AFRICAN ART HISTORY Name_____________________________________________ Period_____
Directions: You will be taking a trip through African Art. You will need to read the description and
answer the questions. After, there will be an art assignment where you will need to draw your own
African mask using the reference images provided.
African Art Africa is a large and diverse continent. Its history is filled with the rise and fall of numerous civilizations and empires. As a result, the art of Ancient Africa is varied and diverse. However, there are some common themes throughout much of African art that we will discuss on this page. Regions Ancient African art can be somewhat divided into regions. The art of northern Africa was heavily influenced by the Arabs after the Islam conquest. Similarly, the art of Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa was influenced by Europe and Christianity. There is also the well preserved art of Ancient Egypt found in temples and burial chambers. However, what most people think of today as African art is the art produced by the peoples living south of the Sahara Desert. Materials The art of Ancient Africa was produced using a wide variety of materials. Unfortunately, a lot of African art was produced using wood, which has since been destroyed by time and the elements. Other materials, such as metals (like bronze and iron), ceramics, and ivory have survived. Three Dimensions One of the main elements of African art is that it is often created in three-dimensions rather than two-dimensions. For example, they used sculpture more often than flat paintings. Here are some of the primary types of art used in Ancient Africa. Sculpture - Sculpture was one of the most important types of art in Ancient Africa. Sculptures were mostly made of people and sometimes animals. African artists often used wood for their sculpture, but they also used bronze, terracotta, and ivory. Masks - Masks were an important part of art. They were often used together with dance to create a type of
performance art. Masks were generally made of wood, but were often decorated with ivory, gems, paint, and animal fur. Jewelry- Many Ancient African civilizations created jewelry from gold, gems, shells, and other materials. Jewelry was an important part of showing one's status and wealth. Pottery - Ceramics were used for everyday items like bowls and cooking pots. However, some ceramics were works of art that were shaped and painted with fine details. Human Form One of the main themes in the art of Ancient Africa is the human form. The primary subject in the majority of the art is people. Sometimes people were shown with animals or as part animal, part person. Many times the representation of people wasn't natural, but was more abstract with certain features exaggerated while others were entirely left out.

Polynesian/Oceanic Culture
Polynesia is a group of islands located within the Polynesian Triangle, on the continent of Oceania.
Polynesia is one among three major cultural areas in the Pacific Ocean, aside from Micronesia and
Melanesia. Polynesian/Oceanic Art
The most famous Polynesian art forms are the Moai (statues) of Rapa Nui/Easter Island. Polynesian
art is characteristically ornate, and often meant to contain supernatural power or mana. Polynesian works of art were thought to contain spiritual power and could affect change in the
world.
Easter Island
The Moai are monolithic statues, their minimalist style related to forms found throughout Polynesia. Moai are carved in relatively flat planes, the faces bearing proud but enigmatic
expressions. The human figures would be outlined in the rock wall first, then chipped away until only
the image was left. Wood Carving
