Coast Salish design philosophy is quite interesting A lot of motifs originate from nature and the alternating positive-negative elements is kinda like yin and yang
Comment from : @stevenzheng5459

Coast Salish design is less formal than Northern style ,it's still formline and should have a swelling and contration as it flows and turns through the desiggn , much like,a river as a analegy Good video What is important to point out is at what point in history examples are taken from What media is the form created in A greater understanding of the form line design is happening, even for me One thing that can be said is that the scale at which a design has a lot to do with its strength when reproducing and or refining the design In the end it is art,beautiful and complicated in its deceptively simple presentation

My name is Tammy and I found your video as I was trying to find videos about Coast Salish beading I’m learning about my grandmothers and their sons - from Mayne and Galiano Islands My grandmothers lost their status marrying Europeans, but what they didn’t lose was their stories and skills My grandmothers taught their sons how to bead and I only recently learned this I am going to work to learn beading but I see from this video of yours I must also understand the shapes and how to use them This is an older video of yours but I hope you see this Thank you

I love learning about how our people perceived the world through our art and language, thank you for helping make another connection to that for me Have a good day, thanks again

Awesome vid
Comment from : @roman2011

Finding this ten years after it was posted but it is always relevant As a Tlingit learning my own style of formline I can truly appreciate this video for showing solid differences between our art style and yours I love the water ripple analogy, it is eye opening to how the design works I love the differences between the positive and negative spaces between our art styles also Gunalchéesh

I'd like to suggest the Salish symbol is what is featured in this months Vimy crop circle It also dominates sumerian written works carved into sumerian plaques

Comment from : @Andrewpittsfurnituremaker

Super helpful, thank you! Your video has been the only example that I have found to explain the basic elements
Comment from : @jcsmoove7396

Nice nice Thanks
Comment from : @ibizasikotribe

If you are creating something with predetermined shapes you are doing graphic design, which may turn into Art or, like most, just a pleasing, vacuous image Now I understand why this culture's images all are so similar looking: a template of variations of repetition There are brilliant Musqueam artists like Susan Point, however, who have taken personal control of these shapes She shapes the shapes according to her imagination Her designs are Art

Great video, thanks!
Comment from : @jwbeaton

Wow, making the connection between Coast Salish painting, and wood carving is so perfect Its intuitive, but my eyes didnt see it Now I can't unsee it! Thank you! thank you! Thank You!
Comment from : @RandHunt

Thank you! You make excellent points very clearly Once you point out the patterns based on low relief carving it makes perfect sense With the tremendous popularity of Salish art it is surprising how little information is posted about it
Comment from : @mossyclimber7900

the unknown has become unknown ,,,,,not knowing who my biological father is I had this desire to do the southeast style of art work after 64 years of research and 2 DNA test have come to find out I belong to the thunderbird clan from my biological father ,,,was inherited from through the dna amazing and have come to apprec more than ever the southeast style of art work

The greatest complexities stem from the greatness of simplicity that is genius All the best to you :)
Comment from : @JamieHumeCreative

Thank you -- this was really interesting Do you know if anyone has ever done a typeface based on Northwest Coast design forms? (I know Coast Salish isn't strictly the same as the more widely known Haida/Tlingit/Kwakiutl art)
Comment from : @donatist59

Wonderful video I'm an illustrator, not native, living in BC and grew up in the Yukon Surrounded by this art my whole life and it has always inspired me I'm working on a piece that uses a bit of Coast Salish in it and I was curious about the lexicon used I've always called the trigons 'whale tails' because they reminded me of the Orca's tail, and the ovoid shapes seemed to me to be inspired by the Orca markings
Comment from : @shishkeblob

wow that was really well explained !thanx!
Comment from : @kingshiddy

I`m not a coast Salish artist I come from the northern style, this is the first time I really understand the elements of the Salish designs This is a great video Thanks for sharing
Comment from : @MrRedshadowX

Thanks Dustin I am currently in an Native American Art class at Northwest Indian College and find myself struggling with the terminology Your video is very helpful and just what I needed to help make a connection with the terminology to the actual piece of the art I have one more question: What is "formline"?
Comment from : @N8V25

Hych-ka for posting this wonderful piece Exactly what I was looking for to understandthe roots of our artistic tradition Qwaant
Comment from : @northernsalishwoman

Thank you for posting this! I am a Grade 4/5 teacher in BC and use Aboriginal art while teaching our Social Studies curriculum Though I live in Coast Salish territory, I focus on the use of formline by BC's coastal peoples because I struggle with explaining why Salish art is so different from the rest of the province And since I am not Aboriginal, I do not have many resources available to answer my questions So I thank you again, and hope that I can use your video during future lessons
Comment from : @beckygreenhow

Thanks Dustin Most important in posting this video to me was to open a door for dialogue I know today we use positive and negative to talk about the work but it's just words to convey ideas Too often I see Salish artists take other styles and adapt them to appear Salish This undermines our culture and ancestors achievements I was upset reading essays over the years that focus on what Salish art lacks when in fact the bias of most writers in those cases had no qualifications to judge us by
