    Description
    In this course, students will explore Native American societies, their worldviews, practices, and oral traditions as expressed in their art forms. Topics such as ceramics, basketry, textiles, woodcarving, leather works, monumental architecture, and others will be studied using cultural aspects of symbolism, ritual, gender, social structure, and landscape relationships. Emphasis on the transformation of traditional objects into world art market commodities is an additional aspect of study.
