Best Answer

they painted what they saw like animals and each other

In the past, they painted in caves to show what they needed, or what they hoped for. They mainly painted before a hunt, to 'show' their gods what, as I already wrote, they hoped that would happen. The pictures that were found were mainly about people killing animals, their hand-prints or paintings of themselves.

People painted in caves to leave a story behind and they used it as a a record. They had to use berries and other things to use as paint because they did not have paper and writing utensils it was the only way to leave behind a story.
