Art how to make

Stone age people may have deliberately ventured into oxygen-depleted caves to paint while having out-of-body experiences and hallucinations, according to a new study. In the 19th century, researchers discovered a series of decorated caves that date back between 40,000 and 14,000 years — to the Upper Paleolithic era or late Stone Age —  across Western Europe. The caves, found mainly in Spain and France, were filled with wall paintings, many of them in areas that could be accessed only through narrow passageways. The depictions were painted in black and red and primarily showed animals with some hand stencils, handprints and geometric abstract signs. But why would people go through the trouble of walking through narrow cave passages to make art?

So I painted a picture of the Lunenburg harbour on them, and a woman from Ontario stopped in and grabbed them. And I had just finished them about two hours before,” said Wolfe.
