New Zealand art includes traditional Māori art forms such as wood carving, tattooing (ta moko), weaving, and painting that originated from Polynesian styles. Traditional Māori art was highly spiritual and used in a pre-literate society. Styles varied regionally but featured designs in red, black, and white colors. Ta moko referred to the traditional art of Māori tattooing done with chisels that was mainly on the face and arms for men and lips and chins for women. While painting and carving (using wood, bone, and greenstone) were important art forms, European colonization introduced new styles and mediums in the 19th century. Contemporary New Zealand art
