Long ago, humans painted pictures on rocks. These were the first paintings, and they helped people talk without words. Imagine you’re in a cave with your friends, you draw a picture of a deer to show that you saw one outside. It’s like using a picture language, and it made sharing ideas easier and more fun.
Examples
- Drawing a fish on a cave wall told others where to go fishing.
- Painting a circle meant it was time for a dance or celebration.
- A group of people could look at the same painting and understand the story together.
