Subject:

Description:

The arts of Polynesia, Micronesia and Melanesia express a concept of the world that came to an end for most cultures in the Pacific in the 19th century, certainly by the early 20th century. Spectacular in form and complex in meaning, they range from art forms associated with centralized leadership to those associated with men's societies, esoteric knowledge and status enhancement. Emphasis will be placed on the stylistic relationships between island groupings and the contexts in which the varying arts are employed. Prerequisite: ART 315 or permission of instructor. 3 hrs
