African Art

African Art is a term which is typically used for the Art of Sub-Saharan Africa, as the art of North Africa areas along Mediterranean coast. Most of the African Sculptures were historically in wood and other organic materials which would not survive until now, at most a few centuries ago. 

The Masks are a very important element in the African Art as they were often highly stylized. Another element in the African Art was the Cave Paintings which happened many years ago. They were a way of how people communicated back then as they were hidden in caves.
