Drawing (do not mix it with painting) is a particular type of visual art, stemming back to prehistoric times with their rock and cave drawings.

This cave drawing found in Norway dates back more than 4000 years, and probably would have been older, except people didn't know how to draw back then.

It was less than 100, 000 years ago that our human predecessors first made meaningful marks on surfaces, notating the phases of the moon or drawing animals on cave walls.
