    About the Native Raven art on the cover of Learning by Doing

    The Native Raven design on the cover of Learning by Doing is the same design we use for Raven Publishing’s logo. Based on an idea that flashed as she watched a student at work, Karin Clark designed it and Jim Gilbert drew and painted it.

    The design represents a young Raven, who in Pacific Northwest Coast Indigenous culture is considered a crest figure and responsible for, among other things, the creation of or stealing of light in the form of the sun, moon, and stars  and finding earth’s people while they were still hiding in the dark and giving them the light. Although Raven is a famous trickster and shape-shifter, we do not emphasize this aspect of its character. We believe students can learn this on their own.

    Within our logo, Raven, the teacher, provides children with learning experiences that encourage their educational growth, development, and understanding. Depicted in typical Northwest Coast Native art style, Raven is  the  teacher  whose eye reflects a student hard at work.
