Pottery project - homework help, please please help!?

May 19, 2008 by Koffee | Posted in Homework Help

I'm doing a native american indian art project for pottery, and chosen to do BIRDS and TOTEM POLES. I've been searching for some useful websites but haven't found much.
Could you help me, with some information about birds/totem poles? Especially

Totem poles are an ancient tradition of the Indian tribes of the Pacific Northwest Coast--Washington state in the USA, British Columbia in Canada--and some of the Athabaskan tribes of southern Alaska.

APNewsbreak: Wyoming tribe that received first bald eagle permit presses ...

21.05.12

Many American Indian leaders nationwide and those in the Northern Arapaho tribe initially hailed the permit decision as a victory for native sovereignty and native religions, which the federal government actively suppressed well into the last century.

However, in an amended lawsuit filed against the government Friday, the Arapaho Tribe takes issue with the permit provision that would require tribal members to kill eagles off the Wind River Reservation. The tribe states that the state of Wyoming prohibits killing eagles off the reservation while the federal permit itself requires adherence to state law.

“Any tribal member taking an eagle pursuant to the March 9, 2012, permit is subject to arrest and prosecution by the State of Wyoming, whether the take occurs on federal, state or other lands “ tribal attorney Andy Baldwin and his associates wrote in the amended complaint.

A spokeswoman for the Fish and Wildlife Service in Denver said the agency had no comment on the tribe’s amended complaint because the issue is in litigation.

The Art of Storytelling: Telling Stories in Art from Ancient to ...

by admin

In other words, storytelling in art is communication and today’s artists are merely carrying on the tradition of using art, rather than words, in the same manner that our ancestors did over 10,000 years ago. The Chauvet-Pont d’Arc Cave are a prime example of some of the earliest examples of storytelling art. The more connection you feel with your subject matter or message, the higher the likelihood that your painting will successfully portray the subject or deliver your message. Although you don’t often hear it expressed as plainly in art classes, the same principles holds true. As in all ornamented Paleolithic caves, these paintings are primarily geometric symbols and animals....
