A Collage Representing Ibo Culture
Now that you have learned about the Ibo people, create a collage based on their traditions, customs, language, and rituals. A collage is a piece of artwork that uses different images or clippings to tell a story or convey a theme. Each image or clipping is layered with others so that they overlap or are arranged to create a picture. Your collage should include pieces that represent the following:
- Ibo language
- Ibo religious beliefs
- Ibo traditions or customs
- Ibo dress
For each of these pieces, you should include two images or clippings, along with a caption. Be creative and make sure to highlight them accordingly. You can design your collage in any shape and size as long as it is well-organized. Before you begin, review the Ibo Collage Checklist to make sure that you include all of the items required for full credit.
