Public Art

I went through downtown searching for public art. I came up with many of them but just one caught my eye. It is on Virginia St. next to the "The Biggest Little City In The World" sign. If you actually look the art from the side it looks like they are poker chips, like the ones that they give you in the casino card tables in exchange of money, but if you look at each one from the top they have different designs. The orange ones have a pair of butterflies on top, the one with red has fish on them, and the one that is just blue and sky blue has a big dove-with its wings spread- on top. I just think that this piece of art goes just right in downtown since they look like poker chips and most of downtown are casinos.

Drifting Picture Project


It was pretty hard to chose what to take pictures of for my drift. While I was walking around downtown I noticed that most of the buildings have so many windows. So I decided to take pictures of some buildings that have quite a few windows but I didn't want to take pictures of casino buildings instead I took pictures of fancier looking buildings. My favorite one is the first picture and the last picture. The roof on the last picture reminds me of the Veterans Memorial .

In my opinion I think that John Taylor's drawing is more representational which to Howling Wolf's drawing is the one with more abstract. John Taylor's drawing is more focused on the actual event of the day of the Treaty it is more real and Howling Wolf's drawing focuses more on where the Treaty took place like someones image of the place. Both drawings what so ever still represent the same cultural and the treaty. In Taylor's drawing you know that the Native Americans are all one and that they are all involved with whatever happens in their tribe and you know that by seeing how all of them are all gathered together in the Treaty Signing. In Howling's you also know that the women's role take part in such a big event not like in Taylor's, that women are not involved in big events like this one.
