Among Plains Indians, the abstract designs that were the women’s prerogative have survived in greater numbers than those made by men. It seems that the abstract and geometric art is older than the representational art by men. More importantly, it later evolved and provided designs for weaving, quillwork, and beadwork. These art works are presented in such patterns as circles, arcs, triangles, rectangles, and hyperbolas. The colors are mostly red, yellow, blue and green, and they are painted flat and are outlined. The women’sgeometric art appears on such objects as hide robes, boxes, bags and other utilitarian receptacles.II.The most influential Plains art form was the narrative composition, which is meant to tell heroic stories of courageous deeds.

The paintings, usually filling entire field, were conceived as separate pictorial vignettes recording specific actions. In relationship to each other, these vignettes tell a complete story. Composition was focused on the center of the skin, where the action was depicted and the figures were larger and more numerous. Often the composition is centrifugal, without top or bottom, which suggests that the hide was painted to be shown on the ground surrounded by viewers.。
