Welcome to Season 1, Episode 1 of You, Me and Art, where we’re diving into Content Area 1: Global Prehistory!

In this episode, we go all the way back—to the origins of human creativity—exploring prehistoric art from 30,000 to 500 BCE. From cave paintings deep within sites like Lascaux Caves to small but powerful sculptures like the Ambum Stone, we look at how early humans used visual expression to understand their world.

Why did people paint animals on cave walls? What did these objects mean to the societies that made them? And how do we even begin to interpret images from a time before written language?

This episode breaks down key works, materials, and ideas from prehistoric art, connecting them to the major themes you’ll see throughout AP Art History.
