Imagine making paint from dirt and rocks. That's what the first artists did! They used things like charcoal, red ochre, and ground minerals to create color. When they mixed these with water or oil, they could draw on cave walls or make colorful paintings.
Examples
- A child uses red dirt from the ground and water to paint a picture on a rock.
- You use colored chalk, which is just powdered minerals mixed with wax.
