These are very doable with kids too.

Here is my lesson plan for the Northwest Coast masks
-I did mine with 6th grade:
http://www.princetonol.com/groups/iad/lessons/middle/Lessons/6totemask.htm
Many used Northwest Coast design motifs - some didn't
(the dog was more of his own ideas for design).
Student used my Internet lesson (probably broken links
now):

We used Dempsy Bob, mainly - I had a video on his
work.
