An expression of the Ghanaian way of life
Abstract
This is an exposition, of the indigenous art of the people of Ghana. It begins with an attempt to describe the role of art in education, referring to the system by which the child is made to play with toys, games and other objects of art in the nursery and infant school, to develop his senses 'and general appreciation of colour, form and space.
The paper discusses the main traditional crafts as practiced by the artists, traces their relevance to the socio=economic life of the people and hopes for their development into big industries. It then makes a comprehensive survey of the textile industries of Ghana and their impact on the Ghanaian economy.
