You have now read about what artists, designers, and craftspeople do. After you read the
assignments in the text and the lecture notes, in your own words, tell the class why you think we
study the rock paintings in Africa and cave paintings in Lascaux, Altamira, and Chauvet in a course
like this. What do these prehistoric paintings and drawings have to do with being human? What do
they tell us about the human desire and ability to make art? Your answer should be about 100-150
words long. Respond to at least one of your classmates, and answer any questions that I may
ask. Hint: be sure to talk about the actual images and some of the ideas that are included in the
lecture notes. Don't copy other people's work!
