Different genres have different themes that distinguish them from other genres. Because these themes are often a reflection of the culture of the place where the art form originates. They represent things that are important to this culture. An example of a genre is the work of art that you can find the Vatican, where the themes are mostly religious. Another example is the African art genre, where the themes are distinctly African. There are four very common themes in African art that show African culture. These include "a couple," "a woman and her child, "was" a man with a weapon or animal, "and an alien or" stranger. "
A couple
A recurring theme in African art is couples, who are believed to represent ancestors or founders of the community. Most of the art this theme were shrines and sculptures for ceremonies. This theme is the importance placed on the two as one. Couples mean also the strength and honor.
Mother and child
Mother and child are also a recurring theme in African art. They represent the earth mother and the people as his children. Otherwise, this theme also reflects the value that African people place on motherhood and the relationship between mothers and their children.
Man with a weapon or animal
This theme is generally used to show to honor deceased ancestors since the sculpture of animals is done to signify the status of the person. African focus on ownership animals since the honor signifies power and wealth.
Stranger
In African culture, a stranger is someone who may belong to another country or a tribe, or one who is generally considered inappropriate. Usually, works of art that illustrate these foreign exaggerates the physical differences, Emphasizing the difference between the unknown and the tribe.
