Creating art inspired by cave paintings
This Art and design video explains how to introduce children to prehistoric art by exploring how early humans used natural materials to create bold animal drawings on cave walls. Learners draw familiar animals using strong outlines and simplified features, emulating the techniques and style of ancient artists.
This video is part of Kapow’s Art and design resources, which support the Cambridge Primary Art & Design Curriculum Framework (0067). It helps teachers feel confident in guiding collaborative composition and creative expression. As part of the Painting and mixed media: Prehistoric painting unit, this lesson inspires learners to create an animal drawing in the style of prehistoric cave paintings.
