Students strengthen and build on the old art traditions by training in the style and skills of master carvers. Many well-established Northwest Coast artists have marked their beginnings at the Kitanmaax School. Ksan was the first to offer Northwest Coast Indian art in formal instruction. Contributing in the renaissance of the art form, Gitanmaax School of Northwest Coast Indian Art has played a role in elevating the arts profile to a higher degree of popularity and esteem.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.sfu.ca/brc/virtual_village/gitxsan/gitanmaxx/-ksan-historic-village-and-museum-gallery.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.sfu.ca/brc/virtual_village/gitxsan/gitanmaxx/-ksan-historic-village-and-museum-gallery.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.sfu.ca/brc/virtual_village/gitxsan/gitanmaxx/-ksan-historic-village-and-museum-gallery.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>the carvings show good technical skill, and leap to make a 2 dimensional plaque....become a 3 D carving functional art work. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
