Survival: Mother and Child

Survival comes in many forms, whether they be obtaining food, the reproductive and survival rates of the individuals and future generations, and how individuals protect themselves from the harsh environment.

African art I find interesting because of the bold use of colors and shapes, which could be found in their painting, ceramics, and textiles. Even in their patterns there are pleasant irregularities to it. The textiles are traditionally made from the efforts of both genders, the women gather the materials and spin the thread, the men then does the weaving. The very nature that both genders play a part in making the fabric also have some reproductive symbology, both complementing each other to create a whole. The art of textiles nowadays preserved much of the history of textile making, however, new innovations, designs, and fashions are bringing the African textiles into modern day society.

*Note: I wish I have the artists name, but it is untitled, but you can Google African Art to find the picture it was based on.
