Art plays an important part in the life of traditional Africa. An artist is a respected person, and the things artists make are used every day and become part of people's lives. This fun KidsArt unit celebrates the traditional arts of Africa, including activities in:

Gold weights of Ghana...and lots more

The Arts of Africa Unit from KidsArt offers projects for replicas of traditional African art and life to enrich your multi-cultural and art history curriculum.

All KidsArt art teaching units bring you 16 reproducible pages of hands-on art activities. The projects are simple, innovative and easy to use in home or classroom settings. Because the activities are open-ended, teaching the process rather than a specific product or end result, they can be used with many different ages and stages of development, from preschool through middle school.
