Coast Salish Artwork

> How has your awareness of Coast Salish Art in our community changed?

This assignment has taught me the cultural significances in Coast Salish art. I learnt about specific shapes to use and their meanings; how they are arranged on the artwork, specifically how circles are put at animal joints; how the artists utilize colors and oil from nature; and the importance of a black silhouette. I also learnt to not overcrowd the animal with images, as the point of these artworks is to convey importance subtly but effectively.  Overall, this assignment had given me an insightful view into a new culture.
