ArtCurious is one of my absolute favorite art podcasts. Jennifer Dasal does a deep dive into the research for all her subjects but presents the information that is easy for even me to follow. When I was studying for my exam to become a National Board Certified Teacher, I listened to a lot of ArtCurious to brush up on history I had forgotten and discovered tons of cool stuff I never knew. In fact she even had an entire season dedicated to the coolest artists you've probably never heard of, or maybe during this women's history month, you may be interested in Jennifer's episodes about The Women behind the Art. For today, I wanted to put an episode into the feed on a topic both Jennifer and I have covered. I made a mini episode on cave art in Lascaux, but for those interested in going deeper, please enjoy the ArtCurious episode on Cave Painting Beyond Lascaux.

Show notes: In today’s episode, we’re continuing our exploration of cave paintings, but we’re moving beyond France and Spain to tackle the oldest artworks in the world, found in Indonesia (and is the world’s oldest drawing from South Africa?).
