African masks were made from many different materials, depending on the culture. Which BEST explains why this was the case?

Question

• Art in 3D requires different materials than 2d art.
• Every culture wanted to be unique and create distinct masks.
• Cultures used whatever materials could be found in their region.
• Masks were the only element that allowed cultures to express themselves.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Cultures used whatever materials could be found in their region.

African masks were made from various materials based on what was available in the culture's region. Different cultures had access to different resources, which influenced the choice of materials for creating masks. The availability of materials determined the variety of materials used for making the masks rather than a desire for uniqueness or a requirement for 3D art.
