Mehera's 20% Time

This is kind of late, but --

During my 20% time on Friday I went to C's art room and looked through her African Art book. I've chosen to study old Nigerian art as my project, so I flipped through the section on the Nok civilization. I found a picture of a head carved out of some sort of stone, and I made a mini-replica of it out of molding clay. I'm planning on making a plaster replica of it later, so making the mini one out of molding clay was the first step.

I think during the break I'll go to the library and see if I can find a book on African [particularly Nigerian] sculptures.
