Most of us are influence with the culture and practices that we already have that has been establish by the past. Our history is so rich that we cannot catch up to most of them but it is better if you would try to understand them. These things were present that made a lot of influences to people that are in there.

Art is a god way to bring the past back and can be able to experience how life it was use to be from different places. Africa is known to have great diversity with their culture and spreading uniqueness for so long already. There are African masks that are really famous today because they got a great story behind it.

They have deeper meaning and made to history that crafted the world of art for a long time already and still being use today. You can track down their history since the Paleolithic times which these masks are from different materials. It does include leather, metal, fabric, and any kinds of wood that would make an impact.

Many art collectors are still collecting these items and are sold at a high price because they got great value after all. The things that are seen in the museums are replica of the original creations as a part of protecting it. Its significant value is priceless to some that made rituals and other ceremonies before essential.

When they wear it before, it should have a great purpose like preparing for war or peace process, harvesting, initiation, and other celebrations. The way a person would wear it would portray different messages. It is required for the person to bear in his soul a strong and great personality to handle the ritual.

There are plenty of ceremonies that have applied this practice and will relate to communicate in every deity they like. They need guidance from these creatures that is why they were doing this on the right way. Each ritual shall be perform carefully to prevent any issues once they will reach to the point of getting through the spirits.

In the ritual, there will be a stage that the dancer and the one wearing the mask will be able to reach the trance state. This is a way for them to communicate with their ancestors and relay the message to the people. There will be a translator that shall be there to observe and decipher the message for everyone to understand.

The music will take part on how they could exercise the ritual and turn it on properly so it can create the mood they are looking for. There is a practice on how they could perform the dance and should be sincere. This made their lives better that made great changes to the practices they do in there.

This made a lot the present artist to get their ideas with the creations that were made from the past generations. They celebrate what has been created already and were influence on the right way at the same time. It is important for a person to appreciate what they have and everything will work perfectly too.
