The continent of Africa is home to some of the most spectacular wildlife on earth. The relationship between humans and the natural world is foundational to many systems of African spiritual thought and practice, so animals, both natural and supernatural, are represented in art across the continent.
Before printing these coloring sheets, we encourage you to check out the mini digital exhibition Natural, Supernatural: Animals in African Art to learn more about each art object. We’ve included engagement questions for each printable coloring sheet. Have fun!
Porcupine quills are very sharp. Why would someone wear a shirt or crown made of porcupine quills? How will you color this to make the quills look sharp?
