The origins of African American art are found in the slave communities of the 1600s to the 1800s. Most of these early pieces include small drums, quilts, wrought iron figures and ceramic vessels.
Eventually a new genre of African art has appeared where artist's passion has come out blending with his/her excitement for life and the wealth of memory, religious principle and sacred myths that the ancient culture embodied, and thus formed a distinct African American art style.
