Question

Your friend Kiara says that she is certain that the first piece of art ever created was a sculpture. You disagree. What would you tell Kiara to best support your argument?

Time, natural elements, and other forces have erased most of the early art from the Earth, so we may not ever know for certain what was the first piece of art ever created.


Prehistoric art was produced before writing, so no one created written records of the first pieces ever created.


Scientists have already determined that cave paintings are the oldest pieces of art ever created, so it cannot be a sculpture.


Sculptures were not created until the late 18th century once the technology was available.

Answer 1
