This is going to be a wonderful experience!.

THE AFRICAN MASK
To the Western World masks are the most commonly known art form of AFRICA. They can be admired for their aesthetic beauty and craftsmanship.
Although the artistry of the African masks is evident, for the people who create them, they have a meaning much deeper than surface-beauty. African masks are danced to make a connection between the human and the spirit worlds, to convey ideas, and to re-inforce social controls and religious beliefs. Masks are danced or performed at funerals, initiation ceremonies, re-enactments of legends, and to ask a spirit's blessing for the prosperity and protection of an individual, family or community. The depictions of women, royalty and animals on the mask represent some of the Spirits the masks evoke.
Some of the spirits these masks evoke are depicted as women, royalty and animals.
