  2. Foreign tourists have been visiting the Dogon for decades. As time goes by more and more Dogon perform with their art to earn income from the tourist trade. This has completely changed the context in which Dogon art is made and understood. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? What could the benefits be, and what could the problems be?

  9. The spirits that control the lives of the Lobi people can be described as invented spirits. That is they were spiritual beings that play an important role in people's lives because there is a need for their protection. When the need is there the spirits are important, when the need disappears the spirits disappear as well. Do we have any similar system in our own culture? Are there similar invented spirits in other people's cultures? Name some invented spirits that you know about and describe the ways they provide their blessings.

  15. For decades very little was known about the art and culture of the Mossi people of Burkina Faso. Research on their art has revealed that there are different styles are distributed based on the ancient conquest of the original farming peoples by horsemen from the South. The result is that art has come to serve as a original document for understanding these people.
  16.  
  17. Identify another people, anywhere in the world, whose art helps us understand who they are, where they have come from, and what their history is. Include who, where, and what as part of your response.

  22. I have always believed that when cultures mix the results are much richer than the originals. We have seen this to be true in the impact of African music on Western music, in the impact of the art of the subcontinent India and Japan on European and American art, and in many other examples.
  23.  
  24. Identify something that impressed you from the Bidyogo culture that represents their contact and interaction with Europeans who arrived on the coast from the late 1400s onward.

  30. Americans tend not to think very much about kingship art in Africa, nor do they think of the great depth of history in Africa. The art of the kingdom of Benin in Nigeria is a good example of the ancient history of Africa, and of the fact that African artists were and are capable of creating very beautiful things for the use of Kings and Queens.
  31.  
  32. Identify an object from the lecture on Benin kingship art that you feel best mirrors the political and military power of the kings of Benin.

  41. The art of ancient Ife is a bit of a surprise, because it is so realistic. Most of us come to African art with the idea that it is all very abstract, and we are surprised when we see how naturalistic are the portraits of the kings of ancient Ife.
  42.  
  43. In your opinion, what is it about the use of these objects and their subject matter that results in their naturalism and realism?
  44. In your opinion, if these objects are so realistic why is other African art so abstract?

  50. Unlocked: Sunday, May 22, 2016 8:00 AM CDT - Saturday, May 28, 2016 11:59 PM CDT.
  51. Eshu is the God of choices and consequences, he is also the God of the crossroads, where people need to make choices. I am particularly fond of Eshu because I believe very strongly in the importance of consequences. If you think carefully before you act or speak then you honor Eshu. If you act impulsively then you have neglected Eshu, and he will suffer the consequences. If you act or speak impulsively, it is quite possible that you will make a bad decision. The Yoruba people of Nigeria understand how important such things are.
  52.  
  53. In your opinion, do Americans understand the importance of good choices and of their consequences?
  54. Identify an important positive and negative choice you have made and the consequences for each.G2 Asante art as the nexus of the verbal and visual

  58. Much of the art of the Asante makes their Proverbs visible. My favorite is the figure of a man holding an egg, which represents the idea that political power is fragile: if you hold it too tightly you crush it but if you hold it to loosely it falls to the ground and is broken.
  59.  
  60. Identify a visual symbol that represents verbal idea(s) or saying(s) in American or Western culture that you have used. Describe when and how you used it.

  67. We have seen among the Mende people of Sierra Leone, young women pass through a period of initiation where they learn their skills as adult female members of society. These are described often as life passages, or major markers in the road of life.
  68.  
  69. Identify a passage in our own culture that includes a journey through childhood to adulthood and finally to old age that you have personally observed. Describe the event.

  86. After we have looked at the art of the Lega people of Congo, we begin to realize that there are so many different meanings to art that are lost when the object is collected and put in an American or European Museum, that we may fail to understand the real importance of the object.
  87.  
  88. In your opinion, what should we do to prevent such a loss with other people's art?

  119. in western culture we assume any sort of the figure of a beautiful woman is somehow erotic. In the case of the Luba these figures are political. How can this be? What is the important role of women in Luba politics?
