Firsts Under The Sun! Who was the First Artist? With artist Rob Ryan. What was the First Sport? What was the First Musical Instrument?

Hello! It’s episode 39 of Everything Under the Sun and were talking about FIRSTS! The First Artists, the First Sports and the First musical instruments!  The first question is from Emily, who lives in South Africa, she would like to know who was the first artist? To answer Emily’s question I have a one of my favourite artists, the whimsical wonderful Rob Ryan,whose work you have to check out at robryanstudio.com. He has a lovely answer, which I hope will inspire you all to make some art!    Next Scarlet asks what was the first sport? We discover paintings of sport in caves created17,000 years ago, and find out why everyone was naked at the first Olympics in Greece.   Thirdly, Lucas would like to know which country made the first musical instrument?  Find out about 42,000 year-old flutes made of swan bones, singing in caves and the oldest drum ever found!  Make sure to subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode! And do leave a review if you like the show, wherever you listen, it would be GREAT if you do! Thank you. A huge thank you the wonderful Rob Ryan for talking to us about the first artists and of course a big thank you to Lucas, Scarlett and Emily for this week’s questions!   I’ll be back next week answering more questions from children around the world in another episode of EUTS.  Do send in your questions, there’s info about how to do that on the show’s website, everythingunderthesun.co.uk.  Links - Rob Ryan: www.robryanstudio.com Rob’s instagram: @robryantown EUTS: www.everythingunderthesun.co.uk Insta: @mollyoldfieldwrites Twitter: @mollyoldfield Facebook: molly oldfield writer Thank you, have a lovely week making art, doing some sport and listening or playing lovely music!
