LEVEL: Key Stage 4 onwards. Provide your student with a resource for exploring, discovering and understanding African art in context. Eighteen objects, which represent African artists from different times, regions and ethnic groups, challenge common notions, and encourage a re-examination of African art and culture. The objects profiled range from early fifteenth century to the present, and present a variety of media and techniques. Each topic details two works, which allows students to compare and contrast representations and ideas from different regions. A host of features including a timeline and map, world art connections, classroom activities, and study sheet questions, facilitate understanding.
