[00:04.62]but the goal of traditional art in Africa and the Pacific islands
[00:08.46]is to influence spiritual powers, that is, gods, to enter people's lives.
[00:14.49]Each tribe or village there
[00:16.21]has special ceremonies with songs and dances to make sure that crops, animals and people
[00:21.57]are healthy and increase in number.
[00:24.67]The dancers in these ceremonies wear masks, headdresses, and costumes
[00:28.94]that they believe are necessary to influence gods.

[00:35.55]are a very part of the art.
[00:38.44]As we've said, art depends on culture.
[00:42.48]Different forms of art result from different cultures.
