Vol 1 is Great; Vol 1 Plus Vol 2 is Greater,
By Theseus "theseus" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Learning by Design: Pacific Northwest Coast Native Indian Art (Paperback)
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
