Art Alive!

This is my art work from diffrent cultures called Maroi,Niuean,Samoan,Tongan,Cook island.

My fisrt picture is called a koru the reason why i did this is that it can be used for cavring and other as well.

Second one is a niuean that pattern is barkcloth and that has nice pattrens on it.

The thrid one is a samoan pattren that is called a Fa'a 'anufe / Worm This symbol is found in earlier works of Siapo, however, it is seldom used and has almost become extinct.

Fourth one is called a Amoamokofe - Meaning rubbing with a bamboo stick.

And the lucky last one is a Cook island pattren.
