This photograph was taken by Tim Flach and it’s from his portfolio called Dogs Gods. Its dimensions are 16.44 in by 11.21 in. This photo shows the dog’s fur cut and shaped into a skeleton. This symbolizes the afterlife for animals. In Mexican culture they celebrate the day of the dead to remember and celebrate the lives of the ones who have died. They often paint their face into skeletons as part of the holiday. In this photo the dog’s whole body is shaped into a skeleton to symbolize animals after their death, and that there is also an afterlife for animals too not just humans.

This painting shows a tiger in a landscape composed of almost entirely cubic form. This technique allows the audience to see the tiger as calm and elegant as it can be as if it was in it’s natural habitat. The painting portrays the opposite of what an absent minded person might think of a tiger. The person might think of it as scary, fierce, and even deadly, but this painting shows otherwise, where the tiger is actually the complete opposite.

This picture shows how the elephant is working hard just to survive. This photograph portrays the type of lifestyle an elephant deals with in its natural habitat. There are barely any shelter for them if harsh seasons were to come about, but tons of freedom a wild animal has, unlike captivated animals used for entertainment purposes.

This painting illustrates a life-sized heron in its beautiful natural habitat. With the subtle colors Audubon uses, the heron expresses an exaggerated pose. It’s landscape depicts the perfect place for a bird like the heron.
