CultureRe: Stylization In African Art by tpia5: 6:33pm On Dec 27, 2013
the thread is about african art but i'll digress a little.

in prehistoric cave art, animals were often depicted with smaller heads relative to body size. This form of stylization when drawing facial structures, may have been because the society was a hunting one, and animal meat was important.


eg

CultureRe: Stylization In African Art by tpia5: 6:01pm On Dec 27, 2013
In most yoruba statues, the faces resemble the bone structure of yoruba people
yoruba people do not have one facial structure, but many.

the ife sculptures are modelled after specific ife people of that time, imo.


(wide cheekbones, short noses, tribal marks)
most traditional african sculptures feature the same, depending on the particular culture.


The stylizations are our mark, just as lack of Western Perspective is the mark of most Asian art.
art from which part of asia?

chinese art is different from indian art, for example.
CultureRe: Stylization In African Art by tpia5: 5:51pm On Dec 27, 2013
Please don't exactly believe all Wikipedia tells you, as I've seen western "experts" get it wrong, yet publish it till it's believed
its not a wikipedia thing, art generally can be analyzed by the amount and type of stylization used to depict the subject matter.

your picture still shows stylization because the artist wants the focus to be on the rider, who is made to seem larger than the horse, whose size is minimized. So you are not necessarily contradicting wikipedia in this instance.

greek art, which aimed to be as naturalistic as possible, generally followed actual body and facial proportions closely.

eg

https://historylink101.com/n/greek_images/drapped-female.jpg

https://www.scalarchives.com/scalapic/030709/b/MY00054b.jpg


this was to make the art look more realistic and relatable, and since those were the "photographs" back then in that society.

as opposed to highly stylized art which is not meant to be relatable per se, but more of functional for certain purposes, not the general public.

I expected you not say anything on this issue because these immature children hates you because you always stick their lapses to their face without minding whose ox is gored.

All this will take a lot of effort and planning though.

How could a grown nigerian man break down in tears because a lady allegedly shouted at him?

Just asking.


Did he grow up outside nigeria or something?

Christianity EtcRe: . by tpia5: 7:08pm On Dec 26, 2013
What Jesus said was WATCH and pray.

Praying without also watching, is not enough.

Identifying areas of hatred will help you know what to do.

If you are interacting with xenophobics for example, will prayer make them suddenly stop being xenophobes? You might succeed in having one or two become your "friends" but a better and more lasting option is having enforced laws in place that make for sanity in the environment.

And when that is not possible, you are not necessarily advised to stay there, you can prove me wrong from the bible.
