The representational forms of art such as painting, drawing, sculpture, stenciling, ceramics etc were introduced about 17000 years ago.

Materials used by early humans to make art.

Perforated shells, stone tools, etched rocks and minerals were the materials used by early humans to make their arts. Most of the evidence of ancient arts are found in Australia which is estimated to be built about 75000 years ago.

 Why were art and music created?

This led them to create music which was later considered a form of art.

What was the first art created?

The spray-painted graffiti is the oldest of all arts in the world till known today. Recently some research studies claimed that human beings created the outlines of their hands as the first form of art in ancient days. About 60 years ago, archaeologists unearthed the paintings of Sulawashi . It was discovered in the 100 limestone cave covering the island.

Cave culture

The cave paintings on the walls started with the images of bulls, cows, stags, deer, lions, tigers, buffalos drawn with sharp stones by humans. These were first found in Lascaux, France. Handmade stencils were also discovered later on. Though Europe is the main home to cave art, many caves of Indonesia too house lots of prehistoric paintings. In 1950, the cave paintings of Indonesia were first discovered in the caves of the island of Sulawesi. The paintings consisted of replication of mammals; a midget water buffalo, a warty pig, and a  pig-deer. Like Lascaux, there were also handmade stencils present in the Sulawashi.

Artistic beginning.

The age of a painting is calculated from the date of the lumpy deposit of materials on the painting formed overages. A very small quantity of uranium deposits is detected in these lumps of minerals. Being an unstable radioactive element, uranium decays into thorium. If the rate of decay of Uranium into thorium is estimated and we calculate the ratio of uranium to thorium in the materials deposited on the paintings, we can date the exact time when the painting was created. Human beings were first known to appear in Africa before they headed towards Asia and Europe. Thus they carried their traditions with them. This means the culture of art was invented much before we earlier used to think.
