The artistic environment of Ghana in the 18th century
In the 18th century, Ghana's artistic environment was relatively homogeneous, dominated by traditional art forms. Ghana is a multi-ethnic country, in which the Akans, Avimi, Avi, Ervi, Fra and other ethnic groups have their own unique artistic styles and expressions.
Traditional arts have a very important place in Ghana, including sculpture, painting, ceramics, textiles, music, dance, etc. These traditional works of art not only have decorative and expressive functions, but more importantly, carry important information such as the culture, history and beliefs of various ethnic groups in Ghana.
Ghana's traditional art form is mainly handmade, using wood, clay, stone, ivory, etc. These materials are all derived from nature, processed and created by artists, and form a variety of unique works of art.
In addition to traditional arts, Ghana in the 18th century was influenced by European culture. At that time, Ghana's trade with Europe gradually increased, and European art and culture began to infiltrate Ghana. European art forms such as painting, sculpture and music also began to emerge in Ghana.

II. The main driving force behind the artistic renaissance in Ghana in 1726
The main driving force of the artistic renaissance in Ghana in 1726 was social and cultural transformation and change. At that time, Ghana was undergoing major socio-economic and cultural changes, which provided the conditions and opportunities for artistic revival. The development of trade and commerce provided economic support for Ghana's artistic renaissance. In the 18th century, Ghana's commerce and economy developed greatly as Ghana's trade with Europe, Africa and Asia increased.
Merchants and wealthy people began to focus on collecting art, hiring artists to create and decorate their homes and commercial premises, thus promoting the development and growth of artists and art institutions. The introduction and spread of Christianity also provided a new theme and expression for the artistic revival in Ghana. In the early 18th century, Christian missionaries began to enter Ghana and gradually became one of the main religions in Ghana.
Christian teachings emphasize respect for human dignity and equality, which has had a profound impact on Ghana's traditional culture and arts. Many artists began to create works of art with Christian themes, which made Ghana's art form more diverse and enriched.
The rise of artists and cultural institutions has also provided support and impetus for Ghana's artistic renaissance. In the 18th century, many artists and cultural institutions began to emerge who were dedicated to promoting innovation and development of Ghanaian art. Among them, the most representative are the Accra School of Fine Arts and the Accra Artists Association.
Established in 1952, the Accra School of Fine Arts was Ghana's first formal art academy, providing professional art education and training for Ghana's artistic renaissance. Established in 1953, the Accra Artists Association was Ghana's first artist association, which provides a good platform for artists in Ghana to create and showcase.
A number of other factors also played a role in the promotion of the Ghanaian Art Revival in 1726. For example, British colonial rule around the world at that time gradually influenced European culture, art and ideas in Ghana. Ghana's elite began to embrace the influence of European culture, which led to a re-evaluation and examination of indigenous traditional culture and art forms, which contributed to the development of the artistic revival.
Religious communities in Ghana at the time also contributed to the promotion of the artistic revival. Religious groups such as Christian missionaries and Muslim denominations have supported and promoted the development and innovation of Ghanaian arts to varying degrees.

Through my analysis of the artistic renaissance in Ghana, I believe that the artistic renaissance is a powerful cultural driver. In today's world, culture has become an important link of communication and cooperation between nations. As a cultural phenomenon, artistic revival can provide a new platform for cultural innovation and exchange for countries and regions, and promote the diversified development and exchange of global cultures.

The government should introduce corresponding policies and measures to promote the development of the art industry and cultural innovation. Society should pay more attention to and pay more attention to the development of the art industry and culture, and support the development and innovation of artists and art institutions.
