Year 3 Get Creative with Cave Art!

Date: 19th Sep 2025 @ 4:40pm

As part of our Art topic 'Cave Art', we’ve been learning all about how people used to create art thousands of years ago during the Stone Age. We looked at caves from around the world and chatted about how cave art is similar and different to the art we make today.

We also thought about how tricky it must have been to draw on bumpy, rocky walls, and how that would affect the pictures. In class, we had a go at shading using a value scale, to see how the pressure we use can change how dark or light the colour looks.

Then came the best part! We headed outside to the playground and created our own cave art-style drawings! We focused on things that are important to us, just like people did in the past.

We had so much fun being artists and learning at the same time!
