Artist's Comments

Fifth project for my art class. I've been looking at NW Native American style art and decided to design then carve a totem pole. This is the design part, and the carving will come later.

Each of these animals represents one person in my immediate family.

Animals from top down:
Orca, Beaver, Frog, Raccoon, Goat, Bear.

The original is really tiny, smaller even than the full view. :/

oh wow! It really looks totally awesome :O
I really love, like the animals are done in tribial style!
I especially love the beaver :heart: I think he looks cute :P
:iconxeloten-xelet:
very nice

So what kind of school/class do you go to that teaches you this style?

Yeah, the beaver was lots of fun.

Thank you!

I'm in an International Baccalaureate art class at my high school. It's basically independent study; we choose a thesis and then do about ten projects relating to that throughout the year. I researched this style from books provided by my teacher since it relates to my thesis (connections between animals).
