Differences in the theme of African art



Common historical and environmental influences make for similarities,but there is also great diversity.Most social activity is marked by some art expression.Singing and dancing,though widespread,does not exist among all communities.Some carve,others do not.Styles and themes therefore vary from group to group.Every community tries to represent ancestral beliefs or faith in a supreme being in its unique way,resulting in great differences of art forms.
