THE DYNAMICS OF IJO ETHNIC SCULPTURE

 

           

There are fundamental changes that take place in every human structure. These changes are occasioned by evolution; and the underlying characteristics of evolution-ism is the people, culture and environment. All human beings belong to a culture. Man is said to be a rational being. Man gives vent to his rationality with the context of art, society and culture which enhances his creative sensibility. Art has existed in every society at a given time, Ijo sculpture inclusive but the cultural attitude towards arts has been very poor. These ethnic sculpture have not been given comprehensive study and much needed scholarly embrace from the point of view of contribution to regional artistic development. Art is considered as one of the determinants to analyze the cultural system. It would be absurd not to recognize the inextricable connection between man, culture and the arts. The study aims at presenting, analyzing, and to reveal the progressive trend of Ijo sculpture. Instruments such as photographic recordings of visuals, and library studies were used to achieve the desired objective. This can make a more meaningful contribution to modern Nigeria sculpture history.
