7. Introduction Role of the artist: People were not thought of as artists, but some were just better at it than others. Fine craftsmanship was acknowledged but it was not a way of life. Design: Natural forms were their main design influence, but others were more geometric patterns. They were often developed from “vision quests”, which was a mysterious journey where it was thought the soul would separate from the physical body.

8. Function The art objects were always to perform a service and were made with a purpose other than art. Often, they were for religious purpose, but it depended on the region of Native Americans because different regions had their own cultures. Some like the Plains Indians had a more dominant warrior culture while the Maya had a more religion governed society so their art was influenced by what influenced them the most. It was also made to record ritual or to please a deity (religious figure).

9. Materials Mainly natural to their homeland region, so the art reflected the environment in which they lived. – For example, if they lived in a highly forested area they sculpted wood, if they lived in the grasslands they mainly wove baskets. – There is no natural medium (material) that was not used or explored. The difference between Western art and Native American art was that the Western artist usually imposed a design on the artificially limited surface, while the Native American artist adapted their design to the natural form of their materials depending on what that material was. This made the Native American artists what we would call a naturalist.
