In Adobe Illustrator make 2 drawings on one page.  Choose one design from each of the following 3 groups and copy it as accurately as possible.  For Extra Credit make your own design based on an animal of your choice.

1.  Choose a Haida design to copy.  Use the pen tool to trace the outlines and close your shapes to fill with color.  OR YOU CAN GO LOOK UP HAIDA / TLINGIT DESIGNS ON THE WEB TO PICK YOUR OWN TO COPY.

2.  Choose a Zuni pot design and try to copy a piece of the pattern and repeat it across the page.

EXTRA CREDIT:  Make your own design for the 3RD drawing -- using what ever style you want.  If you want to make your own in a Haida influence, or your own rug design, or your own pottery motif -- be creative!
