I've used this series to teach design, carving and painting. The books are easy to follow with excellent illustrations and great teaching tools. My thanks to the authors for helping us pass along our heritage! [...]

So these blurbs on the back of Vol 2 explain some of the differences between Volumes 1 and 2 and how they complement each other...

"With Volume 1 laying a solid foundation of the methods, traditions, and disciplines of Northwest Coast Native art, Volume 2 brings the contemporary human touch by showing modern treatment of the art, giving it life through Native Elders and teachers...." - Ron Stacy

"I am even more impressed with this volume than the last. It offers so many new tools and insights that allow one to create imaginative and lively designs that incorporate the numerous elements of the artform. The carver in me got really excited by what I found.... The patterns are beautiful and the combinations almost endless..." - W.F. Judt

"I loved the interviews with a First Nations family [in Volume 2.] Getting their input was wonderful. I also loved the comparisons between the four separate styles of design. Very educational and very informative." - Brad Bigelow

This is the second book of a pair that is very good both from history and applied design techniques.... an Excellent book on the subject of Northwest Coast Native Art. Lots of examples and background information.

An excellent book for one interested in Northwest Coast native art.Covers a wide range of design. Something for everyone from beginner to expert.
