Friday, October 28, 2011. In “Imaging Otherness in Ivory” by Suzanne Blier art from the African groups of,. Kongo, and Sapi are studied and used to show that one can understand how these groups perceived the Portuguese when they arrived. Would receive a new lithograph or picture from another country and make a connection to fit it into their beliefs. My question is why did or do they do this.

Thursday, September 15, 2011. Something that I found interesting was that earlier on all they had was cinema movies to paint from, but now they have the television to go off of and that gives them a huge range of media to go off of. This also means that they get information much quicker from around the world. September 16, 2011 at 3:06 PM. September 17, 2011 at 2:43 PM. September 18, 2011 at 7:49 PM.

Arts of Africa: Week Four
http://kcartoafrica.blogspot.com/2011/09/week-four.html

Friday, November 4, 2011. One question a member in my discussion group posed that I found to be very interesting was something to the effect of, “what could I do, if anything, as a young white female with this new information to help effect change? And needless to say from only one ethnic group in. So this got me thinking about my future as an art educator and what I can do to help embark on a journey to effect change in my k-12 curriculum of art education. Overall the question that was posed raised more...

Friday, October 7, 2011. Sample of Yoruba Beliefs. This week we read about the Yoruba peoples of. After reading about the Yoruba people(s), I have found that the Yoruba show their portrayal of women in a greater way than some other African peoples. It is obvious to many that they honor and cherish women and their power of fertility. I also have found that they have deeply rooted beliefs that are as current today as it was years ago.
