Reno Public Art

The Public Art piece I would like to talk about is YAW Mural in Barbara Bennett Park in Reno. In the mural it shows an Indian holding the sun in his left hand and Earth in his right hand and electricity all around the Indian. To his left is a drawing of the planet Earth with a big tree. To the left of that there is another drawing of eagles faces and eagles flying around. In my opinion the art piece is saying that we got the power to save our environment. I could not find any information about the art piece, I googled all that I could to try and find information about the piece. I decided to talk about the piece because I like the way the colors were chosen it makes you get interested in the art piece.

For my drift project I chose to take pictures of different kinds of shadows. I chose shadows because I think that shadows sometimes cast cool images. First two shadows are of a bridge that has two different kind of shadows. Third shadow is of an umbrella that was in front of the post office. Fourth, fifth, and sixth shadow are about art pieces that are in front of the Reno Art Museum. Seventh and eighth shadows are of a trees and leafs that were on Hill st. Ninth shadow is a big shadow that was in the Arlington Park. The last shadow was a light post that was on Arlington st. I chose all these images because they are what most caught my eyes when I was walking around downtown Reno.

                        

Treaty Singing at Medicine Creek Lodge

 think that Treaty Singing at Medicine Creek Lodge by John Taylor is more representational.

Treaty Singing at Medicine Creek Lodge by Howling Wolf is the more abstract painting.

In the form that they are different from each other is that in Howling Wolf's painting seems

like a child drew it because of the way the trees, Indians, tipis, and horse are drawn. One

looks more personal than the other. In John Taylor looks like if he was there as the singing is

going on. Yes he describes it by showing that people gather around and that they are in the
wood. No I do not think that there is a greater cultural difference between the two, they simply draw a different point of view. Yes is suggest that John Taylor was at a Treaty Singing

before. John Taylor draws each Indian as maybe their actual self, they each have their own

face. In my opinion John Taylor's painting is more superior in all the detail that is put into it.

In my opinion I think that the role of the woman in the two society are different in Howling

Wolf's picture woman are not as important as in John Taylor's picture. John Taylor draws  woman in his picture in you can distinguish between the woman and the men. Howling

Wolf's has all the woman facing away only draws their backs and some he draws with

umbrellas and pinkish colors.
