Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Navajo sand paintings are made as a part of a healing ceremony or ritual to restore balance and harmony within an individual and their community. The painting is not meant to last forever, as it is meant to be destroyed or erased after the ceremony is complete. The choice of dry fresco, impressing visitors, and darkness are not relevant to the purpose and tradition of Navajo sand paintings.
