Subject Matter and Kaupapa
 |
(Left) Dull, dark painting. The dark background makes it hard for the person to be clearly seen because the skin colour of the subject has the same dark tone. (Right) It uses bright, vivid colours where the subject can be clearly seen.
Theme: Recognition of people. Left painting is harder to be recognised because of its colour tone of background and skin colour but the white coat shows it deserves to be recognised due to its position or actions while it was still alive. The white flower shows that the person is already dead. Right painting has a brighter colours which demonstrates how the subject is being clearly recognised with pride. The vivid colours and high contrast shows the bright life of the young person and the flower illustrates it's bright, blossoming future ahead. |
 |
| Left has a calm conquest over death and RIght expresses a painful, suffering death. Left painting used bright vivid colours while Right has monochromatic tones which sets negative mood/ambience of the whole setting, expressing so much sorrow and suffering. The background of the left painting is rich in life with waters and trees while the left painting has drought and dry land showing no life at all. |
 |
(Left) It shows pride in the culture shown by the up straight posture of the bird and the designs on the bird's painting.
