CAMP, Six Tipis�Four Red, One Blue, One Black

Ethnographic Notes

Drawn upside down in ledger.See plate 3 for discussion of the interaction of blue/black and red/orange. This plate resembles Plate 3. p. 4 CAMP. Three Tipis, Two Red, One Blue. Three tipis stand in a row, overlapping and filling the page. The page is small, 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, so this overlapping and X-ray vision through the front object to the one behind makes it possible to use all the space. Lead pencil outlines the tipis. Seven poles gathered at the smoke hole are drawn in the left tipi, and six on the two others. The tent flaps are all open. Each tipi has a line bisecting it vertically down the middle. The two left-hand tipis are filled with orange coloring. The third tipi is filled with blue. Media: Lead pencil outlines with fill of lead, orange, and blue p. 5 CAMP. Three Tipis, Two Red, Black in the Middle. Three tipis stand in a row, overlapping and filling the page. Like the three tipis on the preceding page, X-ray vision makes it possible to see through the overlapping sides. Five poles are drawn in the left tipi gathered at the smoke hole, five on the second, and seven on the third. The tent flaps are all open. Each tipi has a line bisecting it vertically down the middle. The first and third tipis have orange fill. The middle tipi has lead pencil fill. Media: Lead pencil outlines with fill of lead, orange, and blue
