Question 3:

Easy

During the 19th century, African art began to arouse the interest of European artists and collectors, who saw in African pieces an inspiration for the modernist movement. In Brazil, the influence of African art can be seen, for example, in the works of Tarsila do Amaral, who in her painting 'Abaporu' portrays traits and stylistic elements present in African art. Considering the importance of African art in shaping a national aesthetic imaginary, describe in general terms how the representation of daily life in African tribes is reflected in their artistic expressions and how this representation may have influenced Brazilian art. Then, cite a specific example of a Brazilian artwork that highlights this influence and explain how it is manifested in the chosen work.

Question 5:

Medium

African art, widely recognized for its aesthetic and cultural contributions, plays a fundamental role in the composition of the global art scene. The diversity of artistic expressions on the African continent reflects the complexity of the societies that created them, often serving as a vehicle for the transmission of knowledge, beliefs, and stories from generation to generation. In the Sub-Saharan Africa region, for example, art can be observed as an integral part of the tribes' daily life, used in rituals, celebrations, and symbolic communications. This richness of cultural expressions also found resonance in territories beyond the African continent, strongly influencing artistic practices and styles in various regions of the world, including Brazil. Considering the interdisciplinarity and the ability for historical and cultural contextualization, analyze a passage of contemporary Afro-Brazilian poetry that incorporates elements of African art and identify, based on knowledge about the role of African art in shaping Brazilian cultural identity, the possible symbolic and thematic aspects that reveal the influence of the African artistic and cultural context on the author's poetics.
