It is stated on the site we read “There are some 6,000 representations of animals at Lascaux. Images of horses are by far the most numerous, followed by equal numbers of stags and aurochs, and then by ibexes and bison. The few representations of carnivores, such as bears and felines, are found in the furthest corners of the cave – a characteristic shared with other sites. Carnivores keep a very low profile in the real world, and this is also true in the cave. Sanctuaries in which a human figure appears more than once are rare indeed, and Lascaux is no exception. It contains one single image of a anthropomorphic figure, in the Shaft Scene. More frequently, the graphic rendering of the human figure is limited to one anatomical segment: negative or positive hand images and representations of the female – and much less often, the male – sex. Human images can also take on a cryptic aspect, with the substitution of animal parts for human ones, including horns, antlers, hooves, bird heads, and so on.
There are two types of signs. The first are simple shapes (dots, lines, streaks, etc.) and the second are more elaborate signs that are only found at a few sites (branching signs, quadrangular or pentagonal shapes, and so on)”. So they paint these paintings as a story line. And with time we see how the drawings progress and tell such different stories. They used the stone, minerals, and they built things like holders in such to hold the paint and used long sticks so that they can get the paint on a tool in order to make the drawing on the rock, it is stated in the text. Over the years they went to these caves for shelter and really made it a hone and they did what they can and what they had to do in order to survive they used all these materials to tell story and pace there knowledge that they had on to further generations. The two dominant forms of expression in Palaeolithic parietal art, drawing and engraving, occupy an important place in cave and shelter iconography. Nevertheless, there is another technique, which is seen far less often in these contexts, which took on monumental proportions at Lascaux. It is painting, a pictorial form that is only found in France at Font-DE-Gaume and in a few isolated spots in caves in the Pyrenees, notably in Porter. What is most captivating is the simplicity of the techniques and the material means used, given the excellence of the works. A few flints, some blocks of pigment, grinding stones, a few brushes and swabs, and stencils cut from hides – although most often the human hand was used for this purpose. This is the sum total of the materials and tools needed for the graphic construction of the sanctuary. Research carried out in Ariège in the Niaux cave has revealed that the pigments were generally mixed with talc to economies on the rarer colorants. In the region of Lascaux, pigment was in abundant supply and needed no additive, with the exception of water that was used as a binder. The dating of the parietal figures in the Chauvinist-Pont-d’Arc cave shows that engraving and drawing were perfectly mastered as of 30,000 years BCE. Spray painting, modeling and sculpture appeared somewhat later in an underground context, as far as we currently know.” I really think that its complex for them to know what to make and how to make things in order for them to make these paintings , how to paint and to put it all together such a long time ago, I wonder if they knew that it would last on there for so long, that we can study it now today? Its really cool and actually unbelievable that its still there in great condition for us to see. Palaeolithic artists were faced with the difficulty of representing three-dimensional space. The rendering of relief supposes that the artist has an exact idea of the procedures that will allow him or her to recreate the illusion of depth.
The creation of depth is done on several different levels. We find it in the smallest anatomical details, in the grasp of the subject as a whole, and also in the distribution, within the same surface, of different animal subjects that are part of a panel's composition Meaning that it was such a rare space and it was a rock wall so it was hard to make the painting stick and get the painting on there. Again this is fascinating that they were able to do this, it makes u wonder the inelegance that they had. Over all this time, its look to have studied this and see how far they have come along, especially in this day and age.

Over the years how we have studied or heard from or even seen is that art was there with people in various forms not just as in paintings throughout time as it has gone by. For example: We see it in beads fabric...etc, we see it all over throughout all different times. And it seems to advance with time, so even if people struggled the time before, there was knowledge left behind so that they were able to advance. And we see this even within the caves, how they started out in the paintings and evolved withing time throughout the cave. But not only in the drawing but the tools that they used to, we as well see this in today art. Theirs so much that one can do and explore.

The sky keeps the viewer's eyes moving about the painting, following the curves and creating a visual dot to dot with the stars. This movement keeps the onlooker involved in the painting while the other factors take hold. We are not sure of the religious inspiration is true, yet it is known that the piece is not the only Starry Sky painting that Van Gogh ever created. Gogh was quite proud of a piece he had painted earlier in Arles in 1888 that depicted stars reflecting in the Rhone River. Like Starry Sky this previous piece shares many of the qualities that have made Starry Sky such a popular painting. We see that he really devoted such time and dedication to this piece of art work, it has such mixtures of different qaulties that we see. Its such a great piece I love it. With all its different colors, I especially love the stars and the movement of the picture that he really captures so well. This was introduced to me at such a young age, I cant ever forget it I think the website said it the best Never the less these three paintings have astounded millions of people and remain three of the best works ever to flow from Van Gogh's paint brush. Each Day hundreds of people crowd around the original paintings located in various art museums to offer their own personal interpretation as to the meaning of the pieces. Although we may never know how Vincent himself truly felt about these paintings, mankind still embraces their greatness.

Over all we see that paintings and other art forms have really evolved today, especially now since we are such a techno logic society. I love the old school art were artist really put there feel, heart and soul into the paintings. You see there dedication and such passion that they have had to put into the art. Its so neat.
