Question 4 • {HS} Intro to Art Sem. 2

Which is not true about the Upper Paleolithic period?

Answer
A
People made tools by chipping flint pebbles into blades and scrapers that had sharp edges.
B
Humans and animal forms begin to be seen in art.
C
The period took place between 40,000 and 4,000 BCE.
D
In cave art, Artists used the cave’s irregularities to create images.

Explanation

The Upper Paleolithic is generally dated from about 40,000 to 10,000 BCE, not 4,000 BCE. People made sharp stone tools, art began to show humans and animals, and cave artists used natural rock shapes in their images. Therefore, the statement that the period lasted until 4,000 BCE is not true.
