Paleolithic - Cave Art Debate

Working in pairs, you will analyze 1-3 pieces of cave art from http://www.smithsonianmag.com/travel/prehistoric-rock-art-visit-around-world-180952989/
Questions you may ask yourself as you try to analyze (to pick apart piece by piece until you reveal meaning) each artifact are below:

What is the artifact? (What do you see?)

What is the artifact made of?  What do those materials suggest about the lives of the early humans who created it?

What is the subject matter of the artifact? What does that subject matter suggest about the lives of the early humans who created it?

What is the style of the artifact?  What does that style suggest about the lives of early humans?

In totality, what does the artifact tell us about life for the early humans who created it?
