What do you see going on in this work of art? Is there a story depicted?

Native people are setting up their camp group for hunting. It is mid-day/evening and they are preparing to go hunting for food.

What different visual elements (ie: line, color, light, proportions, scale, composition, media type etc.) do you notice, and how do they help you make sense of the artwork?

I see lots of green it makes me feel like I am in nature. The other half is proportioned with the mountain making me feel as if we are in the hunting camp. The oil on canvas matches with the feeling of nature and wilderness.

What choices do you think the museum made about the object’s display?

It was placed in the entrance of the exhibit so that everyone can see it once they entered. It makes the artwork feel important and introduces the general idea of the exhibit itself and its context.
