Question

With reference to two countries, discuss the impact of colonialism on African art and culture.

Markscheme

Candidates will offer a considered and balanced review of the impact of colonialism on African art and culture. The impact of colonialism on the art and culture of the chosen countries may or may not be contemporaneous. Candidates may offer equal coverage of their chosen countries and they may offer equal coverage of the impact on art and culture. Alternatively, in either—or both—cases there may be some imbalance between the factors. However, two countries will be featured in the response and both art and culture will be addressed. Candidates may or may not choose a comparative approach, but they will—where appropriate—refer to positive and negative impacts of colonialism on African art and culture. While it may be argued that other factors had a more significant impact on art and culture in the two countries chosen, the bulk of the response must be focused on colonialism.
