Review

and share insights about the pictures presented.
In recalling the previous lesson, ask the following questions to
the pupils:
a. What is art?
b. What is an example of art?
c. What have you learned from our previous lesson?
B. Motivation
1
The class will be divided into two groups, with each group being
instructed to dramatize or portray the prehistoric people's daily lives
and arts. The pupils will have 5 minutes to prepare before presenting
to the class. After each group performance, the students will be asked
the following questions.
What do you think is our topic for today?
When you hear the word "prehistoric," what comes to mind
first?
What have you learned from the activity?
What are your thoughts on how the arts of prehistoric people
relate to their daily lives?
C. Activity
The students are told to go back to their groups for a new series of
activities. Each group will be given a puzzle by the teacher. The
puzzles then represent the pieces of paleolithic art. The students are
given a time limit to connect and form the puzzles. Afterwards, they
must then organize the jumbled words, which is the name of the
artwork, when they have completed the challenge. The game is won
by the first group to complete the task.
After that, have the kids describe and define art of each picture in
their own words. Guide them in formulating ideas through these
following questions.
What do you observe in the picture?
What do you think the pictures is all about?
In your own words, describe or define the art of prehistoric
era based on the pictures given to each group.
D. Analysis
The pupils will watch a video presentation. After that, ask the
following questions.
a. Based on the video, what is Paleolithic Era?
b. What is art on Paleolithic Era?
c. What are the forms of Paleolithic Era?
d. What do you call to the people on the Pre-historic Era?
e. What is the importance of the paleolithic art to the modern
world?
E. Abstraction
The teacher will guide the pupil’s in forming generalizations or basic
understanding like the following.

a. Paleolithic is a word that comes from the two Greek words
palaios, meaning old, and lithos, meaning stone.
b. Humans hunted wild animals for meat and gathered food,
firewood, materials for their tools, clothes, and shelters
commonly called as hunters and gatherer people.
c. Paleolithic art concerned itself with thanksgiving, hunting
scenes, animal carvings, and human figures.
d. The two main forms of paleolithic art are; portable and
stationary art.
e. Prehistoric art is important because it provides insight into
the evolution of human thought and behavior.
f. The abundance of prehistoric art, the majority of which
contains important information that can be used to solve
mysteries about early humans. It serves as proof of human
aesthetic thinking.
g. Art and ways of life have progressed via evolution since
prehistoric times, and it serves as a foundation for modern
art, which continues to evolve and alter in response to the
world.
F. Application
Based on the topic, the pupils will draw or illustrate prehistoric arts
that are either imitated or based on cave paintings, stone or wall
drawings, or prehistoric sculptures. Allow them to express
themselves via their creativity in their own unique ways. Following
that, the pupils will showcase their artwork to the rest of the class in a
"show and tell" activity. Each student is given time to present their
artwork and tell a story about it.

V. Assignment
A. Make a collage that expresses your appreciation for prehistoric and

images out of books or print them out from the internet and paste them on
a 1/4 illustration board. This will be passed on at the next meeting. Work
neatly and artistically.
B. Online task: Visit the online learning site [Link], or simply copy
the link [Link] and then play the word
search game that I created. The words in the word game are all related to
our topic for today. As a result, you must be familiar with them and study
them prior to playing the game.
