The Howling Wolf’s Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge drawing has a lot less representational is nonobjective than John Taylor’s illustration. I read in this that (Sayre, H.M.) was saying something like the world of art (2010) usually has two different depictions of the Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge. This is where one illustrates a natural illusionistic art which is compared to something like convention art. This is with Sayre, H.M., posted in 2010, on the pp. 38-39, (Fig, 42). John Taylor, (1867). Taylor provided information on natural objects which these were in a form that was a more recognizable then Sayers was. I think that Wolf’s rendering is was very abstract, It would be more for a child to like because it had a lot of dimensional crayon coloring, But Wolf’s drawing does have a more honest record of the treaty signing at medicine creek lodge than Taylor’s did. Wolf also emphasizes tradition, culture, and detail in greater way than John Taylor’s illustration. And it also just told a lot more about the meaning of the painting just because of the things that was in the coloring such as woman with their hair painted, trees, creeks, and also wooded landscapes.

I honestly think that the white artist ignored the women that was at the treaty signing and this was not was not a good thing because the native women played a very important roll inside of this culture. The painting included the native women in ceremonial garments, and their backs against the other people in the audience. The whites really did not want ‘a draw attention to the importance the women that played in the treaty signing. When the treaty was signed the Plain tribe’s children had to go to school to learn how to speak English and I think the white artist did it deliberately because I think they did not want people to see and know just how much the women were involved in

    The depiction of the painting and the article are quite similar. One of the reasons is because when Martha Corey was accused for being a witch by other three women, she had to stand on trial. In this painting, it is shown that a woman is kneeling in front of the judges while women around her seem to be enraged and in pain. As it was said on the article, “when Martha shifted her feet the girls did also, when Martha bit her lip the girls were compelled to it their own lips, crying out in pain.” Women acted and accused as not to be put on trial, or to be executed in some cases. It was also said that girls were pressured into revealing the person behind all this problems. This made things complicated since this work was reasoned by the community…

    I believe that Howling Wolfs drawing was much more abstract than that of John Taylor. From his bright colors to his use of lines on his painting was much more abstract. From the green trees that are not defined with any detail to the outlines of the back of women. Only to those that know about the culture would even now that the red line in the hair meant that the figures were women that Plain warriors had committed to. There is not much definition to the drawings of the…

    The first art work chosen was a figure by Myron of Athens, Discobolous. The Discobolous, a Discus Thrower, is a Roman marble copy after a bronze original of 450 BCE. A picture of this piece is shown below, figure 1. This piece of art work is simply amazing and exemplifies the Greek sense of harmony and balance (Petronius, 2008). The artist depicted the statutes of that time, a male nude figure, which seems to express freedom of movement and the Greeks idea of beauty. Furthermore, this artwork exemplifies the role of the artist through a representation of human strength and values.…

    1. formal and iconographic characteristics are seen in high renaissanace, venetian and mannerist paintings. to begin with, in high renaissance michaelangelos Moses is shown holding the 10 commandments. You can clearly see the anger that is dipicted through the facial expression on moses. Michaelangelo wonderfully portrays the psychological states in moses, through the iconographic characteristics of his puffed lower lip, arched toes and the bulging of his veins. the formal characteristics are seen through michealangeols mastery of lines, which help create the anger that is being felt by moses. The formal characteristic of the lining of his beard and clothing show his inner turmoil. In the venetian painting of the virgin of the rocks by Leonardo Da Vinci, the artist magnificantly uses the chiaroscuro method of light and dark to model the expression and emotional states of the figures being portrayed. The lines, soft and subtle give the painting a more intimate feeling. The figures are all shown interacting with one another, praying, pointing, and blessing. He also presents the figures in a pyramidal group and sharing the same environment. The figures emerge through the use of light and shading from the half-light of the cavernous visionary landscape. For mannerism, formal characteristics are clearly seen in Parmigianino's Madonna with the long neck. Although nothing is shown in proportion the painting still apears soft and smooth, through the lines and colors used. The madonnas long neck, the delicacy of her hands and swaying elongation of her frames are all signs of mannerism. On the left stands the angelic creatures melting with emotions as soft and smooth as their limbs. on the right the artist includes a line of columns without capitals and an enigmatic figure with a scroll whose distance from the foreground is immeasureable and imbiguous.…

    Travelers among Mountains and Streams is comprised of several design elements. Form, leading lines, and shape. These design elements move the eye throughout the painting in a continuous interaction between the elements. Each section is well balanced and rich in content. The large mountain in the foreground sets the foundation for the painting by serving as a barrier, keeping the viewers eyes from leaving the page. The area showing the travelers moving in the stream sets a sense of motion, engaging the eye to travel through the painting. The grand scale of all the elements inspire the viewer to be transported into the realm of fantasy promoted by Northern Song painters. The painting takes on a naturalistic feel that is derived from the combination of paint, ink, and silk. The people and mules moving through the stream bring a sense of scale to the painting. They are an important element in that they are in direct comparison to the large Mountain. The helps promote the idea that there is something bigger than all of of us and that humans are somehow spiritually connected to the earth. An important idea that Northern Song Artist aspired to communicate through ere work. The painting is done in a realistic approach yet is not set in a specific place further enhancing the dream like quality meant to promote spiritual communication and enlightenment. This interpretation is about the balance between the countryside and mans attempt to conquer it brought to life in the form of a painting by Fan Kuan. In the painting the small humans are engulfed by the enormous mountains giving the effect of unattainability, yet the human spirit to conquering the elements arises out of the need explore. The human and animals traveling through the stream give the…

    While both pieces of art depicts the Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, as well as the subject matter that portrays the ethnocentric differences from the Anglo American’s view and the American Indian’s view, both pieces of art represents the importance, and significance, of this historical event. Howling Wolf’s, (1875-1878, (2), Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, subject matter depicts an honest illustration of the memories that took place on that historic day thru the eyes of Howling Wolf. The colorful palette displays the different tepees separated by the backs of women and men in each tribe, which represents the distinct impression that everyone was captivated by the events of the treaty signing. The colors of each tepee, depicts the diverse attendance of tribes. While the men in the trees depict the honest thoughts of mistrust that Howling Wolf might have thought after experiencing imprisonment. Howling Wolf’s portrayals of the treaty signing from my perspective; says that the men in the trees had twisted their words and created a separation between the tribes. The person in the middle seems to be trapped, while the horse seems to be a…

    It’s hard to say why Taylor didn’t add the Native women in the painting but I think that Taylor was not at this event so he knows not what actually happened in the event of the treaty signing, unlike Wolf who was there. I think this omission was deliberate due to cultural bias because, I think back then white people felt they had the power to everything and looked down upon any other culture that wasn’t their own so for Taylor I think to have not painted the women in was because of their culture and because they were indeed woman and I think back then women weren’t created equal and with Wolf’s painting women had an importance in their society. Looking at both…

    I think that this artist John Taylor may have decided not to include the women because he might have thought that they didn’t play a big role in the events that were taking place in that time. The only women that were shown in this drawing were the daughter and the French Canadian trapper which was maybe due to some kind of bias attempt. I feel that with John Taylor leaving the rest of the women out, he felt that the rest of the women were not important in this situation. Another reason the non-important women may have been left out is because women were seen differently than men in that era. A women’s opinion was not valued the way it is today.…

    1. "Abbott": Firstly, this picture is showed with a very strong contrast in color - balck and white, which literally let people feel serious. Also, there were almost horizontal and vertical straight lines, which outline as well as divide the background bulidings, meanwhile, these straight lines seem to communicate an solemn emotion. Third, a flag of United State takes quater scale in picture, and it is the only moving object that allows to add jumpy rhythm in picture, in short, the flag seems to break the serious balance in picture and then emphasis the freedom(movement) under such a strict and silent surrounding. Fourth, people, who are also the moving objects in picture, echo the freedom with flag somehow.…
