Differences And Similarities In Pueblo And Yoruba Cultures

Hammurabi's code was unjust because the laws were unfair,and very strict. For example ,law number 6 states that if anyone steals the property of a temple he shall be put to death,and the one who receives the stolen item from him shall be put to death. This law is unjust because both of who stole it shall be put to death,and also the one who receives it,and if the one who receives it gives it to someone else. Another example is law number 48,this law says that if a man borrows money to plant his fields,and a storm has flooded his field he doesn't have to give back the money. This law is unjust because it is not the man's fault that the storm happened, so he has to give back the money. The final example is law number 260,this

The Nok heads and sculptures of Nigeria are made hallow, life-sized terra-cotta figures with a coiling technique commonly used to make pottery vessels (Thames & Hudson, 2015, pg.451). Nok heads were made with clay and although clay is very durable it is also breakable. However, very few sculpture have been found undamaged. The head of the figures was larger than the bodies because the artists wanted to emphasize the association between the head with knowledge and identity. The Nok head below is from Rafin Kura, sculpted in c. 500 BCE-200 CE. Like many Nok heads, this sculpture has a unique hairstyle, with three buns on top. It also has triangular- shaped eyes with holes in the pupils, nostrils, mouth, and

The Pueblo Indians lived in the area of America that is now named New Mexico. Just like the Wampanoag Indians in Massachusetts, the Pueblo Indians tied spirituality to the land they lived on. Their creation story shows some of the spiritual bonds to their land. “…With the aid of Badger and Locust, the sisters climbed though a hole in the ground and at once created the mountains, lakes, and canyons of Pueblo country” (Sando 22). Since the Pueblos believed that their people had actually

Olmec made mounds out of soil that replicated mountains and volcanoes. They would also paint on cave walls, carved out sculptures in the material called jade. These jade sculptures where used for ceremonial purposes. These Olmec didn’t use jade for carving utensils, instead they used stone to make drills to use for carvings. This region also made pyramids that are aligned with the north and south axis. These people were also known to paint human and animal figures and postures in many

In the kingdom of Benin, making castes with bronze was introduced to the rest of the world. “Now this kind of work is done with clay, and wax, and red metal (copper), and soldier (zinc) and lead, and fire…Next it is set aside to cool, then (the outside covering of clay) is broken off,” (Document 7). The art of creating bronze castes was very popular in Benin and the popularity soon spread to most of Northern Africa.

Navajo Indian Tribe Are Native Americans from the Southwestern United States. They are one of the largest tribes of American Indians in the world. They lived in the Southwest areas that are today known as New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Their "Navajo" came from the Spanish who called them the Apaches of Navajo. They called themselves "Dine" or "the People". I chose to write about the Navajo Indians Tribes because I would like to learn more about them.

In the 1500’s Navajo people began creating their tribe. The Navajo indians call themselves “Dine”, which translates to “The People”. Navajo represent the largest of all Indian nations in The United States. The Navajos have lived in North America, Alaska, and Canada. At present they have the largest reservations in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. This tribe happens to be the largest tribe in the United States today.

The Creek Indian Tribe created art by using items they found in nature. They used it to tell a story or represent history. Each item that was made had a purpose and was put to use. Many of the items were created just before the Green Corn Festival.

The native americans also made diffrent houses depending on the weather, for instance the mojave and cahuilla made their houses out of brush if the weather was hot. If the weather was cold they would make there houses out of oak planks and have slanted roofs.fun fact: did you know the cahuilla also ate beans,corn and squash?anyway, the cahuilla and the mojave lived close together and probably traded lots of things with each other too.fun fact:all tribes sing or yell special ceremonies to honor there tribe or land or there people as well as food or crops.the cahuilla lived in the foot hills of the san bernadino mountains and lived there for hundreads

Cherokee women also helped with the farming duties by weaving baskets for the farmers to put the crops in and store them. These baskets were made so strongly bonded together that they could hold water and even cook the food that was caught. The Cherokee’s also made clay bowls found from clay that would be collected from rivers nearby the Cherokee land. In order to the make the clay bowls the would lite a fire to the clay to harden the clay and then shape the in a way in which they wanted the bowls to

A group called the benin artists created a masterpiece that symbolizes royal authority and power. It’s a sculpture of 2 leopards designed as water vessels, used for when the oba washes his hands before ceremonies.

The Cherokee Indians lived in settled villages, usually located near a river. Cherokee houses were made of rivercane and plaster, with thatched roofs. These dwellings were about as strong and warm as log cabins.

After a year of voting and much debate the final decision of electing the 45th president of the United States was once again down to the Electoral College. (history) The Electoral College system was established by the founding fathers around 130 years ago and basically a process used to select the President and vice President of the United States of America (Procon). So when you went to the polls on November 8th and casted your vote for the next president, something else happened behind the scenes and you may not like or if you are trump supporter you may love (Procon). For example, lets say you’re a Hillary Clinton supporter that lives in Washington, due to a certain amendment of the United States constitution, the Electoral College, you’re not actually voting for Hillary Clinton. (Procon)If you’re familiar with the process you are actually voting for a guy named Robert Satiacum and eleven of his peers. So who is Robert Satiacum? (Procon) He and 11 others were selected by the Washington state democratic party to represent them in Electoral College if their candidate, Hillary Clinton, wins the popular vote (Procon). If that happens, then Robert and the eleven electors will officially become electors of Washington, and they will earn the right to vote in the real election (Procon). On the real Election Day, the five hundred and thirty eight members of the Electoral College can technically vote for anyone they want (Procon). This process was thought of and finally agreed upon

Sculptures came in a variety of shapes and sizes. They were often made of wood, metal, cloth, or clay. These sculptures served as personal protection figures, symbols for supernatural powers, and representation of ancestors. Most sculptures were made to represent the human body, but some cultures never carve human faces so it resembled any individual in fear of accusations of witch craft. A great example of one such sculpture is Cango and Zaire.

African art has played an important role in the culture of the world. The sculpture is the most common traditional culture expression for the African art. The different sculptures are shown by their local styles and they serve for the specific functions, such as religion. From some of these old art pieces, we figure out this kind of traditional culture expression already existed in the African for such a long time. In this paper, the art piece I am going to analyze is the Female Figure with Child and it made by Akan-Asante people. The Akan people of Ghana have been recognized for their various and attractive culture and it located in what are today Ivory Coast and the republic of Ghana in Western African. The Akan people are combined by different groups, such as the Anyi, Akawpim, Akyem, Aowin and Asante, and these people have their own dialect, but they share a lingua franca, which called Twi. The sculpture I choose could effectively reflect its own distinctive culture, because of the social connection reflect on the royalty, the comparison with other local art pieces, like Akuaba fertility dolls and its specific art form.
