Children learn about African art and decorate their own masterpiece.
Many African societies have no extensive written culture so masked dances serve to teach people right from wrong. When a dancer wears a Dan mask he becomes the spirit of that mask. A masked dancer will speak in the language of the spirits and his words are interpreted by a wise man.
The children decorate their own masks with geometric designs. We provide all equipment and materials for every child to take part.
