Abstract
Art resides at the core of human endeavor. Since the first humans picked up tools, there has been art. We may not know for certain the purposes of the Paleolithic bulls and bison painted in the caves at Altamira, Spain, or Lascaux, France; but we do know that these artworks, dating from 15,000 to 10,000 years B.C., were somehow connected to the lives of ancient people.
