Map of Europe
The art forms found in European art are often shared among many of the countries. For example, many European countries create decorative eggs for various holidays, but each area may use a different technique. "While the general idea may be the same and similar materials are used, arts and crafts are usually distinctive to a particular cultural area." (Art From many Hands by Joe Miles Schuman)
