“Cave
Art”
I
found this assignment to be very messy. I used dirt from my backyard with a
stick as my paintbrush, or I used my hand or my fingers. The medium I used was
olive oil and honey. I used a cardboard box as I could not find any rocks big
enough to paint on at my apartment and as we are not allowed to “graffiti” on
the walls where I reside I thought it to be best to use a cardboard box. I hope
this is okay. I made a handprint for myself and six thumbprints to represent my
children. I also drew a stick person and 6 little stick people for the same
reason. I tried to draw a house but that did not go well, and I drew a heart to
show the love we have in our family. I also drew, or attempted to draw our two
ferret pets at the bottom to show we have a love for pets as they are also a
part of our family. I can see why cave painting must have been hard as mud is
not very useful as a paint as it clumps and has small rock bits in it as well.
Plus the color isn’t very attractive. This assignment was messy but fun. Thank
you!
