Learning the Basic Forms of Northwest Native Arts

Unlike the companion books "Northwest Native Arts: Creative Colors 1 & 2" this is NOT a child's coloring book! This book gives detailed instructions on how to draw the ovoids, the "u", the split "u", the "L" and the "S" shapes needed to create artwork like the Northwest Coast Native American artisans do. If you are looking for a down and dirty "how-to" book, this is a good place to start. However; if you are looking for an in-depth analysis of the symbology of the Northwest Indian arts this would not be a good book for you.
