The First Artists Prehistoric Art is a term used to describe the artistic depictions of a people who haven't yet implemented writing into their culture. The appearance of written word dates back to the Sumerians (3250 BC) and their use of pictographs, small pictures that tell their story, describe their lives, and record the data they needed to keep track of business details. All of these things allow us a glimpse into history and supply knowledge of times we'd know nothing about without the things they've left behind. paintings enable us to envision the past; they depict daily life, religion, superstition, and magic. Art was believed to be magical; pictures were believed to have special powers. It is said that the artists themselves were seen as spiritual beings, that they were revered, and that their artistic portrayals were capable of keeping a people safe from the forces of nature and angry gods. Some of the artwork that's been found is believed to have been created for the sole purpose of pleasing the gods or asking otherworldly spirits to bless these groups with fertility and successful hunts. Other pictures are believed to be instructional, prehistoric how-to manuals. Here's the deer; here's the heart; this is where you aim the spear. Over the years, archaeologists have studied cave paintings and found that many actually cover earlier artwork, and some have concluded that those paintings, which were never re-worked, had been considered lucky and had been left untouched. On the other hand, many feel that walls that were used over and over again may have been re-worked because the walls themselves were lucky. I guess we'll never know!
