Art is an important factor in a shaman’s life. They create art through their trances and life experiences. Shamans were first found in the Paleolithic era, where they spent a lot of time hunting because that was their way of getting food. The shaman would manipulate the animals so that they can take advantage of them. An example from “The Shaman” by Edmund Burke Feldman, explains that the shaman went into a trance using the source of his artistic activity (singing, reciting, drumming, dancing, miming or drawing) to lure the animals in so that they would get close enough to kill. Sometimes they would use masks to lure them in. Afterwards they would paint pictures of angry animal spirits, renewing their bodies, showing respect to their souls,
