John Taylor Howling Wolf Analysis

The title of the two art pieces identifies the purpose of the meeting as a treaty signing. Both artists represent Indians and white men who have gathered for a meeting. John Taylor and Howling Wolf offered their drawings ten years apart, Taylor first then Wolf. While looking at the two images of Treaty Signing at Medicine Lodge Creek, each artist

In the United States today there is a great amount of cultural diversity, but unfortunately the predominant American culture causes other cultures to be overlooked causing difficulties for students of other cultures to succeed in the American school system. This is what happens in the story of the Indian Wind-Wolf as he begins going to kindergarten. For Wind-Wolf, this is his first time outside of the Indian culture and it is very difficult for him to be the only Indian boy in his classroom. It causes him to feel like an outcast. As educators, teachers have the responsibility to create an environment in the classroom that makes each student feel that they belong there. For Wind-Wolf, and any other students in a cultural minority, the typical classroom does not have these necessary qualities. There are a few ways Wind-Wolf 's teacher can create the classroom environment necessary for his success: working with his father to see what will be helpful for his learning experience, being culturally responsive, and incorporating his culture into the classroom.

Although stories are a universal art form, they hold a more significant role in Native American culture, and literature. This occurs due to the millennia spent in isolation from the rest of the world, and having stories as the main source of entertainment. Thomas King’s statement, “stories can control our lives,” is an important notion, because it embarks on the idea of molding the diseased into more interesting versions of themselves. The statement is prevalent in many pieces of literature which fuse reality into the imagination, and cause people to lose themselves in the fictitious realm. Native literature is all closely related, and they all hold messages within their stories that show their great culture; both the good and the bad. Story

"I am sad that you had this dream. It is clearly a dream of great power and, as is our way, when one has such a powerful dream we must do all we can to make it true. The Great Tree must be uprooted." (Turtles Back) Native Americans did not have any way such of writing. So the elders taught the youth and eachother stories and life lessons by word of mouth. The Native Americans depended on nature to survive so much so that their way of life was depicted by nature. The sources When Grizzlies walked upright (source A), World on Turtles Back (Source B), and Navajo (Source C) all depict their way of life and nature in a common way. Source A was about the Sky Chief moving from the sky to the Earth which he creates yet at the same time, some of his creations like the Grizzle Bear symbolizes rules and culture. Source B represents determination and life. Source C represents life and strength. Although, Sources A, B, and C depict the Native Americans different views of life, they all show how nature has a part in them.

In comparison to John Taylor’s Treaty Signing at Medicine Lodge Creek, created in October 1867, was made right after the treaty signing. However, there are other depictions, made almost a decade later. One prime example is Howling Wolf’s piece, made from 1875-1878. This art was a more abstract depiction, approaching on the whole meeting, rather than just a gathering. Howling Wolf’s piece shows a more ethnocentric approach, providing women with their backs facing away from the viewer, with a red stripe down the back of their head. On the other hand, Taylor’s piece resembles a more naturalistic and realistic event, showing the gathering of the different groups, and completing

This treaty took away much of the stress that was present in the US, for at this point they were on good terms with Britain for the first time in over a century. This is shown by the painting in Document C as the two people in the foreground are hugging and celebrating the 43rd birthday of the US. This is true because had it been the case that the treaty wasn’t signed, these men would most likely not be home celebrating, but rather protecting the American borders as soldiers. Also shown in Document C are the American flag and a portrait of George Washington. This shows that the Americans at this time were appreciating their heritage and embracing their national pride.

Chapters three and four in Wolf Tracks, argues that despite the cultural elites dismiss the black influence on Panama and ignores its significance, they still relate the work to represent Panamanian culture, all while the black society attempts to shatter the false allegations that they do not exist in the idea of mestizaje. African art takes on a theatrical form in the shape of the red devil buses that contradict the old traditions of the ideas of mestizaje and order. The images illustrated in Chapter three, confirm the notion that the black influence is taking charge and trying to break down barriers by forcing everyone to experience and interact with the Afro-Caribbean culture.

The gray wolf, also known as the timber wolf or western wolf, is a generalist species and can be found in North America, Canada, Europe, and Asia. The gray wolf is a very diverse species, able to withstand different environments. The gray wolf can thrive in forests and woodlands, grasslands, desserts, and even the tundra. In the United States, this species is mainly found in the northern states such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, and Alaska. Other states include Arizona and New Mexico where they were reintroduced to a protected parkland.

I find the comparison of these two pieces, John Taylor’s Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, and Howling Wolf’s Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, very difficult. It is like comparing the view a major league fast ball pitched towards a batter, one batter, Howling Wolf, is in little league with fun and a child’s eye exploring type of worldly view, and the other John Taylor is that of a trained major league ball player. The tools used to make the pieces of work for one it is his chosen, Taylor, and for Wolf it is what he is allowed to possess.

Throughout history people of different races and ethnic backgrounds have struggled to get along and accept each other. In Michael Blake’s novel, Dances With Wolves, Lieutenant John Dunbar’s life changes after he becomes involved with the Comanche Indians. After a short period of time, both Dunbar and the Indians learn to trust each other. Through literary terms such as foreshadowing, symbolism, and similes, Blake proves the idea that love, friendship, belonging, and connection can be found between people of different backgrounds and races.

In Trevor Lucero’s early career as a running back, he has earned the title of “beast”. Have you ever felt like you were watching the NFL at a middle school football game? If not, it’s because you’ve never seen him play. That’s his favorite part of life. His passion. He grew up in Colorado Springs, so it’s obvious that he was ecstatic when the Denver Broncos won the fiftieth Super Bowl this year. In fact, he said that that’s his favorite memory thus far in life.

While many artists work off of inspiration, John Trumbull was no exception finding his inspiration from Thomas Jefferson’s sketch of the first presentation of the Declaration of Independence . The overall painting combined with the foundational component of Jefferson’s sketch communicates a revered moment, within a room of dominance over Britain, in witness of only the most powerful and important people of America . An overall depicted mood can be derived as reverencing, as shown by the men’s prominent stances, high profile facial expressions, and the importance of the newly proposed document itself. The painting was commissioned between August of 1817 and September of 1818, hung months later on October 5, 1818 . The hanging of this painting

Constant separation and tension between blacks and whites is at the forefront of Kyle Abraham’s When the Wolves Came In. Performed first in 2015, the piece consists of three narratives including When the Wolves Came In, Hallowed, and The Gettin’. This reflection and interpretation will be solely based on the third installment of the piece. The Gettin’ brings racial issues into view through the different interactions between each performer and through dancer and background projection relations.

While these artists’ renditions of the Treaty Signing at Medicine Lodge Creek contain the same content, John Taylor and Howling Wolf's show very different views. I believe that the difference in views arose due to the fact that these two men had different cultural backgrounds from one another. John Taylor was a hired journalist while Howling Wolf was Native American. John Taylor's sketch has a very natural feel while Howling Wolf's is abstract.

The Howl and Big Sur are two excellent representations of people who lived alternatively, instead of conforming to society views and the materlistic lifestyle. The incredible creator of Howl, accurately demonstrated The Beat generation by displaying the destruction of the best minds. The destruction of the best minds were not teachers, lawyers, doctors or even nurses. However, the best minds that the reader were informed about were drug users, homeless people, as well as people who had mental health issues. Howl author viewed the lower class people as the best minds during the 1950s instead of stereotypical best mind, the middle class. Contrary to American mainstream, Howl showed defiance in the way he viewed America by highlighting druggies
