difference between paleolithic and neolithic art
|
Paleolithic art is represented by cave wall drawings and some portable objects that were constructed. Basically this type of art is the oldest and it consisted of cave art and small figurines or decorated objects carved out of bone, stone, or clay.

Neolithic art is represented by structures (such as Stonehenge) and sculptures and human and animal objects carved from rock, wood, bone, leather, ivory, and eggshell.
