Primitive Art is produced by people who have not developed any form of writing. The word primitive applied to art commonly means African sculpture, aborignal American art, the arts of the South Seas, and other tribal arts in different parts of the world. There is no one primitive style, but many styles ranging from simple patterns to portrait sculpture that would rank as masterpieces anywhere. Primitive does not mean crude and is used in the sense of undeveloped only in certain specific instances.
Primitive art uses materials provided by nature, derived from plants and animals or taken from the earth, such as clay and various kinds of stones and metals. Often these materials are used in the natural state, but sometimes they are refined by man.
