Field Journal 1

By browsing through the book and looking at the pictures and notes, I could see that the history of graphic design began with cave painting and rock drawing.

There are a lot of cave and rock paintings in different parts of the world, which shows that graphic depictions have a very long history, ex. Cave painting from Lascaux, c. 15,000-10,000 b.c.
