"Cueva de las Manos (Spanish for Cave of the Hands) is a cave or a series of caves located in the province of Santa Cruz,Argentina, 163 km (101 mi) south of the town of Perito Moreno. It is famous (and gets its name) for the paintings of hands. The art in the cave dates from 13,000 to 9,000 years ago.[1] Several waves of people occupied the cave, and early artwork has been carbon-dated to ca. 9300 BP.[1] The age of the paintings was calculated from the remains of bone-made pipes used for spraying the paint on the wall of the cave to create silhouettes of hands." -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cueva_de_las_Manos
ART 1:
We will be creating our own "Cave of the Hands" for our classroom door. Each student's hand will be represented on the "Welcome to the Art Cave" door hanging.
Once your hand has been painted, you will be creating a drawing in the "cave painting / carving" style. You must depict a scene from your daily life. You may not use words or thought bubbles. The point is to communicate with others through your images. You will be using a black crayon for these drawings.
ART 2-4:
You will need to have your sketch and proposal together by the end of the period. This proposal is for your first major project. The project title is "Symbolism". You may choose any imagery to tell a story or make a statement. You need to choose non-traditional materials to enhance the projects meaning. The item incorporated needs to be a "symbol" for a deeper meaning.
