At the end of the 18th century the art form called imigongo was created, Imigongo is created by cow dung. It’s a traditional art form from Rwanda made by women. The colours that are most used in this art form is black, white and red. Spiral and geometric themes are the most popular ones for this art form. Orginally it was used as decorations inside the wall of huts. Imigongo paintings are created from calf dung applied to wooden plates, which forms the structure and relief of the paintings.

describe the art and craft history of Rwanda:
The reason that we're writing about this is becuase on Thursday we are going to have Global Dignity Day and that day is an international day for the dignity and marked 20 October each year. Global Dignity Day aims to engage young people in the sense of dignity, of his own and others' lives. Global Dignity Day is a collaborative project between the school, local community and voluntary organizations.
Woodcarvings, basketry, paintings and ceramics are the traditional art styles.
Beautiful handcraft can be bought from street stalls and the markets through out Kigali as well as the capital centre for the formation of arts, for a cheap price.
A wide selection of these paintings are made by a local co-operative within the village: characterized by brown, white and black whorls and many more geometric abstractions.
These handicrafts can be bought from Kigali, the country`s capital. Visitors can also make private arrangement to visit Nyakarimbi village to get information and witness production of the unique cow-dung paintings.
