=== Part I ===
The longest of the film cycle, running at about 30 minutes, ''Part I'' comprises most of the narrative of the film cycle in which the woodsman struggles with his journey up the mountain along with his dog.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.fredcamper.com/Film/Brakhage7.html|title=The Art of Vision, a film by Stan Brakhage|last=Camper|first=Fred|date=May 1966|website=www.fredcamper.com|publisher=Film Culture|others=Originally written in May 1966 for a showing in the MIT Film Society in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Camper's essay was first published in Jonas Mekas' "Film Culture", Issue no. 46, in Autumn 1967.|access-date=January 17, 2017}}</ref> Unlike the ''Prelude,'' where there are many instances of superimposed images that are more abstract to the eye, ''Part I'' is more impressionistic. Major parts of the film are in slow-motion; others, in time-lapse photography, speeding up motion. One of the most important images in ''Part I'' is the mountain that Brakhage attempts to climb.
