North American Indian Arts (Golden Guide)

Rating:
Summary: Very nice resource on Native American Arts
Review: Detailed drawings depict types and qualities of the multitudes of crafts of varying tribes. As an artist, it is important to see the finishing details of clothing and basket weaves, etc., such as how the pueblo wind their boots around their legs and tie them, or the type of weaving patterns in their clothing. There are many illustrations of tools, potteries, weapons, etc., how they were made and how to identify between the various tribes and time periods, identifying the various cultures as well. Very descriptive narratives. This is a simple, usable and thorough resource. Very interesting. Good for children and adults alike.
