I am. I am here.

 Does this remind you of your hand print? How is this similar to the cave art in Lascaux? What story does your hand print tell about you? What can we learn about the art from Lascaux? What can we learn about your hand print? What does story might this photograph tell? Remember the who, what, where and why.

Some questions to consider:

 

Who is an Artist?

 

What kinds of Artists are there?

 

Cave paintings - Lascaux - Do you know this story of this discovery (How)? Where is this? When was this discovery was made?
