The picture above is from chapter one and is called "Hall of Bulls". It dates back to 15,000 BCE and is in the Lascaux cave in France. When I see this artwork I instantly see a story being told. An artist was trying to get some point across, what we can take from this picture is we knew the animals that were present in 15,000 BCE- bulls, cows, horses, and deer. Very similar to the "Hall of Bulls", but in present day, is graffiti. "Vandalizing" of public walls with art is what graffiti and "Hall of Bulls" is. I personally think it's too bad that the people doing graffiti all over city bridges, signs, buildings, etc- aren't experimenting, doing/working with different art techniques because I think they really have skill and talent with what they do, but if they stuck to a legal technique (rather than vandalizing their art all over the place) then they would be more successful.
