Paragraph5： In Southwest France in the 1940's, playing children discovered Lascaux Grotto, a ries of narrow cave chambers that contain huge prehistoric paintings of animals. Many of these asts are as large as 16 feet (almost 5 meters). Some follow each other in solemn parades, but other swirl about, sideways and upside down. The animals are bulls, wild horses, reindeer, bison, d mammoths outlined with charcoal and painted mostly in reds, yellow, and browns. Scientific rlysis reveals that the colors were derived from ocher and other iron oxides ground into a fine powder. Methods of applying color varied: some colors were brushed or smeared on rock surfaces and other were blown or sprayed.It is possible that tubes made from animal bones were used for spraying because hollow bones,some stained with pigment,have been found nearby.
