Most art historians agree that the first art is the cave paintings made in places like Lascaux, France. The time frame is from 15,000 to 13,000 B.C. The birth of art occurred in the Upper Paleolithic Period where small carved figures have been found, generally known as 'Venus of Willen"dorf' about 22,000 B.C.
The problem is that much early "art" may be as "decoration" of small items like pottery. There is some evidence that the Aurignacian culture of the Upper Palaeolithic, located in Europe and southwest Asia may have had art objects for small items and cave paintings. It lasted from 45,000 to 35,000 years ago.
The earliest known example of art or design is presently thought to be from a million to 700,000 years old burial site in Java associated with homo erectus. The work consists of a design scratched into the surface of clam shells which were then peirced to be hung as a pendant.
