INTRODUCTION

The African art history goes
back to decades ago, with the
earliest examples being
figures of people and animals
molded into rock. Sculpture
was started over 2000 years
ago, the merchandise used was
such as wood, clay and even
iron, it decline over time,
and so we only have actual
examples going back about 500
years. Most existing art is
therefore nearly recent, and
because of Western
disposition, African art has
only come to display over the
past hundred years.

Although this limitless
continent is home to over one
thousand different ethnic
groups, African art has at
large common characteristics,
which make it distinctly
African. There are seven major
types of art produced in
Africa. These are masks,
statues, furniture, textiles,
pottery, beadwork, baskets,
and metalwork. Most objects
having shape are fashioned by
men, while most decorative
work such as painting and
textiles, are produced by
women.
