Abstract
This article discusses a form of ethnic art known as commercial sandpainting, a stylistic modification of the traditional sacred Navajo sandpainting, but made specifically for the Anglo-American trade. The training of the artist in the technical skills necessary to produce this form of art is discussed in some detail; also how these acquired learning patterns affect the spread of this art style within the area.
