Your friend Kiara says that she is certain that the first piece of art ever created was a sculpture. You disagree. What would you tell Kiara to best support your argument?

(1 point)

Time, natural elements, and other forces have erased most of the early art from the Earth, so we may not ever know for certain what was the first piece of art ever created.

Prehistoric art was produced before writing, so no one created written records of the first pieces ever created

Scientists have already determined that cave paintings are the oldest pieces of art ever created, so it cannot be a sculpture.

Sculptures were not created until the late 18th century once the technology was available.

To best support your argument against Kiara's claim, you could say:

"Time, natural elements, and other forces have erased most of the early art from the Earth, so we may not ever know for certain what was the first piece of art ever created."

This statement highlights the uncertainty surrounding the origins of art and acknowledges that we may not have a definitive answer regarding whether the first piece of art was a sculpture or some other form, like painting.
