It turns out, artists have been using some of the same techniques for tens of thousands of years.
事实证明，数万年来艺术家们一直在使用同样的技术。
A team of excavators discovered 16 engraved limestone blocks that date back 38,000 years. One depicts a woolly mammoth in pointillist style.
一组发掘者发现16块可追溯至38,000年前的雕刻石灰石块。一幅雕刻中用了点彩派风格描绘一头猛犸象。
In that technique, artists use small dots to create a larger image. The style was adopted by 19th- and 20th-century artists, such as Georges Seurat and Camille Pissarro.
在该技术中，艺术家使用小点来创建一个更大的图像。该风格被19世纪和20世纪的艺术家所使用，例如乔治·修拉和卡米耶·毕沙罗。
But the discovery supports previous findings that people used this style tens of thousands of years before Seurat's "Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."
但发现支持了先前的研究，在修拉创作“在拉·格兰德·加特岛的一个星期天下午”数万年以前，人们就已经使用这种风格。
The same team reported earlier this year it uncovered a pointillist image of an extinct wild cow from the same ancient time period.
同一小组报告，今年早些时候发现了一幅来自同一时期灭绝的野生牛点彩图像。
Similar paintings have also been found in the Chauvet Cave in France, showing even our ancient ancestors knew a thing or two about art.
类似的绘画也已在法国肖维岩洞穴发现，表明我们古老的祖先对艺术也略知一二。
