A TIKI is a human-like figure that represents an ancient god in some Polynesian cultures. TIKIS are often carved out of wood (similar to a totem in Native American cultures) and is seen to give strength and good luck to the family it is protecting. Below are some examples of Hawaiian TIKIS.
Notice the exaggerated features and distortions of the face. We will be doing reductive techniques (carving, removing material) and additive techniques (putting material on) in clay. Below are some clay examples.
