This class introduces students to different kinds of traditional arts in Hawai`i - kapa (bark cloth), mats, feather work, three-dimensional images, neck pendants, etc. For each type of art, lectures will review traditional examples with pictures and a discussion of manufacturing and styles. Current artists will visit the class and present basic information on art form manufacture and styles. Museum collections will also be visited. The goals of this class are: 1) to introduce students to different types of traditional arts in Hawai`i; 2) to introduce students to some of the current artists still practicing these arts; 3) to introduce students to some of the more public collections of traditional arts; and 4) to enable the student to research and learn more details about one type of art through a class research paper.
