My drawing represents a culture of my continent. For a long time the African masks had been seen by the settlers, exhibited as curiosities in the museums or in the residences of wealthy travelers. Our culture is important because Africa is a continent of great cultural diversity. African fabric symbolizes the art of living ties between ancient times and current generations and also a witness to the cultural richness of the diversity of daily life and an African tradition. Beads play a very important role in some African cultures. The significance behind African beads include pride, beauty, culture, power and identity. During the African slave trade they were sold in exchange for beads.
Before coming to Canada I didn't do much art, but now I have made four drawings, and this is very fun to do.
