Oceanic Art refers to the artistic traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Islands, including regions like Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. This art encompasses a variety of forms, including sculpture, painting, textiles, and ceremonial objects, often reflecting the cultural beliefs and practices of the communities. Many Oceanic artworks are created using natural materials such as wood, shell, and fiber. They often serve functional purposes, such as in rituals or daily life, while also conveying spiritual and social meanings. Notable examples include Tapa cloth, carved canoes, and ancestor figures, which highlight the rich heritage of these island cultures.
