It exemplified the wisdom of the working people. The knots have the beauty of plainness and nature. Applying it in modem decoration would give the Modem decorative art personality and all kinds of form are available. The two parts would interact and help each other forward.

Although ecocriticism itself is a relatively new theory, African artists have been preoccupied with issues bothering around environment in order to protect and preserve it. ljala genre has been studied by different scholars such as Babalola S. A. （1966）, Olukoju E. O. （1978） and Alagbe ＇Sayo （2007） from diverse perspectives; however, its ecocritical relevance has not been investigated. It is in view of the foregoing that this paper carries out an ecocritical reading of ljala chant： an example of Ogundare Foyanmu＇s selected ljala chant. The paper aims at establishing environmental consciousness in the work of this oral artist. It is observed that though ecocritical theory itself is new in African literature, African artists have shown commitment towards environmental protection in their works from time immemorial. Foyanmu conscientises the people to desist from sneeringly underrating the effect of water hazard. The paper, therefore, has no doubt, established that the subject ofljala genre is not in any way limited to hunting or hunters＇ life. It is also used to address other relevant socio-political and economic issues展开更多

Also from the ancient age, we, humans, knew to mix colors with oil to draw. Materials at the time, however, were very gross with many shortcomings and limitations. Over the time, many generations of painters have taken great pains to search for materials and craped for paint. Nevertheless, only until the age of Van Eyck brothers （around 1390-1441） they gained great success in accomplishing and developing oil-painting techniques. Oil-painting colors until this age got purer, brighter, shinier, waterproof, sustainable, and endurable with time. Since then, oil-paint has been widely used in almost countries worldwide. It can be said that the accomplishment of oil-paint is a great technical revolution that changes and enhances the picture painting art. The painting ofoil in English means oil painting. It is the kind of the most popular and favorite pictures. It is called as the name of painting material. That is the oil paint that can be drawn on wooden, metal, and canvas surfaces, etc., Oil kinds with different materials will bring about kinds of oil paints with differentiated attributes. Oil paintings by Indian painters firstly appeared in those on Buddhism and they came to China from the 5th to 10th centuries but only until the 15th century, oil paintings got popular and developed. Oil paint finally became the key tool for painters to transfer into artistic works.展开更多
