EARLY HUMANS AND ANIMATED ART

What role does lighting play in the caves?  

How might these painting have been used by primitive man?  

What are the two techniques that the early artists used to paint on the walls of the cave?  Why do you think they painted with these images?

             The role that lighting played in the caves of the lost civilizations is to tell a story. In what ways we really can't call it maybe it could of actually been a drawing of the last story told. If you think about how many actual drawings where found it leaves a whole lot of room to wonder. I find myself curious of what the story exactly was and how was it told. Again, thoughts cross my mind questioning who got to tell the story and why. Will there ever be a invention that could explain this purpose?  There were two techniques that where similar to that of a Paleolithic artist. Those techniques that the author refers to  is superimposition and juxtaposition. In the end of the article the author explains his theory  for the cave paintings by firelight. He writes about how the drawings may have been used for the prayer of a hunt. In hope the warrior will be successful.  Then he also states that they may be related to specific events. He also mentions that it was an attempt to express the reaction of an environment.  Personally I have my own logic of the purpose that I haven't herd no one speak about. In some way I actually know that the pictures drawn where not the only pictures ever put on the cave walls. There had to be a way they would wipe it off. If you think about it from a artist mind frame there would be drawings all over by all the people.  If the people who drew the symbols there to have some one justify the meaning of there art. There would have been a lot more to be defined. I actually think that a Man would take a young hunter on a journey to frighten him. Depending on exactly what the young hunter showed his elder would be the answer to allowing him to hunt with the men. I always had this vision in my head of the bonding of the people who lived back then. This is one of those spiritual enlightenment made for a warrior. The fire light would show the exact movement of the animal and the darkness would be used to blind the young warrior. The echos of the cave would be used to enhance the sound of the kill. So that he will be ready for all situations possible when you hunt. Like a fighting style almost. I one day will hopefully publish a book about the story I see in my vision of the cave drawings. Very good article it put me in a place that is at peace.
