The cave drawing that I found most interesting was called “The Upside-Down Horse.” I first looked at this drawing because I found the name interesting. As I began to read about this cave drawing I found that parts of the horse appear to be missing, but with a closer look you can see that the structure of the cave fills in the pieces that were not painted. This may cause the horse to appear to be incomplete, but in reality it is a full figure of a horse. In addition, the horse is positioned in a way so that it cannot be fully viewed from a single angle. Instead, you must move around to see parts of the horse at different times.

Cunningham, WR #2

While viewing the Lascaux Caves website, the cave I found most interesting was called "The great Black Bull." Its extra legs in the back almost makes the bull look like it is in motion. They are two exits away from the Hall of Bull, which are the Axial Gallery and the main Passageway. This particular art work is the largest in the Lascaux Cave, which is 17-foot long. The entire bulls body is seen except for the front left hoof. There is a pale back ground, and the bull its self is spray painted using brown and black.

    This is a cave drawing of a bull. It’s called The Great Black Bull because the pigment is mostly black instead of brown. Stretching at 3.71meters long and 1.93 meters high, it is indeed larger than the other surrounding works. Two graphic techniques were used to create this painting. To draw the lines for the back, tail, and horns, a brush was used. The rest of the bull was filled in by the spray technique. The spray technique involves blowing pigment onto the wall to create that soft outline. This technique was the same one use to create the negative hand prints also seen on the walls.

Lyons Writing Assignment #2
    
     Upon looking at all the beautiful cave drawings on the Lascaux Caves website, one drawing in particular stood out to me, The Swimming Stags.  I not only enjoyed The Swimming Stags, but all of the wonderful cave drawings.  I really liked that the Stags were given a sense of motion.  When one is looking at them it really seems as though they are swimming.  I also like how the artist(s) used the different colors of the natural stone, it makes it look like waves of water.  This drawing is found in The Nave section of the cave.  The Nave has many different depictions of animals, including, stags, bison, and horses.  The website says that most of these cave drawings are made using primitive tools and natural pigments, which I think is pretty cool since they have lasted this long.  Overall I really enjoyed this art assignment and I look forward to many more.
