Difference between tribal art and ROCK PAINTING OF
MESOLITHIC AGE
Answers
Explanation:
MESOLITHIC ART- The term "Mesolithic art" refers to all arts and crafts created between the end of the Paleolithic Ice Age (10,000 BCE) and the beginning of farming, with its cultivation and animal husbandry. The length of this interim "Mesolithic" period varied region by region, according to how long it took for agriculture to become established now that the Ice Age was over. The Mesolithic is the first era of the Holocene epoch, which succeeded the Pleistocene, and it ushered in a new approach to Stone Age art: for example, with the arrival of a warmer climate, cave art starts to disappear as rock art takes to the open air. [Note in passing the Coa Valley Engravings (22,000 BCE), the one major exception to the rule that Paleolithic engravings were only done in caves.] Also, the need for mobiliary art is gradually reduced and domestic crafts become more important.
ROCK PAINTING- First, due to the warmer climate, Mesolithic rock art moves from caves to outdoor sites such as vertical cliffs or sheer faces of natural rock, often protected from the elements by outcroppings or overhangs. These Mesolithic rock paintings have been discovered in numerous locations across Spain, Asia, Africa, Australasia and the Americas. The largest grouping of this ancient art can be found in eastern Spain.
