Ngā Kakano - The Seeds (1 Jan 900 Jahr – 1 Jan 1200 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

New Zealand Art history is usually grouped in stylistic periods. It begins with the first arrivals and what items and tāonga were brought through to Aotearoa from the Pacific.

He kākano period refers to the term ‘ the seeds’ sown from Rangiātea in which early artforms were functional and developed in the adaptation of new settlement. Evidence suggests that this period of style and development was largely based on natural forms such as whale niho and geometric symbols brought from the Pacific. Of this time early art forms of waka, toki, moa adornment and matau are part of this period.

Another development to note in the Pacific was pottery by the Lapita people (1200 – 500BC). Lapita Pots are intricately designed and were functional vessels for cooking and drinking. Pottery examples tell us the Lapita Pot moved from East Asia and into the Pacific where this could be found in Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. Though this did not reach Aotearoa, Lapita Pottery is evidence of prehistoric migration in the Pacific.
