This is part of the International Education component of the course so we will be choosing topics that are tribal cultures, a genre of art that focuses on a major artist within that genre or an art form within a particular culture. Remember that genres of art are things like painting, music, architecture, weaving, pottery,literature, poetry, sculpture , photography, film and so on. Major artists will be listed by last name only. It is your job to create a program that tells me everything about a tribal culture, or a specific artist or or an art form within a particular culture.
