art

Nigeria's art dates back a long time, over 2000 years by some archeological beliefs. The Nok Terracotta and the Igbo Ukwu are examples of some excavations that have been discovered by archeologists to indicate a highly developed artistic and technologically based civilization. In turn Ugandan craft works are so varied that one needs to pay attention to various ethnic setting in order to exhaust it. One has also to make distinctions and give similarities that occur within the crafts of different ethnic groups. The differences that appear in crafts are consequences of the cultural practices of each ethnic group.
Art and craft are part of Nigeria and Uganda culture. Crafts have been developed through the traditions of the people. Art and craft are a result of the feelings of the people responding to a variety of historical events and influences and the environment in a most spontaneous manner. Art is the creation of works of beauty.

Nigeria and Uganda have a strong bond based in art production also both have a cultural relationship because they both also participate in masquerade activities usually celebrated ones in a year occasionally during Decembers and Christmas period also to add they both are countries from Africa so in summary this are both proud African country with strong beliefs in art.
