Tiki statues have been around for hundreds of years. They have their roots in Polynesian culture. They are most prominently found in the Pacific Islands, New Zealand, Hawaii and the most famous Tikis tower over Easter Island. They were thought to be the heads of special gods and ancient ancestors that were erected to protect the people from disasters such as Typhoons, droughts, disease, and volcanoes. The smaller icons were worn as personal protectors and good luck charms. (Remember the Brady Bunch trip to Hawaii?) Tikis usually featured a human head carved from wood or volcanic rock. The large cylindrical shape of the trees formed their basic shape. All of the features are exaggerated especially the nose and mouth. Most ancient Tikis have little painted decoration. They differ from Totem poles because they lack the presence of animals and the intention of telling a story or representing a group of people. We created our tikis by sketching our ideas on to brown paper with white chalk. Heavy layers of construction paper crayons with black outlines made out tikis come to life. We added faux wood grain to give them visual texture.

Tiki with a twist from the Midnight Mona Lisa. Like the use of texture and color blending.
