Answer:

Create a connection with nature and the sacred, the divine.

Explanation:

African art is a faithful reflection of the rich histories, myths, beliefs and philosophy of the inhabitants of a huge continent. The richness of this art has provided raw material and inspiration for various contemporary artistic movements from America and Europe. Twentieth-century artists admired the importance of abstraction and naturalism in African art.

The history of African art dates back to the prehistoric period. The earliest artistic forms are the paintings and stone engravings of Tassili and Ennedi in the Sahara region (6000 BC in the first century of our era).

Other examples of early African art are the clay-sculptured sculptures of Nok (northern Nigeria) culture artists, made between 500 BC and 200 AD. Also noteworthy are the decorative bronze works of Igbo-Ukwu (9th and 10th centuries) and the magnificent bronze and terracotta sculptures of Ifé (12th to 15th centuries). The latter show technical skill and are so naturally represented that until recently it was believed to have inspiration in the art of ancient Greece.

African people made their art objects using various elements of nature. They made ivory sculptures, carved wooden masks, and gold and bronze ornaments. The themes portrayed in works of art refer to everyday life, religion and the natural aspects of the region. In this way, they carved and painted myths, forest animals, scenes of traditions, everyday characters, etc.
