| Objectives |
Students will learn and understand that the Cote d’Ivoire is just one region of the continent of Africa, and it is composed of many nations that have their own traditions and spiritual practices. Students will understand that the styles, materials, techniques, and functions of the works of art these nations create also vary, even within a single region, as we discuss the people who inhabit this region, and the objects they create. By studying the works of art, students will learn that even though these objects are beautiful, they also have important social functions. The objects may attest to the social status of the wearer and may be used in ceremonial rituals. |
