Representational Form In Taylor's And Howling

The Great Spirit is known as their creator and God. This is their one main God even though they do have other gods such as the god of rain and the god of the sun. There happens to be a god for almost everything. Everything has a spirit of its own. The wolf spirit is one of the most striking, standing for instinct, intelligence, the need for freedom, and social connections. The wolf also represents the fear of being threatened and the lack of trust. Each and every Native is assigned a particular animal and the person’s spirit absorbs into the animal spirit in death.

The artist paints many onlookers around the central group. Another noticeable difference in the two pictures is that Wolf includes women in his picture which relates back to his cultural understanding of Indians. Taylor’s picture is definitely representational while Wolf’s is abstract. John Taylor’s work is more realistic when compared to the art of Howling Wolf. Visualizing reality in the two pieces, is simple. Taylor has a much more realistic piece while Wolf’s abstract art, the viewer has a more difficult time visualizing the actual event. Wolf’s work, at first glance, appears to be childlike and he uses the bright primary colors while Taylor uses the black and white. The composition of the art work describes the arrangement of the visual elements of people, landscapes, space in the pictures and the organization of the elements. In Taylor’s work one finds the use balance and contrast to emphasize his black and white picture. However, Wolf uses color and form to generate a purposefully abstract picture. Thus, composition is the placement of the visual elements in each work of art.

I believe Cole purposely avoided the appearance of unity in this painting. The separation between the two landscapes was not a peaceful transition. He wanted to show the diversity between the natural land from the cultivated land.

Native American traditional stories, folktales, are stories passed down from generation to generation by story telling and performance. Native Americans emphasized the importance of living in harmony with the naturual world. They had complex religious beliefs, sophisticated poltical systems, and strong morals. Some of the stories are creation myths, tales of heroes, and tricksters. Trickster tales are stories that have animals or human characters who engage in deceit, violence, or magic. Often trickster tales are said to explain why the world is the way it is. "Coyote and the Buffalo" and "Fox and Coyote and Whale" are two trickster tales, retold by Mourning Dove, explaining how Coyote's action created changes in

Initially, both stories start off giving background on a natural setting. The Osage begins telling about how the Wazha’zhe people lived in the sky. It also tells that the Moon and the Sun were the people’s parents. In comparison to the Osage, the Navajo Myth talks about a person Named Begochiddy visiting the Lukatso, which is bamboo. This person also sends up a badger to view the new world that there were to go to next. As each story progresses, each one goes into even more detail about nature.

When looking at John Taylor's Treaty Signing at Medicine Lodge Creek, the content is clear. At a glance, it is clear that an agreement is being made and that it is significant. The artwork is representational and natural plants and human faces are seen. The form helps create this. This artwork is a sketch that probably was made using pen or pencil. While this is true, the faces in the art are unrecognizable and the natives are not accurately drawn.

In the Novel Taylor uses the raccoons as a way of showing the connection between the natives and nature. Taylor writes about how the raccoons have problems regarding John and how they appear out

In the story The Call of the Wild “the call” symbolizes a wolf howl calling to Buck to come

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

The first element we should talk about is plot; the plot structure for The Wolves is a variation. The two plot structures it is similar to the most are climatic and circular. In climatic plot structure the characteristics are few characters, few locations, late point of attack, and few plots. The Wolves share the characteristics of few characters, few locations (where they played their games), and a late point of attack (when number fourteen was killed). Circular plot structure characteristics are it ends where it began, and the expression of futility and meaninglessness of human effort. The Wolves also ended where it began (beginning of a soccer game).

permanence to the intended viewer at the time. It's clear that this artist was comissioned

The bear is an important figure in Native American art. It is a symbol of strength, power, humility, motherhood, teaching, dreaming, and healing. Northwest

The conventions used by John Taylor are very different from Howling Wolf’s work. It seems to me that Taylor’s image is representational and Wolf’s image seems to be abstract. Taylor does not use many colors on his portrait he seems to use pencil or a black pencil color where Wolf’s painting is very colorful and seems as if he might have

The painting illustrates the artist’s rendering of what happened to Chief Wi-jún-jon when integrated into the white culture following a trip to Washington, DC in 1832. On this returning side you see no Indian heritage, it has been destroyed by civilization. The painting is a great view through the artist’s eyes and mind as to how he felt about the change which occurred with the Chief during his time. George Catlin truly honored and respected the Indians that he captured so elegantly in his paintings and I believe he felt saddened when Chief Wi-jún-jon returned to his native people looking and acting liking a white person.

The intention of the artist was fully honourable, however, what he intended to come across did not come across to these people.
