Black Pinto Horse
1:00 PM  FVCC
Description:
On April 29, Monte Yellow Bird Sr., better known in the art world as Black Pinto Horse, will present two sessions in the Arts and Technology Building Large Community Meeting Room on the Flathead Valley Community College campus sponsored in partnership by the Northwest Montana Educational Cooperative and the FVCC Continuing Education Center. Pinto Horse is a nationally-known cultural and educational consultant, presenter, storyteller and horseman of the Arikara and Hidatsa Nation from White Shield, N.D.
Free and open to the public, both programs will feature Pinto Horse’s artwork and will include insights into his experience as an American Indian as well as his journey as an artist.
The afternoon program from 1 to 3 p.m. will be designed to address high school and college students. The evening program begins at 6 p.m. and will be geared toward educators and the community at large. Office of Public Instruction Renewal Units for teachers will be available. Individuals seeking renewal units should arrive between 5:30 and 6 p.m. to register.
Black Pinto Horse attended North Dakota State University and majored in history education with art as a minor. He graduated in 2002 from Minot State University with a Bachelor of Arts in fine arts. Through his art, he best expresses himself through the use of a collection of vibrant colors, gradient hues, shapes and symbols of his traditions. His work reflects his First Nation culture, and the applied color imitates the bright, bold application of Expressionism and the 20th century “Fauvism Movement.”
