American Indian Art
By looking at the materials, forms and visual language in American Indian art, students will gain insight into the daily life, culture and customs of North American Native peoples in the Woodlands, Plains, Southwest, Northwest Coast and Arctic regions.
The diversity among Native American cultures, due in large part to geographic region, will be explored. Art by contemporary American Indian artists, whose work references tradition, will reinforce the point that these are living cultures.
