Is Primitive Art, art?

The people of the Paleolithic Era put a great deal of exertion towards their portrayals of their human existence. This is why I think that the cave drawings during the Paleolithic period are an important part of our art history. The larger bull’s outline and detail provides a possible insight to the motive behind the painting. While it may not be possible to understand every entity of their existence, we can try to understand how their world made sense to them. In my opinion, portraying a culture at the time of its existence is an important aspect in the history of art. To me it takes some ingenuity to create paint from these products. a, the painting of the bulls brings an understanding to today’s society. More often, they created pigments by grinding minerals and mixing them with animal fat, vegetable oil, or bone marrow. It was said in the text they often used different colored mineral chunks or earth materials and applied them directly to the wall for drawing.

The artists of this time discovered in their own means the effectiveness of colors and how to concoct them. Today we just go to the local craft store and get the colors we desire and a canvas to paint on. How would they know what would work? These people were true artists in my opinion. Is it a target area? Like our text points out the images painted show the artists sensitivity to the anatomy and liveliness of these wild animals.
