What role does lighting play in the caves? How might these painting have been used by primitive man? What are the two techniques that the early artists used to paint on the walls of the cave? Why do you think they painted with these images?
The brightness and location of the lights inside the cave changes the way in which the art inside the cave is viewed. If lights can be placed in the correct positions as the ancient times, we would still be able to see the sights early humans enjoyed. The early paintings may have been used to tell stories, including the effects of the flickering lights. The range in which the lamp's light can reach is a vital tool in storytelling using cave art. Early artists used superimposition and sequences to paint on the walls of the cave. Both of these techniques produced animation-like effects by using flickering lights. I believe they painted with these images in order to tell the story in an effective fashion with the resources and technology that was available to them.
