“The strength of this program is the art projects and the opportunities for students to use their knowledge to create projects. A good enrichment activity for Native American or aboriginal art units.”
The School Library Journal, April 2001
Create a Rock Art Museum
Once the journey is complete, students work together to create a Rock Art Museum using the images they've collected and writing descriptions based on their field journals and research.

Exploring Rock Art
Travel from the caves of Mexico to the coasts of Alaska and see the mysterious petroglyphs and pictographs left by this continent's first peoples.

Who made these images? What do they mean? How old are they? How were they made? Try to unravel the puzzles at each of the sites.

Research Rock Art
An extensive bibliography and links with internet sites provide additional materials for further study.

You are the Explorer
As you travel to various sites, you record your discoveries in a field journal, "photograph" pictographs and make drawings of petroglyphs.
