Question

1. Animal paintings were a common form of art and people would paint animals that were

important food sources or serious predators. If you were to create animal paintings today
based on animals that are an important food source or predator to you today, would they
be similar to those painted in the Stone Age or different? Why? Describe what they might
look like.

Answer 1

Answer: No

Humans have much evolved since then, we can grow our own plants, we dont have any predators, etc...

Humans painted on walls for religous purposes, symbolic reasons, and most importantly, to make others remember animals that could hunt them. We don't have any predators in this age, and can distinguish dangerous animals from calmer ones. Paintings were a way to communicate easier. Now, we have translators and can talk to each other without needing to draw on caves.
