Students will build on their understanding of
the history of art through engagement with an overview of art in the Pacific
with particular focus on its bicultural and emerging multicultural character.
The paper will develop knowledge and understanding by identifying and
explaining contexts and cultural practices from which art practice in New
Zealand has developed. Students
will further develop their understanding of the history of art by identifying
and beginning to articulate the ways in which these practitioners influence
their own relative practices. Students will be engaged in practice-based
explorations to extend their comprehension of relationships between history and
practice.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
On
successful completion of this paper, students have:
2.1 Evaluated
and contextualised relevant art practices
· Explained where and why specified art
works and practices are keys to understanding the story of art in the Pacific

Utilised journaling effectively to document phases
of investigation and analysis
·
Employed
active documentation as a working tool to inform thinking
·
Demonstrated
an ability to integrate
historical and theoretical thinking alongside practical investigation in a
journal format
3 CONTENT
AND CONTEXT
The paper will be
delivered through a combination of lectures, practical workshops, and
independent study/practice. It will
cover:
·
Art and craft practices in New Zealand found from the time of
first European contact with the indigenous Maori.
·
Context for study of Maori art and craft includes knowing about
the function and ascribed value of moko, Whakairo, Kowhaiwhai, Tukutuku,
raranga and taniko.
·
Context for painting, sculpture and craft practices developed
from the time of European settlement will include reference to European and
international precedence and practices. There will be recognition of art
theoretical positions as they affect subjects, themes and their
interpretations.
·
Contemporary and traditional arts and crafts practices of
pacifica peoples are included.
·
Australian art: including that of the aboriginal peoples will be
investigated. This includes the strong
narrative tradition found in the presentation of landscape painting besides
contemporary arts and crafts.
·
Traditional and contemporary practices in the arts of Japan,
China and Korea will be introduced and contextual questions discussed.
4. Welcome to Art History and Theory BMA 212.
Last year, in BMA 112, we were introduced to an overview of
the history of Western European, and some North American art, largely because the ways of seeing found in
these cultures are familiar to us through entertainment media and therefore
make a comfortable starting point for launching our study. Even if we have not yet travelled overseas,
living in a culture saturated with visual images and conditioned by the habit
of looking at subjects with a photographic eye we can engage with images from
other places and other times.
Understanding the purpose for their making and use; what they might
signify, is another matter.
In BMA 112 we studied examples of art and architecture and
practiced the formal language of art terms,
identifying genres (types) of
subjects as well as recognising and describing their stories and themes. We spent time asking about the
contexts, events and beliefs from which art making arose.
This year in BMA 212 we bring these skills closer to our
Pacific home. Our range of study in Semester 1 covers New Zealand art from the
time of European contact with Maori.
We start with looking into traditional Maori art and craft practices and
shift this through to contemporary Maori art.
When we look at what is happening in New Zealand today we cannot overlook the fact
that more people who identify as being
from island cultures live in New Zealand than are resident in the Pacific. It follows that our second zone of study must
be the art of the Pacific. Pacifica
people have made a strong impression on the contemporary art scene in New
Zealand.
In Semester 2 we start with crossing the Tasman. Our study there also commences from the time
of first European contact with Aboriginal Australian cultures. Today we are witnessing a renaissance in
the art making practices of Australia’s first people.
Our journey continues with the themes of contact,
colonisation, assimilation and change
when we look at the stories of how artists in Japan, Korea and China have
adapted to influences from contact with
new ideas, new beliefs and different customs
that came ‘out of the West’.
However, this has
certainly not been a one way flow. We
will be looking at richly documented evidence of art making traditions in these
countries which are at least as old – older in recorded history - as those of Europe. We will identify the European fascination for
things Chinese in the 17th century
(Chinoiserie) and, in the 19th
century, the phenomenal effects of
Japanese decoration and ways of picturing which influenced such artists as
Edouard Manet, Mary Cassatt, Paul Gauguin and Maurice Denis, to mention
only a few. We know this fashion as ‘Japonisme’. This continues. Two new Zealand artists who engage with, and
have learned from, the contemporary
Japanese art world are Graham Bennett and Michael Reed, amongst others.
Today the exchange of artists and their ideas between Asian
countries and those colonised by, in
the first instance European culture and, later, the North American commercial mainstream has brought about a market driven
visual art culture with a consequent ‘dumbing down’ of the self
knowledge and reflective practice which is necessary if art is to have a
meaningful place in our lives.
However, when we
look at the struggle in Maoist China for civil liberties over the past 70 years
we find an extraordinarily vital art scene.
One of Peter Belton’s mentor teachers, who came from a traumatised
Europe after 1945, said: ‘No country will ever produce great art until
they have known what it is like to be occupied by a foreign power’. We might add the suppression of civil
liberties such as China experienced during a barbaric imposed ‘Cultural Revolution’ (1966-76)
as being a similar case. Today
we look to China for proof that art survives in the most challenging of
circumstances.

relation to the Question set. Student demonstrates a good level of
understanding of subject matter and no significant gaps or weaknesses are
evident. Student is able to identify and give some explanation of key
ideas and events in relation to historical context

|
3 carefully observed and accurate sketches in which media is used
effectively to record surface detail and effects such as ‘wear’.
Information correctly identifies
the object and explains its use.
|
|
Look at the whole exhibition space and ask how effectively the
objects have been positioned, lit and, significantly, grouped to best signal
a context and use.
|
|
Alternative Ways!
Here you should go online and look at images of Museum presentations
of ethnic (not necessarily Maori) artefacts.
And, You should look at other ways of presenting , outside the
confines of a room.
This might include sites for live demonstrations, replicated Pa
settings and interactive media.
