African Art And Crafts by Francisco Lakay
If you've been to Africa, and in particular to South Africa, you would have seen the countless vendors standing on sidewalks, along the freeways, and even along well-traveled tourist destinations to sell their art. These private vendors normally just sell their African art and crafts to put food on the table for his/her family, sometimes at very, very low prices - not even remotely compensating for their effort in creating the artwork.
You will come across art and crafts of different aspects of Africa and its vast ethnic groups, which include the Big Five, beading and jewellery of high quality, spears, knives, sandals, and paintings. In all these arts and crafts you can clearly see the amount of effort and time put into creating these skillful displays of Africa - especially in the case where an artform was sculpted from a solid hardwood log! Most times it is just plain amazing to see these people apply their trade right there in their vending stall or shop for anyone to see - and it is mostly very, very original!
African paintings are also very popular due to their originality in portraying some significant image seen in nature, involving mostly wildlife, but also people in their different settings. African art and crafts definitely gives an insight into the mostly unknown African continent for people who have never visited here before. This however, is also no longer an issue as most prominent and promising artists display their art and crafts on the Internet, making it accessible for anyone who wishes to purchase that very special memento from the African continent.
