yam festival is named after

the most common food. Yam

is a sweet potatoes.

African people have always

had festivals at the time

or the harvest. Homowo

festivals are celebrated of

a tradtional festival. The

Ga people are from Ghana.

Therefore two specific

harvest festivals include

Yam & Homowo.

Most African festivals

is of a religious and has a

lot of dancing and music.

Each dance tells a story.

The stories range from

about the good ghost who

looks after the crops and

scares away the bad ghosts.

Do you like art well if so you will

enjoy viewing African paintings

and learning about their history.

African paintings began back in

the days a while back. How much

do you really like African art?

Have you ever wanted to see

African art it is so beautiful. In

conclusion I think this will be a

great story that I will walk you

through.

Paintings

The predominate art forms are

masks figures which were

generally used in religious

ceremonies. The art of Benin

arose from the needs of royal

court. In this region the style of

woodcarving is abstract. In

conclusion I think that the art is

perfect and needs to stay the

same as it is right now.

Dance

Distortion is often used to

emphasize features of spiritual

signification. There dancing

depends on if they live and if there

is dancing stuff there. It depends

on if they like to dance as their

favorite hobby. In conclusion I

think that the dancing is just fine

and needs to stay the way it is.

Languages

More than 1000 languages were

spoken in Africa. Some types of

languages depend on where they

live at. Some languages depend

on how they say them and stuff

like that. In conclusion I think that

the languages need to stay the

way they are because they seem

to like the languages that they

have right now.

The dancing art in Africa is great the way

it is. The language is just fine the way it

is to. The painting I think is the best

because you can make more designs out

of it. The art in Africa is the best that I

have ever seen.

African Animals

Have you ever thought about

discovering new types of animals? Do

you want to know how animals live in

the wild? There are many types of

dangerous animals in Africa. Have

you wanted to know how animals

grow up? Africa has animals that

have not been seen anywhere else.

African animals are very

different than other animals.

The zebra was born with only

patches of fur on them. The

reason why hyenas smile is

because when they growl they

laugh. Meerkats live all over

Africa and they make their

own land to live in. Some

cougars are trained to protect

humans from other dangerous

species.

Antelope made the African

culture really inspired. The

African culture use to draw

inside of caves of antelopes.

Africans use to be enemies

with the antelope so they

didn’t starve. Africans are

now friends with the antelope

and hunt down other animals.

Some of the antelope have

boundaries lines on their land.

Otters like to help humans in Africa to

make homes. The otter make bridges

to have them crawl or walk across.

Otters make long lines to keep off

other animals. Otters live in holes or

they live in long logs to be safe.

Otters catch their own food and

make piles to live by.
