The Coloring Book of African Art Through the Ages showcases
a remarkable selection of Ancient Egyptian art and the arts of Africa from the
breathtaking collections of the Brooklyn Museum. The Museum's celebrated collections cover a wide range thematically, geographically, and
chronologically. The complete collection includes stone and wooden sculptures,
paintings, ceramics, jewelry, and textiles that together provide unparalleled
insights into the daily lives, religious beliefs, and systems of governance of
different cultures and communities across Africa throughout the greater part of
recorded history. The Coloring Book of African Art Through the Ages presents more than 60 of these works for you
to complete, either by reproducing the original colors or by letting your
imagination run free to create whole new palettes. Among the objects depicted are
hieroglyphic inscriptions chiseled in stone, mummy-masks, coffins,
amulets, drinking vessels, crowns and headdresses, portraits, statues, and
weights. Among many highlights are a mosaic of a lion, a bust of a goddess, and
an animal frieze. Egypt features prominently, of course, but there is also a
wealth of artifacts from regions that are now parts of Angola, Burkina Faso, the
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Ghana, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Sierra
Leone, and Tunisia. The oldest objects in this book date
from around 2000 bce, the most
recent are 20th century. - More than 60 drawings for you to bring to life in
color - Color photographs of original artifacts for
reference - Highlights similarities and differences between
numerous African cultures over 5000 years
