DraftCave Art & the 7 Elements
Watch one cave bison come together one element at a time: line, shape, color, value, form, texture, and space. Find out why cave artists leaned so heavily on line, place their four pigments on the color wheel, then paint your own cave wall.
For teachers
Pairs with The First Paintings (Module 1), which covers the timeline and materials; this one teaches the seven elements through the same cave art, and ties the cave palette (red/yellow ochre, charcoal, chalk) to the color wheel. Three levels at the top (Explore, Core, Challenge), Listen buttons, and a Spanish glossary. The Chapter 5 wall is a quick digital sketch; the worksheet is the real-materials follow-up. Answer key is under Teacher → Answer keys. Facts to double-check before presenting: Niaux charcoal-then-paint sketching, Chauvet charcoal smudging and overlapping horses, and the claim that blue/green pigments were not used in known cave art.
