What styles of painting are popular?
Go to your local hardware store (the bigger the store the better) and ask. Anything is in if you like it!

There are all sorts of decorative paints that have a textured look, so it's best to ask the guy at the hardware store and also how to prepare your walls for that type of technique. Marcy
How did African art inspire Cubism?
Many artists who painted the style of cubism were collectors of primitive art, like Pablo Picasso. They began implementing stylistic elements from African, Native American and Oceanic artwork which became known as primitivism. During primitivism artists looked for a new viewpoint of depicting art, like Pablo Picasso who had studied every form of art and began to experiment on a wide scale with form and space. Picasso states, "Cubism has kept itself within the limits and limitations of painting, never pretending to go beyond it. Drawing, design and colour are understood and practiced in cubism in the spirit and manner in which they are understood and practiced in all other schools. Our subjects might be different, as we have introduced into painting objects and forms that were formerly ignored." (1) This theory began to evolve when Picasso's began attempting to find a way to depict the females in his work into the space he had in the painting "Les Demoiselles d' Avignon." He could have traditionally shown them but decided to interweave them while showing form and space. There were many other painters, but it is stated that Picasso "epitomized modernism."(2)

Why is Cezanne considered a strong influence on cubism?
An excerpt, and the site. Paul Cezanne (January 19, 1839 October 22, 1906) was a French Post-Impressionist painter. His work as an artist evolved through a number of periods. At the start of his career, his paintings were expressionistic in nature. They were dark and heavy. After being introduced to Camille Pissaro (July 10, 1830 November 13, 1903) and the Impressionists, his style became brighter and lighter. * http://www.helium.com/items/777721-cezanne-and-his-influence-on-the-cubist-movement-in-art

Cubism significantly influenced Louise Nevelson by inspiring her to break down forms and reassemble them in innovative ways. This approach allowed her to explore abstraction and fragmentation, using found objects to create her signature sculptural environments. Nevelson's emphasis on structure and spatial relationships echoes the cubist technique of depicting multiple perspectives. Ultimately, her work embodies the spirit of experimentation and redefinition of form that characterized the Cubist movement.
