Stonehenge is a huge man-made circle of standing stones. Built by our ancestors over many hundreds of years, it’s one of the world’s most famous prehistoric monuments… And one of it’s biggest mysteries, too!

Work started on this super stone circle around 5,000 years ago in the late Neolithic Age – but it took over 1,000 years to build, in four long stages! Archaeologists believe the final changes were made around 1,500BC, in the early Bronze Age.

Art material: Paper, color pencil, markers, crayons, tempera, water color, collage

Intro: Stone Age Beliefs

The early humans develop religious beliefs to explain the world around them. Gatherers and Hunters tried to contact the spirit of the animals that they hunted. When they became aware of the changing seasons, they started making up stories regarding the thunderstorms and sunrise. They even started worshiping the forces of nature. It is believed that the earliest masks were used in Africa before Paleolithic era. They represent spirits of animals or ancestors, mythological heroes, moral values or a form of honoring of a person in a symbolic way. Masks have been made for thousands of years from all kinds of materials and for many different uses. Some are religious, or represent nature and tribal ancestors. Dancers wear masks in ceremonies to bring rain or chase away evil or sickness.

Lesson plan 7

Art idea: Ancestors look like…..

Due date: 13.5.2020- Wednesday

Art elements: line, shape, color

Art material: Paper, color pencil, markers, crayons

Intro:

The definition of an ancestor is a person or creature from whom one is descended or who lived in the past, or a person who came before.

What did humans look like in the Stone Age?

They were shorter than today. A woman's average height was 154 cm and a man's 166 cm. On average people lived to the age of 35, and were more well built than today. Compared to modern humans, Stone Age humans and human ancestors may have been primitive—but they were far more sophisticated than the grunting cavemen often depicted on screen. In fact, early humans were ingenious problem-solvers who managed to survive and thrive in hostile environments.

Lesson plan:

Step 1: Travel back in time

What did early humans look like, what did they wear and how did they communicate?

Draw the look of yours ancestor!

Pay attention to details. Hair, long, short ... had something in her hair, decoration ... The clothes are made of what? For which weather conditions are appropriate? Do they wear shoes?

Use the whole paper!

Step 2: Color process
