Abstract

Africa is distinguished with its cultural significance; as it is the origin of ancient human races; the first human artistic creation emerged in Africa, where primitive man had practiced their activities during the stone-age. Africa has a special artistic history which had started with scribbles and drawings on caves walls; used as rituals by the prehistoric nations; usually illustrating the animals they used to hunt.
African arts and artifacts are represented in various collections of wooden sculptures, copper & leather products, textiles and ceremonial religious masks, although; and despite the richness of this art which influenced many artistic approaches; only few designers attempted to benefit from its aesthetic values and symbols in their work.
This research attempts to lead the way to experience and utilize the expressive and symbolic values of the African art in designing printed textile wall-hangings and metal wall-coating, to decorate the reception and lobby areas of the African-themed hotels and touristic resorts.
