright stones, called menhirs (Carnac, Brittany) and stone circles (Stonehenge, UK) and sanctuaries (Gobekli Tepe, Turkey).
Type of Stone Age Art
Paleolithic Era (c.2,500,000 - 10,000 BCE)Characterized by a Stone Age subsistence culture and the
evolution of the human species from primitive australopiths via Homo erectus and Homo sapiens to anatomically modern humans.
Mesolithic Era (From 10,000 BCE)This era joins the Ice Age culture of the Upper Paleolithic with
the ice-free, farming culture of the Neolithic. It is characterized by more advanced hunter-gathering, fishing and rudimentary forms of cultivation.
Neolithic Era(From 8,000-4,000 BCE to 2000 BCE)This era is characterized by farming, domestication of animals,
settled communities and the emergence of important ancient civilizations (eg. Sumerian, Egyptian). Portable art and monumental architecture dominate.
Timeline for the Ancient Art Period
Read on notable works of art during the Ancient Time, the Venus Figures, Cave Paintings, and notable structures, try to get the reason why they were made.
Research on a Philippine counterpart of Ancient Art, indicate its exact location, possible date of creation and type of ancient art
Bring the following:1 Tablespoon of Dry Soil1 Large stone (fist-size)
Assignment
Materials:One smooth stone One rough rock
a) Select a caveman inspired animal presented in a caveman painting (Lascaux or Chavet) and sketch on the rock using a ballpen or pencil on the smooth rock.
b) Using the rough rock etch the design on the smooth stone to create the petroglyphs.
