TADITIONAL AFRICAN ART AND IMAGES

My main focus will be to open discusions on African Art both traditional and contemporary. Though I specialize in Traditional African images I am well aware that most Africans and Africans in Diaspora do not. I was trained in European art, but I aleady had an art background before I went to Art School. By age 16 I was participating in museum exhibitions with adults.

I will make refeneces to the following database during my discussions concerning African Art: "African Image Database". It is one I compiled myself. Almost everything that I will make references to will be in that database, or other references I add from time to time. The address of the first reference is:

http://www.earthmetropolis.com/Africa_West_and_South_of_The_Nile/slides.html

The information at that database is free. You don't have to have a membership to view material in the database. Next time I will provide information on why an Online Traditional African Art Database is important. The second lesson will explain how to use the database (find information).

Fill free to add any information, ask questions or tell us about your self and your interest in art. If you are and artist be sure you leave us a link so that we can view your work on line.

Until Next Time
