My awareness about traditional Coast Salish has significantly increased through this project. I have learned about the different elements in art work, as well as the meaning behind each shape. Now, every time I see a Coast Salish artwork, I will know the different elements that are included and the deeper meaning behind the drawing. Before this project, I simply thought that the shapes inside these animals were random and only used to fill in the space. I now realize there is much meaning in each line and shape which I will never unsee.
