This is very easy, and probably would be found in your lesson! I studied about Prehistorical art ( aka. Paleolithic ) last semester so hopefully i can help you. \(\Large \color{lightblue}{Let's~just~make~sure~we~know~what~Paleolithic~art~is.} \) Prehistoric art is cave paintings, Stonehenge, cupules and more. \(\large \color{green}{DON'T~MIX~PREHISTORICAL~AND~ANCIENT~ART~UP~!} \) ( i added this because it's easy to say Prehistoric and Ancient art are the same because they're both really old, you know? ) \(\large \color{yellowgreen}{Prehistoric~art} \) is more of certain artistic periods rather than movements. \(\large \color{magenta}{Ancient~Art} \) is a product of prehistoric art. It is what comes from the advancement. Both are similar by each of the timings leaning onto each other. // Source Of Paleolithic Art found : http://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/entertainment/paleolithic-art.html // ( The sculptures mentioned below are very important and you'll probably see them on your art exam. ) The Aurignacio-Perigordian (c.14,000–c.13,500 B.C.) includes the powerful Lascaux paintings, the outdoor sculpture at Laussel, and the several small female figurines, known as Venuses, found at several sites. The second period, the Solutreo-Magdalenian (c.14,000–c.9500 B.C.), includes the murals at Rouffignac and Niaux and the ceiling of the cave at Altamira, Spain, the Magdalenian's crowning masterpiece. Both of the great cave complexes were discovered by accident—Altamira in 1879, Lascaux in 1940. \(\Huge \sf\color{purple}{kaylaprincess} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \) \(\Huge {❀} \)
