Answer the following question in 3-4 complete sentences.
A handprint is outlined by dark speckles on a cave wall. The cave wall and the hand are the same color. A black cave drawing of humans and animals created without rounded lines.
The image on the left is an example of cave art from the Upper Paleolithic period. The image on the right is an example from the Neolithic period. Compare and contrast these two examples of cave art.
The handprint with dark speckles on the cave wall is likely from the Upper Paleolithic period, known for its use of natural pigments such as charcoal and ochre. The black cave drawing with angular lines of humans and animals is probably from the Neolithic period, known for more stylized and abstract compositions. While both examples are forms of cave art, they differ in their intricacy and technique, with the Upper Paleolithic art showing more detailed use of shading and the Neolithic art focusing on more simplified and geometric shapes.
