Drift Project Photos

I went Downtown with my boyfriend to do the Drift project, we started on S. Sierra St. in search of inspiration. It wasn't until I looked at a brick wall ahead of me that I found what I wanted to go looking for. One side of the brick wall was white, covered in paint, the other was its original red color. The paint had changed the texture of that half of the wall. That's when I decided that my theme was going to be Contrast and Texture. Continuing north on Sierra we walked up towards the Silver Legacy and back south on N. Virginia St. I took photos of walls and the ground only they're not fully distinguishable because they're all close-ups.

John Taylor's drawing of the Treaty signing is more representational, whereas Howling Wolf's is more abstract. Howling Wolf's drawing focuses a lot on the land the treaty took place and on the Native American culture. Taylor's is more realistic, it focuses more on what was going on there. Our attention is drawn to what is going on in the center of the drawing. Native Americans were more considerate of women's role in the various tribes, but in Taylor's case, women were not involved in any big, governmental issues.
