Let's talk African Art

  African arts typically describes art from the sub Saharan Africa region. African arts can be made of wood, ivory, animal hide, cowrie, raffia(plant fibre) and a host of other stuff.

  African arts are usually very expressive and are inclusive of African culture to give a layperson an understanding of the continent's cultural diversity.

   Did you know? At the start of the twentieth century,        
artists like Picasso , Matisse , Vincent van
Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Modigliani
became aware of, and inspired by, African
art.
