Nigerian Spear (P.2)

During Makerspace over the last couple of classes, I have been working on a Nigerian spear.

As you all know, I found a stick and decided to make a spear. Before I decided to make it Nigerian, my idea was South African, due to learning about Africa in class. I found out that not many South African tribes and people made spears. Then I remembered that Nigeria is known for its precise and beautiful wood carvings. I decided to make it Nigerian. Since the last time, I have shortened the spear and am currently working on sharpening and Etching Nigerian-styled animals onto the stick using the Soldering machine. I am considering adding LED lights to the spear, but that wouldn’t be Nigerian-styled. While doing this, Doc made me research Nigerian and South African art, so I learned quite a lot about African art. If not for Doc making me research African art, I would’ve called it South African while it would be based on Nigerian art.
