The \u201cfour pillars\u201d of Western Art often refer to fundamental compositional foundations such as line, color, perspective and form. <\/p>\n

Here, in the American West, fundamental elements read quite differently. As defined by San Antonio\u2019s Briscoe Western Art Museum, the four pillars of American Western Art are subjects that tell the story of frontier life: \u201cCowboys & Ranching, Native Americans, the Vicaro (Vaqueros\/Mexican Culture) and Landscape & Animals.\u201d <\/p>\n

To celebrate one of the four pillars \u2014 animals \u2014 the Briscoe will hold a free community day this Saturday, the \u201cWild West Wildlife Festival,\u201d where all activities revolve around wildlife with a focus on Texas habitats, replete with animal-themed art activities and visits from local wildlife experts. <\/p>\n

These activities celebrate a culture and environment yet to be tamed. <\/p>\n

Free registration is available online<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Free, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 24, Briscoe Western Art Museum, 210 W. Market St., (210) 299-4499, briscoemuseum.org.\u00a0<\/p>\n
