What A Wonderful World Art Box

£29.00

Lots of Lovely Art

The arts of different continents, countries and regions can all teach us much about their particular people’s history, traditions and beliefs. In Africa we look at the tradition of kente cloths, and zellij tiles. In Asia we turn to the art of sumi-e and to the world-famous Taj Mahal. Finally, in South America we look at Guatemalan ‘worry dolls’ and at the brightly coloured textile art called molas.

In the past few decades, people have had unprecedented opportunities to travel and to see the world. And many have brought back with them a new awareness of the differences among cultures and peoples, differences in their traditions, their religions, their language, their food and, not least of all, in their art.
