His artwork is cheerful and supportive with caribbean colors. His characters that he draws lack eyeballs. The sun is the main source in his painting along with the very intense coloring. His drawing are filled with dots, brush strokes and usually flowers. His inspiration for the last 40 years has been from the Cibao Valley.
His art work reminds me of the Latino culture. This art piece has lots of details that tell the story of Ruben Salazar death and how “police brutality" did occur and how they killed an innocent person without any reason. The picture does not display any threat to anyone besides the officer that shot the tear gas projector. In the Death of Salazar painting we see on the right side, the movie theater that is showing the death of Ruben Salazar. Moving toward the left in the center of the portrait we see the Silver Dollar Bar.
Diego Rivera fuses the stress of blue-collar workers and the beauty of colors to create a fresco piece that demonstrates America’s center of industry, Detroit. All of the details in the piece, Detroit Industry, have a purpose, down to the colors that are chosen. This artwork of his is admired by many and illustrates a strong message about the flow of the factories and the relationship between technology and manufacturing (Smith). Rivera’s life started out in the year of 1886, in Guanajuato City, located in Central Mexico.
Referred to as “the best representative of the Mexican sculptural movement at the time” by Diego Rivera, I chose to do my research on Guatemalan painter and sculptor Rafael Yela Günther. I am attracted to his work because long before I knew who he was I saw some of his sculptures personally in Guatemala and I was truly impressed. Naturally my interest to know more about his artwork grew when I learned that Rivera had some influence on him during their time working together in Teotihuacan. Rafael Yela Günther was born on September 18, 1888 in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.
It is important for other cultures to view Chicano art to see the daily struggles, at times they are often bypassed and forgotten. There is a part of San Francisco where these murals exist and where the Chicano culture is much alive, this is known as “The Mission”. Through the analyzation of these

Motleys Artwork The 1920s and 1930s was a time when everyone was inspired by jazz and urban, black expression.
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.
As you move to the right you'll see a sickle and a hammer stabbing a heart. The sickle and hammer reference to the Soviet flag and what it represents. The Soviet union and their ideals of communism were striking fear in the hearts of americans because “Communism was an ideal that
Thus, visual text in Chicano art is a significant expression that often incorporates signs and symbols from ancient past and contemporary times to portray the history, heritage, memories and visions of Chicano society. Vargas asserts, “Chicano artists were perceived as important activists in official manifestos like El Plan Espiritual de Azatlán, which promoted nationalism, seeing art as the key to organization that transcends all religious, political, class, and economic factions or boundaries” (p. 12). Subsequently, a personal expression of the Chicano experience might have social or emotional impact without engaging in the polemics that accompany political art. For instance, Michigan artist and art teacher José Narezo had voiced his view in art; “I believe that art needs to be pure in the sense that it comes from the emotions within.” For Narezo, Chicano art represented a universal consciousness or humanistic attitude rather than a certain image, style or political allegiance.
Los Explotadores, painted by Rivera in 1926, depicts different types of groups during the Mexican revolution. The mural shows a few peasant women who seem hard at work. In the time the huge representation of the women who seemed to work and give just as much as the men. The next person seems to almost be crucified by the looks of the situation and orientation of the body. One can conclude that this person represents the indigenous people of Mexico who at the time were the most stripped of their rights and land.
She is carrying light to the western frontier. In the painting, the western frontier is represented as dark and the angel is making it shine for them. She represents the freedom and enlightenment that Americans would bring to the west. This highlights why manifest destiny was the most significant reason for the Mexican-American

Art was and still is a big thing in Italy. During the Italian Renaissance (14th to 16th century), art was considered to be an important role in society and paintings from the Italian Renaissance still exists today. Some artworks are Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci and The Peasants Wedding by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. These 2 artworks shows that they are from the Italian Renaissance through art characteristics such as S shapes/curves, Chiaroscuro, and how it is Realistic. With these art characteristics, it shows how they are inspired by humanism, individualism, and secularism (HIS).
Subsequently, the contrasting imagery suggests that even if she were to re-enter the physical space of Mexico at that very moment, there would be no true ever-present Mexico to which she could refer to. For Kahlo, Mexico does not suggest either a conclusive national personality because that is impossible when the past was in ruins and the future was continually being compromised with modernity which is aptly represented in her painting as the roots of the Mexican plants stretched out and entwined with the power cords of the US loudspeakers (Volk 2000 177). As a result, the Self-Portrait not only complicates the notion of the emergence of a Mexican nation — which Rivera was working so hard to depict — but seems to parody his attempt to merge
Introduction Visual and performing arts tend to act as separate entities within the field of education; considerably isolated from the majority of academia, these sectors are often considered to be secondary or elective options after completing primary education. The arts are an essential part of a well-rounded education, however, when an institute begins a budgeting process, the arts are rarely considered a top priority. For example, during periods of recession many public schools within the United Stated were forced to cut visual, performing and musical arts programs, despite studies that proved the exposure to the arts to be beneficial for students both academically and in extracurricular activities. Learning in an art-infused environment
