Themes and Methods of African Arts

Dynamic sculptures, textiles, masquerades, assemblages, photography, and architecture made from a variety of materials constitute some of the arts that diverse artists from across West Africa have historically produced. Using a thematic approach, students examine a range of arts linked to the continent and investigate similarities and differences in strategies of artistic production. Students also consider different methods scholars have developed to understand such arts.
