Effect on Culture

By Whitney

       Art effects African Culture in many ways. Different cultures sometimes use art as a way to show their religion. Some people in Africa use many bright colored costumes and artifacts to dance for their gods. They may dance for their gods to express their religion, or to announce a specific event that is going on that day or time. Not all people use this way to express art. Art effects other cultures in many different ways.

    Art can come in many forms to African people. Some cultures in Africa may use art as a way to express themselves or others in their life. Art can be put into effect as dance, pottery, paintings, masks, and other ideas. When people worship gods, they may present them with gifts and dances. African people use art every day in their lives to show different things that are going at that time.

    To some people in Africa, art is just another past time, but to others it means a lot more. Ancestors from many years ago used art in their everyday life. Pottery is one type of art in Africa. Some people create pots to sell to others or make it for themselves or other members of their families or friends.
