This week we have studied about how art is an expressive medium and in numerous ways it elicits emotions and feelings that can and should be respectfully treated. The spectrum of art is huge and can be both for practical functions and beyond. The tattooed Maori head is a symbol of the practice among the Maori people who preserved the heads of the warriors as a mark of respect and in their honor as a memory to keep them alive, but with the emergence of the human body arts trade, the heads of the warriors became a source for exploitation, as Europeans would often kill them for sale or even tattooed the heads of the Maori slaves so that it could be used commercially.
