Which do you prefer?

Imagine two paintings:
Bold art is like a party! It's full of bright colors, strong lines, and maybe even some wild patterns. It grabs your attention and makes you feel something strong. Think of a painting with a big, red splash across it or a portrait with thick, black outlines.

Clean and simple art is like a quiet morning. It uses fewer colors, smoother lines, and maybe just a few shapes. It's calming and lets you focus on the main idea. Think of a painting with a single, white flower on a black background or a minimalist sculpture made of smooth, rounded shapes.

Bold art is loud and exciting, while clean and simple art is calm and understated.

Think of tāniko and raranga as two different ways Māori weave with harakeke (flax) fibers.
Tāniko is a flat, patterned weaving, often used for borders on cloaks or for decorative panels. It's like a fancy tapestry with intricate designs.

Raranga, on the other hand, is a three-dimensional weaving, often used for baskets, mats, or hats. Imagine weaving a basket with flexible, strong flax fibers.

So, tāniko is flat and decorative, while raranga is three-dimensional and functional.

Which do you prefer?

Minimalist art is all about simplicity and reduction. It uses basic shapes, colors, and materials to create a sense of calmness and focus. Think of a white canvas with a single, bold line or a sculpture made of simple geometric forms.

Maximalist art, on the other hand, embraces abundance and excess. It uses intricate details, vibrant colors, and a variety of textures to create a sense of richness and excitement. Imagine a painting overflowing with patterns, textures, and objects, or a room bursting with colour and decoration.

Minimalism is about stripping away, while maximalism is about embracing everything.
