Types of Maori Art
Types of Maori Art
Sourced from Wikipedia
Māori visual art has four main forms: carving (whakairo), tattooing (ta moko), weaving (raranga), and painting (peita). These are not normally just for decoration; traditional Māori art was highly spiritual and would tell stories or information about spiritual matters, ancestry, and other important topics. The creation of art was governed by the rules of tapu (sacred spiritual and cultural rules and restrictions).
Carving
Carving was done with three materials: wood, bone, and stone. Wood carvings were used to decorate houses, fence poles, containers, taiaha and other objects. The most popular type of stone used in carving was pounamu (greenstone), a form of jade, but other kinds were also used, especially in the North Island, where pounamu was not widely available. Both stone and bone were used to create jewellery such as the hei-tiki. Large scale stone face carvings were also sometimes created. The introduction of metal tools by Europeans allowed more intricacy and delicacy, and caused stone and bone fish hooks and other tools to become purely decorative.
Ta moko
Ta moko is the art of traditional Maori tattooing, done with a chisel. Men were tattooed on many parts of their bodies, including faces, buttocks and thighs. Women were usually tattooed only on the lips and chin. Moko conveyed a person's ancestry. The art declined in the 19th century following the introduction of Christianity, but in recent decades has undergone a revival. Although modern moo are in traditional styles, most are carried out using modern equipment (a tattoo pen instead of a chisel). Body parts such as the arms, legs and back are popular locations for modern moo, although some are still on the face.
Weaving
Weaving was used to create numerous things, including wall panels in meeting houses and other important buildings, as well as clothing and bags (kite). While many of these were purely to use as bags, others were true works of art, taking hundreds of hours to complete, and often given as gifts.
Cloaks in particular could be decorated with feathers and were the mark of an important chief.
The extinction and endangerment of many of New Zealand birds made the feather cloak a more difficult item to produce.
Painting
Although the oldest forms of Maori art are rock paintings, in 'classical' Maori art, painting was not an important art form. It was mainly used as a minor decoration in meeting houses, in stylised forms such as the Kory. Europeans introduced Maori to their more figurative style of art, and in the 19th century less stylised depictions of people and plants began to appear on the walls of meeting houses in place of traditional carvings and woven panels.

Who are the Māori people?
Who are the Māori people?
Sourced from Te Ara
The Māori people of Aotearoa (New Zealand) are descendants of Polynesian peoples who settled in New Zealand over 700 years ago.
Historians and tribal elders often debate the exact date and the number of waka that travelled here, and again there is much discussion and debate about precisely where these ancestors came from. Some argue that they made their way from Rarotonga in the Cook Islands group; others say they left from Raiatea, in the Society Islands. There are some similarities in language that suggest a link between the people of these islands and New Zealand.
According to oral tradition (sharing and retelling history through storytelling), some canoes landed on the East Coast of the North Island. Whangaparāoa, at the very eastern tip of the Bay of Plenty, is often called the ‘landing place of numerous canoes’, including the famous Tainui and Te Arawa. Another canoe, Mataatua, made its landing at the mouth of the Whakatāne River.
Early settlements were often at harbours or the mouths of rivers – close to the sea, with good access to fishing and shellfish grounds. There was extensive hunting of seals and the large flightless bird, the moa.
Pre-European Māori culture was oral, and tribal histories were passed down generation and generation, these were based on whanau, tribes, ancestors, and the land.
Art, Tattoos and carvings became another very important way to tell these stories. Often a carving could represent important tribal histories, or symbols of great stories and legends. Tattoo (or Tā moko) was another way for people to carry these stories with them, and honour them.
