This is the work of a Navaho artist who grew up on the Navajo Reservation. 

 Look at his art and his statements, and try to  explain your understanding of how and why the Navajo experience has caused the Navajo people to produce rugs that are considered works of art.  

Consider your own experience, and share a way that your own culture has developed art and the experiences that shaped that art.]]> 2020-11-19 18:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/942931543 jwalker105 https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/942962653 2020-11-19 19:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/942962653 jwalker105 https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/942967352 2020-11-19 19:02:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/942967352 jwalker105 https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/942969505 2020-11-19 19:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/942969505 jwalker105 https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/942973347 2020-11-19 19:03:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/942973347 jwalker105 https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943018040 2020-11-19 19:12:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943018040 jwalker105 https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943021488 2020-11-19 19:13:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943021488 elijahrod1 https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943676542 This looks like it took a lot of time and effort to make a navajo rug. they look cool.]]> 2020-11-19 22:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943676542 isaaccar https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943680804 2020-11-19 22:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943680804 meirabellaser https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943719486 From my understanding the Navajo people produced rugs that are considered a work of art as a way to express their feelings and show what they have gone through. They're extremely detailed and remind me of the rugs we did when we identified parallel and perpendicular angles. ]]> 2020-11-19 22:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943719486 stevencar https://padlet.com/jwalker105/ogpgxswx0qgucf7n/wish/943725592 I feel the beauty in the rugs comes from the dedication and time it takes to make a single one.  I see stories within these rugs too like the artist is trying to capture a moment.

The people who reside on reservations are known to be extremely poor, reservation economies always suffer. No matter what tribe they have a story of tears, their ancestors were forced from their lands and put into a  barren, unwanted, and lifeless plot of land. So whatever the artist wants to convey from these tapestries it's most likely going to be on the more negative and pessimistic side ( because reservation life and society is hard). In some reservations they don't even have running water, some works of art could be looked at as when they had rich green lands before they were forced into reservations due to the guile and greed of the early Americans expanding westward. As for the tapestry of a man herding goats and sheep, That there everyday life, using hardy animals for clothes, food, and even milk. What we would see as a pretty picture of a “ cowboy” could be a young poor boy working for food for his family rather than going to school. Whereas the depiction of native people running could even be related to the trail of tears. By using dark colors in one's art you can relate it to dark themes or thoughts, the artist could be trying to provoke negative emotions in the person viewing the art, so people of a different culture could relate to their society and culture. However I do agree they are beautiful works of art, thank you for Enlightening and culturing the class.

I think the colors they put on the rugs are beautiful and the patterns are interesting.

A rug took more than a year to make if they are really puting in the extra artwork, to make it loo prettier. It especially takes more time and patience to get the perfect angle for every detail on the rug making straight and perpedicular lines.

I personally think it takes a lot of effort and talent to make the Navajo rugs. I think the colors they put on the rugs are really cool and the patterns are  very interesting. From what I know about, Navajo people made their rugs look like events that have happened in them in the past and as well as they can use them for storytelling. I believe that the people that made the Navajo rug were very very talented.
