Discuss Kissi Art under the follo'wing headings:

This question was not popular among the candidates. Very few of the candidates attempted the question.

(a) Location: Some candidates wrongly cited places as The Gambia, Mali, Egypt etc, while others mentioned the actual areas - North Eastern Sierra Leone and South Western Gambia.

(b) Art Forms: Some candidates did not understand the word 'Art form'. They mentioned poster design, mural design etc. But "Art Forms" are art products of the people such as :
(i) soap stone carving of Pomdo or Pomtan; (ii) Nomli figures;
(iii) axes made of stone.

(c) Characteristics: None of the candidates could mention any characteristic. But the common characteristics are:
abstract style of work; works tabular in shape; protruding eyes; enlarged lips; ornamented figures; pointed chins;
