The Medford Public Library continues its second Sunday series of online lectures meant as an introduction to African Art, its variety of forms, the depth of its history, and how it became an important player first in Western culture and continues to be important in a global world. Today’s session is “Learning to Look: Forms and Materials.” The African art that is most familiar in the west are carvings; 2-D design was equally important. It took the form of wall-painting, textiles, and body decoration. Register using the link on the library’s online calendar. The series will continue on January 12 with “Case Studies: Art in Cultural Context: Contrasting Cultures – Contrasting Styles -The Dogon of Mali and the Yoruba of Nigeria.”
