Make 3 claims about this painting, and provide evidence for each.
The artist is trying to portray midwest stereotypes; there are stereotypical rural symbols such as hunting clothes and an old pickup truck. The man in this painting is a hunter; he is holding a rifle and there is a dead deer on his truck. The child has problems with his parents; he is frowning and standing apart from them.
Choose one claim and a paragraph in support.
In Bo Bartlett's "Young Life," the boy has a problem with his parents and/or their lifestyle. In the painting, the child is standing apart from his parents, with his back towards them. This clearly shows rejection and disapproval. He is also frowning, showing that he is dissatisfied with something, most likely his parents. Finally, he is wearing a brightly colored shirt, to make him stand out and distance himself from his family.
