More Description

Form line is a 2-dimensional Indigenous visual language. It is seen in the art of the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest coast of North America, spanning from the Gulf of Alaska down along the coast of British Columbia. The Tlingit are among the northernmost practitioners of this distinctive curvilinear artform. Formline designs created today are the result of thousands of years of artistic evolution and innovation. The images in this book were born out of our children's love for dinosaurs, and the question, "What is this dinosaur's name in Lingft?" Aatlein gunalcheesh (thank you very much in Lingft) to everyone who had a hand in the development of this coloring book and who have contributed to our ongoing Lingft dinosaur project.
