LASCAUX CAVES

Our first unit was about the Lascaux Caves and the awesome cave painting inside.  Back in the early 40's four teenage boys and one dog accidentally literally stumbled upon the cave.  After crawling inside they went home telling everyone of the beautiful paintings inside.  The rest is history.  So my students' first assignment was to collaboratively create a poster about the four boys.  This was the perfect time to introduce the basics of portraiture.  The pictures were done in pencil so that they could easily make corrections.  Color pencils were added if they had time.  All the students did a great job.  Below I have uploaded a few examples for you to view.
