Ursula 10. klass Navajo Artwork Navajo Artwork The Navajo are well-known for their many crafts including weaving of blankets and rugs, silversmithing, basketry and sandpainting. Authentic Navajo art or handcraft consists of handmade items produced by a Native American craftsperson, using high-quality, natural materials that are not machine stamped. The Navajo people are regarded as being the pioneers of Native American art. They are particularly renowned for their rugs and unique silversmithing techniques. They were also pioneers when it came to basketry and are recognized the world over for their basket weaving skills. Rug Weaving Commercial production of handwoven blankets and rugs has been an important element of the Navajo economy. Rug weaving is another traditional Navajo art form. Navajo women believe the
The word Navajo comes from the phrase Tewa Navahu, meaning highly cultivated lands. The Navajo Indians largely resides in New Mexico and Arizona. They originally began their tribes in the 1500's and are considered to be the largest tribe of all Native American Indians. The Navajo region focuses more on land then on people. According to Navajo beliefs land is holy and it is the Job of every man to protect and preserve it. The Navajo religion tells of a time when the Creator developed a sacred land between 4 mountains. It is said that the Creator gave the Navajo people the instructions to never go past these mountains. The Navajos have never stopped speaking their native Athabaskan language, unlike many other native peoples who are trying to revive their languages.

pre-Christian cultures. Christianity gradually replaced the indigenous religion of the Saxons in England around the 7th and 8th centuries. Christianity was introduced into Northumbria and Mercia by monks from Ireland, but the Synod of Whitby settled the choice for Roman Christianity. As the new clerics became the chroniclers, the old religion was partially lost before it was recorded. Despite these prohibitions, numerous elements of the pre-Christian culture of the Anglo-Saxon people survived the Christianisation process. Dress materials Anglo-Saxon clothing usually utilized only three types of fabric. Wool was a coarse material which was used for most garments. Lower class people, such as slaves and poorer peasants could only use wool for their garments, even garments worn against the skin. Linen, harvested from the flax plant, was a finer material which was used for garments. Silk was an extremely
There is a great diversity among different Indigenous communities and societies in Australia, each with its own unique mixture of cultures, customs and languages. In present day Australia these groups are further divided into local communities. [infoplease] Language Before Europeans arrived in Australia, about 250 diverse Indigenous languages were spoken. Some of these are still spoken today but many have died out. In 2006, 55 695 or 11 per cent of Indigenous people spoke an Indigenous language at home. Indigenous languages were more likely to be spoken in the centre and north of Australia than in the southern cities. In the Northern Territory, for example, 54 per cent of Indigenous people spoke an Indigenous language at home. Spirituality Most Indigenous belief systems centre on the `Dreaming' or `Dreamtime' to explain life and the origin of the world. In the Dreaming, ancestral beings created features of the land, sea and
Introduction (slide 2) In this presentation I'd like to give a brief overview of clay bricks. I'll speak about 15min to allow time for questions at the end. Firstly clay bricks are known for centuries as one of the most solid and reliable structural elements is set to play a role in reducing global warming. Apart form the many benefits obtained from using clay bricks in construction, such as their durability, insulation properties and aesthetic qualities, recent findings show that they also produce less carbon emissions than any other masonry material. History (slide 3) In more detail the earliest bricks were dried bricks, meaning they were formed from clay- bearing earth or mud and dried usually in the sun until they were strong enough for use. The oldest discovered bricks, originally made from shaped mud and dating before 10000 BC, were found in Mesopotamia related to the first known cities. Ceramic or fired bricks were first introduced by the Romans. These were mainly flat, broad
Sympathy was expressed for the oppressed workers. Before photography became preeminent, there was a brief period of newspaper illustrators and artist- reporters. By 1908, a new generation of artists had emerged who were not afraid to dabble in abstact art, Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, Der Blaue Reiter and Orphism. The Armory Show of 1913 is the general birthdate of American modernism. "The Eight"/"The Aschan School". These artists explored the everyday life of ordinary people in large cities. They represented the transition to modernism. Art had previously supposed to have been representational and realistic. These artists emphasized the artist's involvement with actual life and its reflection in the painting. Content and viewpoint 3 superseded style.

Africa, Israel Islam and other religions Hassani exist They have proudly managed to maintain their natural and rural way of life for thousands of years. They have survived in the dry nd harsh desert regions of the Middle East, on their herds and by supplying the surplus meat and dairy products to the more urban communities. The Bedouin people in Sinai can teach us much about surviving extreme conditions. They are excellent trackers recognising animal and human tracks and they are able to find their way in the desert without compass or map. Bedouin men and women traditionally carry out different roles in society. Bedouin men are generally the ones who go out to earn a living for their families, some work today as safari guides, drivers, shop keepers, or in construction and maintenance
