art as a reflection of culture

I really agree that art can be a reflection of culture, a product of culture and a sign for culture about to arrive. I believe it can be a reflection of culture because lots of different types of art come from different cultures for example in Africa their ancestors are very important so they create masks to honor their ancestors. Which reflects their culture because most countires dont do that including us in the U.S. Art can also be a product of culture for example pop culture is different for every culture but dosnt nessarily reflect culture but is just what is good at the time. Art can also help us see the culture that may arrive when different techniques are used in art any of them may blow up and be the new cool thing so we may be able to guess what is going to affect our culture next. Another example can beclothes some come and go and others stick around for example, blue jeans. Someone may have guessed that that was going to be a sign of something that was going to be big for our culture and some others.
