Pacific Art refers to the diverse artistic traditions of the islands in the Pacific Ocean, including regions like Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. This art encompasses various forms, such as sculpture, painting, textiles, and ceremonial objects, often reflecting the cultural beliefs and practices of the indigenous peoples. Many Pacific artworks are created using natural materials, such as wood, stone, and shells, and often feature intricate designs and symbolism. Notable examples include Tapa cloth from Fiji and Maori carvings from New Zealand. These art forms serve not only aesthetic purposes but also play significant roles in rituals and community identity.
