The Stone Age art illustrates early human creativity through small portable objects, cave paintings, and early sculpture and architecture.

The Stone Age lasted from 30,000 BC to about 3,000 BC, and is named after the main technological tool developed at that time. It ended with the advent of the Bronze Age and Iron Age.

The Stone Age is divided in three distinct periods: the Paleolithic
Period or Old Stone Age (30,000 BC – 10,000 BC), the Mesolithic Period or Middle Stone Age (10,000 BC –
8,000 BC), and the Neolithic Period or New Stone Age (8,000 BC –
3,000 BC).

The art of the Stone Age represents the first accomplishments in human creativity, preceding the invention of writing.

Art of this period illustrates and responds to the daily activities and evolution of early communities, from nomad hunters and gatherers to sedentary agrarian societies in need of permanent shelters.

The Stone Age is the first of the three-age system of archaeology, which divides human technological prehistory into three periods: the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. The Stone Age lasted roughly 3.4 million years, from 30,000 BC to about 3,000 BC, and ended with the advent of metalworking.

The Stone Age has been divided in three distinct periods:
Paleolithic Period or Old Stone Age (30,000 BC – 10,000 BC)
Mesolithic Period or Middle Stone Age (10,000 BC – 8,000 BC)
Neolithic Period or New Stone Age (8,000 BC – 3,000 BC)

The art of the Stone Age represents the first accomplishments in human creativity, preceding the invention of writing. While numerous artifacts still exist today, the lack of writing systems from this era greatly limits our understanding of prehistoric art and culture.

The art of the Stone Age: Paleolithic
The very earliest human artifacts showing evidence of workmanship with an artistic purpose are the subject of some debate, but it is clear that such workmanship existed by 40,000 years ago. By 20,000 BC human settlements of hunters and gatherers were present all over the world, except for in Antarctica.

The art of the Stone Age: Paleolithic
The earliest settlements occurred in Africa, where rock paintings and engravings represented the oldest form of art found in this continent. Depictions of highly stylized human figures and richly colored animals were used for magical purposes in order to ensure a successful hunt.

The art of the Stone Age: Mesolithic
From the Paleolithic through the Mesolithic, cave paintings and portable art such as figurines,
statuettes, and beads predominated, with decorative
figured workings also seen on some utilitarian objects.

The art of the Stone Age: Mesolithic
Venus figurines—an umbrella term for a number of prehistoric female statuettes portrayed with similar physical attributes—were very
popular at the time. These figurines were carved from soft stone (such as steatite, calcite, or limestone),
bone or ivory, or formed of clay and fired.

The art of the Stone Age: Mesolithic
The latter are among the oldest ceramics known. Also in this period,
personal accessories and adornments were made from shell
and bone. All the examples mentioned above fall under the
category of portable art: small for easy transport.

The art of the Stone Age: Mesolithic
Archeological discoveries across a broad swath of Europe (especially
Southern France, like those at Lascaux ; Northern Spain; and
Swabia, in Germany) include over two hundred caves with spectacular paintings, drawings, and sculptures
that are among the earliest undisputed examples of
representational image-making.

The art of the Stone Age: Mesolithic
Paintings and engravings along the caves' walls and ceilings fall under the category of parietal art.

The Art of the Stone Age: Neolithic
The Neolithic saw the transformation of nomad human
settlements into agrarian societies in need of permanent shelter. From
this period there is evidence of early pottery, as well as sculpture, architecture, and the construction of megaliths. Early rock art also first appeared in the Neolithic.

The End of the Stone
Age

The advent of metalworking in the Bronze Age brought additional
media available for use in making art, an increase in stylistic
diversity, and the creation of objects that did not have any
obvious function other than art. It also saw the development in some areas of artisans, a class of people
specializing in the production of art, as well as in early writing systems.

By the Iron Age, civilizations with writing had arisen from
Ancient Egypt to Ancient China.
