He is able to change from one style to another to match better with a book’s narrative. However, Tonatiuh consistently draws in one style with barely any variations. Overall, Diaz has a diverse portfolio for young readers to enjoy. Although he has various styles, he is consistent with his bright and saturated color
Alebrije is a brightly colored Mexican handicraft sculpture of an animal or fantastical creatures. They are made of wood or paper mache, and then they are painted to stand out. The bright colors help make them stand out, but the interesting creatures that they are sculpted into makes them pop out all by themselves. They started in the neighboring city of Mexico City, La Merced where a man named Pedro sold them locally for many years.
The artist uses several hues of the spectrum including red, orange, yellow, green and blue colors to create a sense of warmness and coolness of his painting. The intensity of some colors the artist chose to use attract viewers’ psychological understanding. The artist employs a several elements of art to create a focal point of the painting. The focal point of this painting is Don Francisco Vasquez de Coronado. We can observe that most of his men and even the man on his left eyes are drew to him directly as he leads the march.
There is no way to know everything there is to know. This means that knowledge will always be inherently limited by numerous different factors. According to DesCartes, knowing can only be applied to what one has clearly observed to be true (111). Observable knowledge can be limited by things such as background and sex. However, the greatest limitation may be lack of skepticism, whether it be questioning oneself or an authority.
The story of Candide does not lack in disturbing and often confusing passages but one passage that I found particularly disturbing was the passage of Doctor Pangloss explaining what happened to the castle and everyone in it. Pangloss goes to describe that Cunegonde was raped and “disemboweled by the Bulgar soldiers”. He talks about how everyone was killed and that the entire area was destroyed. Not a stone was left standing and every tree was cut down. It is absolutely disturbing how much detail he is able to provide and astonishing that he himself survived the ordeal at all.
I gained some insight from this piece of artwork. I chose to start with this video due to my background knowledge on the Virgin of Guadalupe. However, I obtained so much more knowledge after viewing this. The thing that was most striking to me was when Juan Diego presented his cloak to the bishop, not only did the requested roses fall, but also the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Next, I observed the Sun Stone documentary.

In the series of prints, Los Caprichos, there lies a dark, ominous visage of humanity, one in which we see the artist 's future work following the same style. The Sleep of Reason (fig 1). A human sleeps, quite peacefully, as if unintentionally oblivious to the bats and owls and lynx that lay in wait, ready to strike with wide eyes. A singular creature stands out from the rest, as it is staring at the viewer, rather than focusing on the sleeping figure. This forces us to meld with the world presented in the piece, to become an active participant in the world.
On this painting, the author presents a woman with vivid color on the front and cold color in the background. He focuses on the woman’s body especially breast, hips and face with staring eyes. Personally the woman’s face remains me an African mask very similar to the Picasso’s work“ Les Demoiselles D’ Avignon. Looking at the Konning picture I can feel an example of violence how he treats a body’s woman. Instead, a portrait of beautiful Venus we can notice broken body far from ideal.

El Mac, born Miles MacGregor, is an internationally renowned graffiti artist whose gorgeous large-scale works blur the lines between fine art and graffiti. Graffiti art is a natural progression for the FAC, following in the artistic traditions of mural art that extends back to our inception as an institution.

Mac has since worked consistently toward developing his unique rendering style, which utilizes repeating contour lines reminiscent of ripples, turning patterns and indigenous North American art. He has been commissioned to paint murals across the U.S., as well as in Mexico, Denmark, Sweden,
The final scene of Voltaire’s Candide describes a purposeful and efficient group of individuals. In his essay, Kant addresses the question of “what is enlightenment” by describing a state of “self-incurred immaturity” riddled with “a lack of the resolution and the courage” to use one’s own understanding of the world (58). Candide and his friends each “[make] an effort to make use of there abilities” and each participate in a division of labor that requires specialization in a skill (Voltaire 79). Having “the courage to use [their] own understanding” to work in the garden rather than relying on an unrealistic philosophy to provide instruction on the way the world works allows Voltaire’s characters to come full circle after an adventure full of misfortunes (Kant 58).
When one is not used to thinking for themselves, this can lead to the naive nature of Candide. After having multiple life experiences and seeing how cruel human nature can be, is a way of being exposed to educating yourself through real life experiences. Even after going through hard times and many negative experiences Candide remains optimistic. He may have been enlightened through his life experiences that in the end leads him to think differently. From the beginning Candide is introduced as a naive and very gullible man, he believed everything anyone would tell him. He is attracted to a woman and becomes fascinated by her.
