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.

I'm still so small in the greater world. Thank you so much for what you did. ❤ your work.

Beautiful peace of cedar. Your incredable and a inspiration. Thanks . Your showing me new ways and skills.

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.

Kiaora! I'm a Tangata Whenua, " People of the Land," native of New Zealand. I see similarities between your culture and stories told in carving. We too have no written language, therefore history was told in carving, patterns related to our view of creation and our relationship to our environment. I find it very intriguing not only in its physical but spiritual connections and values. Thanks for sharing. Nga mihi.

Thank you. This helps Indigenous art come alive.

I'm not a Seahawks fan but this is a very cool redesign. It would be nice to see you partner with the team

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.

this shit is fire bro, keep it up

What a beautiful, calming, and enlightening video. Thank you for sharing. ❤

More please! Is it illegal to use a cnc?

That was awesome

Id love to hear the first makers discuss their design decisions.

Very nice video HÍSWḴE SIÁM ! Watching in 2022

This was awesome, i’ve always loved west coast art. I only just learned that the shapes of form line are the major shapes of the art asuch as a trigon. Is that a computer program?

this is epic

That was awesome! Thanks man.

This is brilliant and so amazing in every sense of the meaning (artful, heartfelt, and knowledgeable)! I am so grateful to you for creating and sharing!

Thank you so much for this video. It is so informative and allows me to sense feel and appreciate the design elements that I am eager to do with my students. Thank you a million times thank you for sharing!

Nice video ❤️👍amazing❤️👍👍😱👍...👍..👍.👍😉❤️.

Thank you for posting your knowledge! I'm xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, and trying to make more connections to my culture but its hard because us salish are so secret lol! 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

Wonderful resource for sharing with my students! Thank you for creating this terrific overview!

Awesome vid

I am interested in learning more about Coast Salish design. Do you have any references where you learned this information or good books that can expand on it? I appreciate it.

Great follow up to the previous video. Very clear descriptions.

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.

I first discovered Salish coast art at the Pitt Rivers museum in oxford, England. Since then I have struggled to understand the detail, but your posting has enlightened me considerably. Does the U shape with the Y shape in the centre represent a split feather perhaps? I have started copying some designs I’ve found in books as I am a watercolourist, but now I am considering reproducing some of the designs in fabric, as I am also a quilted. It will be an interesting exercise. Thank you.

Thank you for making this!!! This is so helpful!!!

sounds like take high school art classes or college art classes. sound like art teach ask talk painting. information useful. though I only carving water Mellons and punkins will rote up. pebble rippling. and D shape and U shape will help go copy people work make something look like it. it also useful show peace though had desire elements in it was not north western becuse didn't fallow rules. So if some hear Indian fire story. example tale boy listing to his grandpa about two wolves sit at camp fire. grandpa says evil black wolf and nice white wolf lives every young boy, fight for control over boy mind. boy ask grandpa witch wolf win. grandpa says one feed will stronger wolf. if do good things feed good wolf. if do bad things feed bad wolf. take story add design elects ripples D and U shap bleave make black wolf and white wolf and fire and young boy and pradpa be able do peace tells story. at bottom peace have grandpa and boy. fire design with point kind like pebble effect. out smoke fire black wolf and white wolf mad out D shape and U shape. not sure how show do good or bad. but in end get very nice peace when put all together.

Too bad you don't do more online

Q I love the swishing sound of those sharp tools. I always admire your organized and calm approach, and your work is always so beautiful.

hey Qwalsius I'm from Quinault I was wondering if you know of any silk screen printing people ? I have watched all your videos lol over and over lesrning what I can from you. I am learning how to do stuff on Photoshop but I am at a plato lol I father was randy capoeman and I plan to follow in his footsteps so any advise or tips/contacts you can help me out with that would be much help. youtube is my only teacher.

I learned about these in my elementary school, this art style has continued to capture, mesmerize and inspire me and growing up where the art is so prominent and growing up with it all around me is something of a blessing. Thank you for bringing me back to something that I consider roots me

This was very useful and great teachings thank you for sharing.

TLDW AKA Too long didn't watch or you can have it more exiting

Thank you Qwalsius "My hands are up for you"

The correct link to the updated video of this is ruclips.net/video/OHNyktK4EqA/видео.html (Its beautiful).

Wonderful!

Great series. Thanks.

Thank you for this video.

Thank you for making this video. Very helpful in showing the differences from formline.

Super helpful, thank you! Your video has been the only example that I have found to explain the basic elements.

Nice nice Thanks

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.

Thank you for sharing your expertise here...:)

Love this!

Great video, thanks!
