Northwest Indigenous Arts: Creative Colors 2 is the second in the Northwest Indigenous Arts Series and is a compelling exploration of the rich artistic traditions of the Northwest Indigenous communities. Authored by Robert E. Stanley Sr., this coloring book serves as both an educational tool and a creative outlet, featuring 20 templates and line drawings inspired by an authentic indigenous artist. It delves into the cultural significance of real and legendary creatures revered by the West Coast indigenous communities, offering readers a unique opportunity to engage with and learn about these traditions through art. Born in the small village of Gingolx: in British Columbia, Stanley brings a personal and authentic perspective to this work, inviting readers to discover the vibrant heritage and artistic expressions of Northwest Native peoples. Like the companion book "Northwest Native Arts: Creative Colors 1" this book is designed and written as a child's coloring book, this too gives a good overview of the symbology and importance to the Pacific North West Indians of each of the animals selected to "color" in. The legend in the front of the book explains the color scheme(s) and provides an outline of each animal on the following pages for a child to color. It gives wonderful examples of the artwork for a child to learn a bit about these symbols. However; if you are looking for an in-depth analysis of the symbology of the Northwest Indian arts or a "how-to" book, this would not be a good book for you. I wish I had known this was a "coloring book" before I bought it as I would have passed it over for something more detailed!
