The earliest form of art that has been found is cave art. It is found on the walls of caves around the world from Europe and Asia to Africa and Australia.Cave art consists of pictures, mostly of the animals hunted by early man. The first pictures were probably drawn with charcoal. Later, clay, lime and charcoal were ground into a powder, and mixed with water or animal fats. So, the pictures became more colourful and life-like. Early artists made brushes with animal fur, feathers, twings, and moss. Sometimes they used just their hands to draw the pictures.Cave art represents one of the first attempts of man to communicate by means other than speech, and is therefore, an important milestone in human development
