In African cultures, "Art" — whether
it be music, dance, sculpture, carving or painting — is not
a concept divorced from daily life. Cultural history is preserved
in artistic expression, as much in everyday objects and activities
as in ceremonial ones. Visual arts, music, language, movement and
ritual, together communicate and perpetuate cultural traditions
and belief systems.
The following Lesson Plans use traditional
African art objects and folk tales to stimulate a deeper understanding
of African culture through both research and creative projects.
