Guinean Arts

Guinea was rapped up in metal and stone creations, an example of their 800s art techniques is that they would commonly make statues of swords and staffs out of stone and then they transitioned into metals. Then concrete became a more common sculpting material and was used to make statues of animals and people. Those kind of statues started out kind-of like stick figures, then because they became more popular and more natural looking. Then Guinean arts advanced even more in the early 10th century when copper was discovered and put into paintings after being melted and sometimes it was even formed into insect-like shapes that are now found in museums and sometimes in places that a people would go to a lot. Since the 10th century there hasn't been a whole lot of change in Guinea's art styles.
