Allan+Sapp

This is called "Starting to Make a Tipi," by Allen Sapp, it is a painting that shows someone putting up a tipi. Allen Sapp is another Alberta artist. It says on his website that this is a Cree activity. It is not like other First Nations art I have seen before because it is a painting and does not look traditional. It looks like it has lots of loose paint strokes and uses thick lines. I like the way all of the lines meet and the way it seems like the sun is peeking behind the clouds. I did not read a story, but the title tells me what is happening and I can see how the tipi is being erected. I might like to show something that I learned to do in a painting sometime.

 * I like this painting because it is not a traditional First Nation's painting. It's very unique to the type of painting that it is classified as.


 * I really enjoy how this painting looks. How the trunks of the tipi all meet together in the top right of the canvas makes it a very interesting painting.


 * I really like how Allan painted this picture. It looks like real trunks of a tree.


 * I like this painting because the tipi and the man stand out. I also like how it looks like the sun can just barely be seen behind the clouds.

This painting is called "Life of the Land' by Allan Sapp, it shows a girl rocking a baby in a cradle. He really showed that they are in a tipi that is clearly their house and she is taking care of the baby.

I loved the detail in this picture, it looks really realistic.

This one is called: looking for a tree, By Allen Sapp. It shows a man looking for a certain tree to chop down.


 * I love how this looks so real! The texture on the tree was amazing. A good painting from Allan Sapp.
