Knowing, Learning, Wanting to Know More!

I know that African masks and artifacts were key essentials in the history making of were the first people were found. The decay and tools they used to make them tell a story without words. I learned that Traditional art is the basic of all African arts. They are the basic tools used in ceremonies, community rituals, and they are always made to resemble or tell a story abouta human's life or animal characteristics. However, Contemporary art, it isn't as personal. In Contemporary African art, the art portrays a global view and focus on world wide interpretations. What I would like to have learned was more from the Traditional African art because it was interesting reading about how craftly Afrcans were. It showed exactly how smart they were to even create designs and get tools prepared to make such complicated artifacts.

Jay had been watching Chris Garner for months standing outside trying to catch a break.Then one day, he got it, so he thought. He showed up to the interview with an old beat up dingy muscle shirt, some denim jeans and a paint covered jacket. He walked in the room and from the minute he spoke, he simply told the truth. He stated that since he had arrived, he tried to come up with an excuse for his appearance."Truth," thought Jay.Although Jay seemed to be giving him ground, his boss looked pretty uninterested. Next thing Jay knew, his boss was laughing and it interrupted his thoughts enough to make him listen.

He heard his boss ask Chris, "If I gave a man a job who shows up to an interview with no shirt on, what would you say?" His boss' face looked serious soon after the question.

Then Chris replied,"He must have had ona nice pair of pants."The room filled with laughter. jay's face lit up, he was so relieved tha Chris found an answer to that question that didn't make him look like an a-hole.
