Painting the Past: Ancient Art

desert with joshua trees.
Acton
On-Campus
, 1.5 Hours
6th-12th

Students will engage in the ancient art of cave painting, using their fingers to create designs on a rock surface.

What’s Covered

Students will learn about the historical significance and purposes of cave paintings, such as storytelling and communication. Inspired by street art, students will have the opportunity to “paint” on a reusable surface, allowing them to create paint over, and re-create their masterpieces as often as they like. After completing their work, they’ll get a photo in front of their artwork, making this hands-on activity both educational and fun!

What People Are Saying

I loved my experience at Pali. In my time as an instructor, I was able to develop many skills in the classroom as a teacher and as a leader. I would highly recommend this position for anyone who would like to start a career in the Outdoor Education Industry.

Thank you so much for an incredible week. The kids are jazzed; parents are more jazzed. Your team is incredible, and the planning and execution for a top notch science/outdoor education/leadership camp is celebrated. We are so glad we found you.

Danielle V., Teacher

Impressive! This is our first time to Pali. I have taken students to four other SoCal science camps and I would highly recommend Pali and plan to return next year.
