Tom Poiker "A Journey into the World of Native Art"

April 21, 2009

Time: 12:00PM–1:30PM

This is the story of my discovery of Native Art, from simple carvings to my own designs on the computer. There are three stages in this development: the first is the stage of craftsmanship, i.e., learning the trade. The second is that of my own creativity where I designed new images and carved them. The third stage is that of my social-cultural reflection, seeing the art as an evolving system.

All the SFURA-sponsored noontime seminars, 12:00 noon – 1:30pm, are given in 126 Halpern Centre, followed by no-host lunch at the Pub at 1:30pm
