Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous style assignment #2

In an effort to connect to an indigenous perspective on animal nature you are invited to give this particular Indigenous style of art making a try.  You have followed the former video that taught you to draw a salmon trout head using the traditional formlines and forms.  Now see if you can use those methods to design the animal that you have sculpted.  Here is another video to help you with some basic body part designs.  After watching the video do your best to recreate your  animal in this style of art making.

After drawing your animal in Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous style you should reflect on the experience of representing an animal in this way and how it is different from the way that you represented it with clay.
