HI1091FB8 Science, Society and Human Origins
AR1010FB8 Intro to Drawing: Visual and Environmental Studio
AR1020 Materials and Techniques of the Masters

HI1091 starts with the notion of a human race and the emergence of modern humans. It鈥檚 currently hypothesized that art was the consequence of the encounter between Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis, which brought about new modes of human interaction. The creation of art, specifically of figurative cave painting, is a hallmark of that transition; the Chauvet Cave is one of the best-preserved painted caves as well as one of the oldest, with sections dating back 37,000 years. Look at the techniques used to decorate the cave, considered as one of the foundational sites of figurative art. The accompanying exhibitions situate Aurignacian culture in its Upper Paleolithic environment and contextualize the society that produced them. Visit an actual cave to understand what it actually meant for an early human to adventure into a deep, dark, narrow space to create such works.
