The Evolutionary Step In Communication


            The earliest forms of art were naturalistic, or in other words, a "cave man-, an upper Paleolithic Homeo Sapien- Sapien, found an existing shape in his " sacred space-, saw the similarities between that and of an animal, like a bison, and decided to trace around it in ochre. Hence the recognition of a shape and the literal transformation of something real into a picture to convey a message to the collective.
             After this, the identification, the idea of making an image evolved to something more of a document. For example, later cave paintings are not of the naturalistic form, but rather formalized animal drawings (Cooke, 15). Rather than seeing a pre-existing form, man is creating from his imagination, not literally creating something, but the idea being lent from the indigenous animals of the region, of course not limited to animals, but primarily concentrated on (Coke, 105). Showing us that man was trying, or was indeed, comunicating through the use of images.
             I know I am leaving out other steps in the evolution of this idea, but it is clearly too broad of an investigation, if I were to go in that direction. None of my instances are to be examined in one place. They are a collective evaluation of the start of communication and how the man who gave birth to this idea of an image, interprets it as a phenomena of some greater deity. .
             The very first cave paintings represent the first existence of the modern day man, in terms of thinking (Bataille, 12). The homeo- sapiean- sapiean was very similar to the modern day man. In the upper Paleolithic time period, man lived in an unconscious state, but was not with out understanding, he perceived his environment in a nave manner (Lommel, 12). When creating something as revolutionary such as a representation of something in reality, he feels a vigor and freshness. Meaning, this new idea of drawing, is subject to interpretation. The interpretation of use and the interpretation of its creation.
