To make sure our readers get the most out of our book, I will be collecting research of each time period before I produce the pages. I will look into conventions of style and technique (partly to include in the dialogue, and partly to help Katy with communicating the style in her art), as well content of the art of that time, and specific artists to make reference to.
Cave Paintings:-
- Obviously, set on rock backgrounds (red rock is common for African and South American cave art, and paler, greyer rock in European cave art).
- Generally depict great hunts. The relationships between humans and animals.
- Rock Art of the Iberian Mediterranean Basin might be a good reference to use (about 15,000BC).
- Very basic and line/shape based.
- Generally coloured in red or brown.
- Animals are shown in the 'flying gallop' pose, which is typical of the late Palaeolithic. This is a very specific type of running pose that makes the figures look as if they're flying.
All research is collected from sites that will be casually referenced in the 'Useful Links' post.
