Critique of central african arts in the 1800s

Much of the art is of humans, their faces, bodies etc. It would seem that the artists are trying to show their heritage in the markings or unique traits on the sculptures. Most of the art is done in wood though metal and beads may have been added, probably due to lack/ presence of materials. It shows how the culture is affected by resources and the use of them. The color is mainly shades of grey and brown most likely depending on the wood being used. The artist seems to add rounded edges to their art in order to create a more realistic look. I myself disliked the artwork because I disliked the medium I don't like the idea behind it im not fond of cultural repetion in artwork.
