PRIMITVISM - Concept of Art | Tate

These works have had a deep influential effect on contemporary West European arts. Picasso's discoveries of Afro-tribe arts around 1906 were an important influential force in his paintings in general and were an important element that led him to the era of Cubism. Also primitivism means the quest for a more simple and simple way of living away from westerly urbane refinement and inequalities.

A classical example of this is the move of Paul Gauguin from Paris to Tahiti in the South Pacific in 1891. Because of the interest and esteem of these artists, what was once referred to as primary arts is now regarded as equivalent to West European arts and the word primary is either omitted or put in paras.

Dealing with the Sea in Pacific Art - Video & Lesson Transcript

If you were living in the middle of nature, what kind of skill would you make? We' ll teach you how the ocean affects Pacific arts. Archipelagos of the Pacific Ocean are living in the midst of waters, and this has influenced their arts and minds.

The surrounding waters make these archipelagos susceptible to the rage of Mother Earth. Remember how small you are when you look at all this running turbo. The word seaic is often used to describe Pacific arts, which often focus on the sea. Ocean icons, in the widest possible meaning, are works of artwork made by the Pacific Islanders, Australia and New Zealand among them.

The scientists are identifying three major geographical areas within the Pacific Islands: Polynesia, with 1000 isles in the Middle and South Pacific, Micronesia, which comprises 2500 isles between Hawaii and Japan, and Melanesia, the northern and eastern isles of Australia, where more than 1200 different tongues are used! While these three large areas of human beings have sometimes interact with each other and may have acted or fought at different points in their histories, each group has general culture characteristics that characterize them.

At all events, their civilization was distributed by means of the waters, as it was their primary means of transport and a place to find forage. There was also divide between the nations, many of which may never have gotten beyond their houses on the islands. In consequence, the notion of the ocean penetrated their life and appears in subjects created with a spiritual or cultural ceremony use.

Easter Island humans had a deity with an Albatros bill as an outstanding characteristic. Pictures of different types of fishing such as hake could also be found on ceremony items. Essential items such as boats were often adorned with pictures and woodcarvings. The Pacific islanders used the available material on confined area.

Humans used to carve carvings from rocks and sometimes also from timber (if available), made carvings of carvings, as well as carvings of carvings of masks und suits, including scarfs, birds' nibs and shells. Let's take a closer look at a few of them. The Pacific had to rely on the ocean to get from place to place, so they had to know how to get into their canoe or get from one place to another in safety.

On the Marshall Isle Micronesia, navigation maps were created showing the location of the islands as well as waves and swells. The cards were built from nature fibres, chopsticks, coconut bowls and bowls. Elderly yachtsmen used these cards to instruct the next generations, and everyone learned the information they contained by heart. Maps were not taken along on journeys, but stored for prospective yachtsmen.
