The Ghanaian perspective of Sculpture

The Ghanaian perspective of sculpture varies from one individual to another, but this is usually grouped into three main categories.
Firstly, people who look out for just beauty or aesthetics of a sculpture piece. The only interest of this group of people is how nice the work is when finished and mounted.
The second group thinks critically about what the piece is about, what it entails, the concepts and ideologies behind its making.
The final group is ultimately concerned with both. They consider both the aesthetic qualities of the piece and also ponder over the possible concepts for its making. They even think about processes and methodologies which contributed to the production of a sculpture piece.
In very recent times, many Ghanaians did not have interest in sculpture and art in general, though the Ghanaian culture is engulfed in a lot of art. However, as time goes by, the interest for arts and sculpture in particular has increased due to sensitization and educating people on what sculpture is, and its importance to individuals and the society as a whole.
Many artists have also come out to talk about their works and to widen the scope of knowledge of the general public on art and sculpture. There still however remains a chunk of the populace who do not really know what sculpture is about, hence, do not regard it as much as they should.
Hopefully with time, the awareness will be spread and the right perspective on sculpture will be created.
