The portrayal and the representation of the Chicano Art Movements are entrenched by the Mexican-American artist who institute artistic personalities and identities in the United States. The plenteous amount of the artist is massively influenced by the immense Chicano Movement (El Movimiento) which, was established in the 1960’s. The influence of Chicano Art was due to the Mexican- Revolution philosophy, art of Pre-Columbia and indubitably European techniques of painting, cultural, social, political issues. The movement took a stand to fight against stereotypes of Mexican- Americans conducive and to resist typical social norms. The movement to concentrate on awareness of collective history, equal opportunity, grants and social mobility. Chicanos have used the movement in pursuit of expressing their cultural values. Ever since it first appeared in America the art of Chicanos has matured to illustrate common struggle and social issues in conjunction with uniting the youth of the Chicano people to their culture and history. Chicano Art is not only Mexican- American artwork; it further emphasizes and accentuates the histories of the Chicano people in a superb and sublime way of American art.

Hispanic art, food, and entertainment all have a common theme; they are all fun, light-hearted, yet fulfilling and rich in cultural heritage. On one side, Mexican culture in particular loves to make fun of itself. There are many depictions in song and art of lazy Mexicans in large sombreros with thick mustaches eating burritos. On the other hand artists like Diego Rivera paint large murals depicting rich historical events like the revolution, in bold colors on controversial topics (This Old, n.d.).

“Every good composition is above all a work abstraction. All good painters know this. But the painter cannot dispense with subjects although without his work suffering impoverishment” (Diego Rivera’s Famous Quotes). Diego Rivera, a popular artist in San Francisco, explains why there is a value to his painting; all good works are ambiguous but, one who paints cannot display a message without having experience. Diego Rivera’s latest mural in San Francisco called Pan-American Unity, a valuable treasure to the city reflects with Diego Rivera 's’ quote because he laid out many symbols and figures that highlight his adventure and experiences. Pan-American Unity has five panels in total, and was created for Golden Gate International

We were assigned to make a piece of art to tribute our artist that best puts him or her in thought. There were nine groups honoring nine different artists. I feel that the tribute to Dario Escobar was truly the most effective. Escobar is a well-known artist born in Guatemala. He is famous for his many abstract ideas for artwork and his theme for many of his work being made of sports gear and some covered in gold leaf. I will prove the effectiveness of Escobar’s tribute from the group’s presentation and the principles and elements of art used by the group.

Artworks have played an indelible work to the lives of humanity. The creative nature in Artists is a complex matter to define. The uncertainties in the intrinsic nature in art lay difficult aspects that can only be answered by values, themes and skills depicted in an artist artwork. Apart from playing the intricate psychological effect on humans, the artworks have been used as a tool of expression that has been revered and uniquely preserved for future generation.

Art is an object or piece of work that brings one pleasure. Art is also something you see or feel and you cannot even begin to describe the ways you like it or how it makes you feel. Art is something that portrays beauty and happiness. Art lets you see the world through another person’s perspective.
