The Senufo people of West Africa's Ivory Coast are renowned for their cloth paintings. They believe their paintings have special meaning and help protect them in in their daily lives. Designs usually include animals from their area that are covered in patterns. Traditionally they would create their paintings on hand woven fabrics using natural fibers, natural dies made from plants and mud from the roots of trees.
Inspired by the artistic tradition of the Senufo people, fourth grade artists drew and painted on raw canvas to create their own cloth paintings. They are currently on display in outside the TTE Library,. If you want to see them in person, do so soon because they are coming down next week!
but Below are some of their works.
