Leaving the Aztec Empire and the worship of Coatlicue, we will now discover the beauty of the art of the Dark Continent – Africa – in the fifteenth century. Being the second-largest continent of the world, Africa is a land of diverse cultures and numerous art styles. Even though there was a wide variety of African culture, the majority of African groups believe in the invisible world of sacred ancestors, deity, and natural forces. The art forms of Africa mainly included masks, sculptures, hair jewelry, carvings, dolls, pots, and ornament ... The main material was wood because lots of wood locates in the forests of West and Central Africa, and wood was used in everyday life. Traditional African art, in general, was practical rather than decorative.
