1          AIMS
 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.

           2        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
·  Evaluated the significance of practices emerging within specific historic, cultural, geographic and social contexts
·  Identified ways in which cultural and social change have contributed to developments in art practice in the Pacific
     
2.2       Explored relevance and impact of specific contexts on own practice
·         Explored own practice within specific historic, cultural, geographic and social contexts
·         Critically analysed traditions and influences of contemporary practices pertinent to own practice
·         Identified and articulated relevance of specific practitioner’s work in context to own practice

2.3       Explored and analysed influence of specific contents through practical exploration
·         Explored relevance of specific contexts through practical exploration
·         Understood and employed practice-based research methodologies to practical exploration
·         Reflected and articulated relevance of contexts through practice-based exploration

2.4       Utilised journaling as a research method
·           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.

What is looked for.
Identify and Explain.
Tutor’s comment.

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.

Sappho

Artist: Julia Margaret Cameron (British (born India), Calcutta 1815–1879 Kalutara, Ceylon)
Date: 1865
Medium: Albumen silver print from glass negative
Dimensions: 35 x 27.3 cm (13 3/4 x 10 3/4 in. )

Credit Line: The Rubel Collection, Purchase, Jennifer and Joseph Duke and Anonymous Gifts, 1997

Description

Mary Hillier, a beautiful young house servant at Dimbola, Cameron's home in Freshwater, was often pressed into photographic service, frequently in the role of the Virgin Mary. She managed to assume her various guises in a remarkably unselfconscious way, projecting both gentleness and strength of character. Hillier is also the model for Cameron's Sappho, a profile portrait in the Florentine Quattrocento style, perhaps inspired by the chromolithographic reproductions of Italian paintings distributed by the Arundel Society, of which Cameron was a member. The image has great presence, so much so that Cameron decided to print it even though she broke the negative. Precisely what the picture has to do with the Greek poet of Lesbos is unclear, especially since Cameron inscribed another print of the same image Adriana. The titles of two close variants reveal that, by looking left instead of right, Hillier was apparently transformed from Sappho into Dora or, when photographed from one step further back, Clio. Although Cameron often set out to portray a certain ideal, she also titled pictures after the fact, sometimes because the image seemed to embody the character of a certain literary or biblical figure, but sometimes, one suspects, quite simply because there was more of a market for images of the Virgin, Sappho, or Christabel than for portraits of the photographer's niece or a parlor maid from the Isle of Wight.

Maori Art: Traditional practices.   Student reporting to be illustrated.
(all bold text  identifies proper nouns which require further investigation)

Wharenui / Wharewhakairo: meeting house.  See attached page.
Identify:  Iwi, Hapu and Whanau                                                                                                                                         

Whakairo:  is a generic  (as in ‘family’ or group)  term  covering  all carving on wood, stone, bone and human flesh.   
This encompasses the telling of stories/myths and the transmission of tribal memory found in the decoration of  wharenui  large meeting houses  also known as wharewhakairo (carved houses).
Other applications of carving on wood (usually Totara)  include waka (canoes); gateways to Pa  (fortified vilages);  pataka (food store houses); burial caskets (hollowed tree trunks for the protection and preservation of bones);  patu (clubs);  taiaha  ( combination of fighting stick and spear);   waka huia (small caskets made for the preservation of huia feathers which serve as a sign of status).    See attached page (3).

Student report,  Wharenui:     

Student report:  Waka:           

Student report: Bone caskets:

Moko (tattoo) also comes under the classification of whakairo.    The elements (parts) of moko could be read as  signifiers.        Think of moko as being rather like a coat of arms in another culture.        The elements (parts) were arranged strictly according to protocol so that the wearer’s Iwi (‘Nation’ group affiliated to one of the seven founding canoe voyages), status as with Ariki  (High Chief: aristocrat),  Tohunga (Seer, priest and teacher)   or Rangitira  ( leader  in action.  Second tier nobility) could be read and this sometimes included allusion to function such as a  Tohunga being a specialist in whakairo,  or as a healer with medicines.   For men,  Moko was/is applied over the whole face;   for women Moko was/is generally applied to the top lips, chin and (rarely) as a diamond shape on the forehead.   There are accounts of Ariki women having had  a half face Moko. 

Student report, Male Moko:    

Student report, Female Moko: 

Kowhaiwhai: is the term given to painted wood surfaces.   Pigments were mixed with fish oil to give some permanence and to fix colour onto a surface.  Traditional colours used were black (charcoal),   ‘brick’  red and yellow ochre (natural earth colours ) and white clay.
The most common site for finding  Kowhaiwhai  in early wharenui was on the rafters (ribs) of the house.    Each rafter had a linear trajectory of repeating design elements which presented as  a ‘reflected’  pattern (sometimes also with an inversion.)
The best description of  Kowhaiwahi  painting depicting the  cosmological  concept of  Utu (the cycles of life:   balancing and returning)  is to be found in  Alan Hanson’s  essay on Kowhaiwhai  in Sidney (Hirini) Mead’s book:   The Art and Artists of Oceana.(1996).   Available: SIT library.
The repeating patterns were given names such as, for example:  (swimming)  Pataka (flounder) and Kowhai (tree flowers): elements familiar in the natural world given a metaphysical value.
At a later time Kowhaiwhai was/is also found in wharekai (eating house).

Student report: Kowhaiwhai.  

Tukutuku: is the name given to the traditiuon of making decorated (patterned) wall panels which were/are located between the  Pou   (upright wood pillars which support the painted rafters).       Tukutuku were made by tying a horizontal layer of finely split totara rods over a vertical wall  of  toetoe  (which can be escribed as a giant tussock grass; it has a spectacular ‘horsetail’ flower.);    using pingao  ( a flexible native grass) or keikei cords. ( Keikei is a perching plant, an epithite, found in trees. )  The pattern established by tying the  horizontal rods onto the vertical  toetoe  will present us with striking geometric designs.   These were given such evocative names as  ‘stairway to Heaven’; swimming flounder and  ‘Thousand Stars’.                                           Traditionally, Tukutuku was womens’ work.


Student report:,  Tukutuku:  


Taniko: is the generic name given to the decoration of Korowhai (cloak) edges and can also be found on other garments such as the belt of piupiu  (traditional grass skirts)  
The patterns have a geometric appearance not dissimilar to Tukutuku.
Taniko was originally made using finely processed and shredded flax (Harakeke) which was then finger woven.
In post (European) contact time taniko  has also been made using  spun wool and  cotton yarn.    This enabled an extension in the colour range to include colours  such as blue (found in Nelson,  Whakatu  Marae)  and green.
Traditionally,  Taniko was  womens’ work.

Student report, taniko: 

Raranga:   is  the generic name given to the practice of weaving harakeke (flax)  to make Kete (baskets),   rope (Aho),  sandals and  Kupenga  (fish nets, and eel traps.) as well as rain capes.
Women made kete and  other clothing from flax. The making of fishing gear was, however, regarded as a  Tapu  activity and was, therefore, the responsibility of men.

Student must report on other words we frequently come across:

Marae;      
Powhiri;      
Tangata  Whenua;      Manihiri;    
Tapu and Noa;
