13 body painted girls are proof that females are living pieces of art

In a time when art is evolving every single day, it is good practice to recognize ancient art forms that have given rise to the current trends that currently exist. Chances are, unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard of body painting. The history of body painting starts hundreds of years ago, so far that we can often trace it back to our ancient ancestors. The tradition of body paint still survives among Indigenous people in some different countries and on almost every continent; parts of Africa, Pacific Islanders, Australia, and New Zealand, these are just some where clay and other natural pigments are used to designate certain tribes or conjure spirits in rituals. It’s still being used today to express one’s self, whether it is through Henna or for a more entertaining purpose.
