B). Most cave paintings were based on the hunters, and the animals they went after. The paintings were focused on the animals they prayed on, rather than the people hunting, and this can be seen though the amount of detail in the animals, and the plain stick figure humans. In different areas there were different animals, as well as the seasonal animals, who migrate to different locations, giving the cave dwellers the ability to have information on different animals, and a wide array of animals to hunt. The more detailed the animals were, the easier the animals were to find, rather than the less detailed animals, who came around now and then, but didn't give the dwellers the ability to draw out more elaborately.
C.) The paintings can tell us the cave dwellers were hunters and gathers, though the amount of animals that were painted, and the great detail of them. It also tells us the cave dwellers constantly moved, through the variety of animals they were able to convey into art. The painting on the wall aided future groups coming into the area on the animals that were hunted and what they looked like.
D.) Early cave dwellers painting these elaborate works of art had to deal with tight areas of the cave, where they would've had to crawl on their stomachs to reach areas of the cave to carry their art utensils. Another difficulty would be the light source, because back then, they would have to carry torches to be able to see in the dark cave, especially in the deepest part.
E.) 1. Aid new hunters in the area of the animals that are most commonly hunted, and show what they looked like.
2.To help show stories, and communicate ways of hunting, as well as their tactics to future groups coming through the cave.
3. To allow cave dwellers to express themselves, and communicate without words.
2. The only function of the art from the Lascaux Caves to modern art would be to give insight on a period of time, where everyone wasn't aware of everything, and to give stories of the animals and sights these people were seeing. The cave's art also gave the dwellers the ability to show and communicate their way of life. The art today doesn't show the same views that we have as a result to the evolution of societies, technologies, and the art we share . Their art was natural, and based off of their cultural beliefs and ways of surviving life. This art gives anthropologists the ability to see into their culture and understand it furthermore. Both art periods are diverse, but share the similarity of self expression, which art is supposed to come from. Both art periods give descriptions of the location, the time period, and surroundings, such as animals and humans.
3.A). Those who practice in the form of graffiti art (not just tags), are expressing their inner imaginary and creativity, to give free public art to be admired by all. Graffiti art gives artists the ability to tell a story though painting, of what comes to their minds, sometimes it can mean just one thing, but other times it can mean a whole bunch of things, leaving the person looking at the art to decide what it truly means to them.
B).There is a culture that surrounds this form of art, but doesn't consist of a language or set dress. It does have a set behavior of being secretive, and hiding your identity, because artists who perform this type of art could be subjected to fines, as well as possible arrests from law enforcement. The culture of graffiti art consists of many different artists creating what they believe is necessary, and stick together, even sometimes collaborating on art installations together.
C). This art form benefits society by giving young artists inspiration and direction and how they should create their art forms how they want to, and not follow a set of rules when attempting to make a piece of art. Some might say that some detrimental effects of graffiti art is an increase of crime rate, but that wouldn't be caused by people making and creating art.
