Many candidates attempted this question and their performance was fairly
good.
Some candidates discussed Igbo-ukwu and Ife arts without making any
comparison between them and lost some marks.
Candidates were expected to compare them through similarities and
differences as follows:
Both are Nigerian arts.
They both produce bronze works by cire perdue or lost wax method
Both forms are naturalistic.
Differences
Igbo-ukwu arts are mostly utility objects with ornaments while Ife
arts are mostly heads to dignify the king (court art) Igbo-ukwu arts are mostly bronzes while Ife arts are both terracotta,
bronze and stone. |
