The earliest form of art emerged on the rocks inside caves. A legacy of our Pre-historical ancestors who started to paint animals and human images and symbols that are beyond our understanding. Such ancient murals preserve their allure thousands of years later. In this lesson, we will travel 30,000 years back in time and experience the unique experience of rock painting without using paintbrushes.
