A Native Community and its Life-Style
Like all native tribes or communities, the Indians has their own pattern of art and this kind of art is deeply influenced by castes or social hierarchy. These styles can be seen on body painting, face painting, sculptures and so on. Most of these styles comes in symmetric or half symmetric style of curves, stripes, circles. They like these abstract figures than those already exists in nature. That was their so-called "civilization"---evolution from a beast to human being.
As a whole, they are much different. Unlike archaic Chinese people, or many other tribes on Africa or South America, they adore nature. So you can see their style of art have many "components" of natural figures, even their gods.
