Pablita Velarde
Pablita Velarde, was a Native American Artist who attended the Santa Fe Indian School, specifically Dorothy Dunn's Studio School. The purpose of the school was to teach students to create a distinctive and marketable "Indian" style. While traditional Pueblo art focused on pottery, pottery painting, and pueblo wall painting, the Dunn style, also known as "flat painting" "combined the outline drawing and flat colors of folk art, the decorative qualities of Art Deco, and "Indian" subject matter." (Art History, Stokstad and Cothren, pg 853)
Koshares of Taos, painted in the 1940s by Velarde, is a watercolor painting on paper. The "painting combines bold, flat colors and a simplified decorative line with European perspective, " (Art History,

    Comparing Kokopelli And Anasazi

    The picture in the question is an example of a petroglyph. Petroglyph is a form of rock art that is made by carving into the stone, whereas a pictograph is painted onto the stone. Kokopelli is depicted in the petroglyph above. He is a fertility figure in the Anasazi tribe. He is a symbol of the agriculture god of Southwest culture. Anasazi means “ancient stranger” or “ancient enemy” in Navajo language, that is commonly applied to the early pueblo dwellers who once lived in the Colorado Plateau or Four Corners Area. He traveled to different villages, and brought about changes in the season, bringing about rain and a bountiful harvest for the people. Kokopelli’s flute is used to announce his arrival and the seeds in his bag that he carries are meant to be planted to grow crops to sustain the tribes. He calls the goats to gather and to make baby goats by playing his flute. Therefore, he is seen as the symbol of fertility for all life such as, crops and hopes. Legends suggest that Kokopelli was an ancient toltec trader who traveled routes between Mexico, the west coast, and the southwest.…

    Chumamash Rock Art Research Paper

    It is here that the rock art of the Chumash can be viewed in its natural state. Chumash rock art is distinctive due to the shapes and the consistency with the drawings. All Chumash rock art is found in caves far from the towns in remote caves that would not have been used for living quarters. While no method for decoding the art has ever been established, the art itself is easily identified as Chumash due to the style of the paintings. Most of the paintings are of the animals that lived around the towns and things that are seen in nature. Unlike other petroglyphs the Chumash rock art has hard lines, geometric shapes, and appears to have been painted over one another several times. They all have the same theme: geometric forms associated with mental imagery such as grids, stars, dots, and meandering lines or fantastic creatures, birds, and horned anthropomorphs. The inside of the objects are light but are traced by darker pigments around the outside. These rock art paintings of the Chumash do not tell a story and were not used for conveying a message to the public. Since the art is so contrived and jumbled together with no rhyme or reason, it is believed that the art was used during ceremonies performed in…

    Trillium Lake At Sunset Analysis

    The prime focus of this piece is Mt.Hood, which is centered in the middle of the picture plane halfway up the canvas. The mountain in the piece is opaque as there are no t-intersections within it. Behind the mountain various tones of orange, red, purple, and yellow are used to create a stunning sunset. Underneath the mountain, short straight strokes of numerous shades of green, blue, orange, and purple were used to create an image of thousands and thousands of trees. Close to halfway on the canvas, the image of Mt.Hood, the sunset, and the rows of trees is reflected on the water of Trillium Lake. Tehan utilizes the same colors she used in the top half of the canvas to create the reflection on the water. Centered on the bottom of the canvas towards the left side of the piece is a railing painted using various tones of brown, black, purple, yellow, pink, and orange. Tehan's delicate use of her pallet knife allowed her to create straight geometric lines for the railing. It also allowed her to give the railing an illusory texture.…

    This piece of art was created by Claude Monet. He is known as the classic impressionist. In this painting, he captures the ever-changing nature of light and color. Unlike a lot of paintings, you can see the brush strokes in this painting. But I believe that the brush strokes used help create the piece of art and they help show the leaves and flowers on the trees. Also, it helps make the clouds in the sky look more hazy and beautiful.…

Patria would freely bequeath any and all of her belongings, to anyone that would ask. The children and their parents who lived nearby, began to “send their kids over to ask [Patria] for a cup of rice or jar of cooking oil. [She] had no sense of holding onto things.” (p.45)…

    Filipino Psychology

    Early Filipino painting can be found in red slip (clay mixed with water) designs embellished on the ritual pottery of the Philippines such as the acclaimed Manunggul Jar. Evidence of Philippine pottery-making dated as early as 6000 BC has been found in Sanga-sanga Cave, Sulu and Laurente Cave, Cagayan. It has been proven that by 5000 BC, the making of pottery was practiced throughout the country. Early Filipinos started making pottery before their Cambodian neighbors and at about the same time as the Thais as part of what appears to be a widespread Ice Age development of pottery technology. Further evidences of painting are manifested in the tattoo tradition of early Filipinos, whom the Portuguese explorer referred to as Pintados or the 'Painted People' of the Visayas. Various designs referencing flora and fauna with heavenly bodies decorate their bodies in various colored pigmentation. Perhaps, some of the most elaborate painting done by early Filipinos that survive to the present day can be manifested among the arts and architecture of the Maranao who are well known for the Nāga Dragons and the Sarimanok carved and painted in the beautiful Panolong of their Torogan or King's House.…
