Art Through Literature: The Visual Story traces the beginning of written language and art. Could one exist without the other? The 35,000-year-old drawings and paintings of Chauvet Cave are studied as the beginning of the visual story, followed by Egyptian hieroglyphics from The Book of the Dead. Full color photographs of the art illustrate the reading selections. Kipling’s How the First Letter Was Written,a humorous tale of Taffy, a young Neolithic girl who writes the first letter which has disastrous results for the poor Stranger-man who delivers it, is included.
