Flower Festival: Feast of Santa Anita

The painting is about nine black students who tried to enter one of the most highly accomplished and prestigious school in Arkansas, Little Rock High School on September 23, 1997. As these students were entering the school they got assaulted with stones, rocks and rubbish by the whites. As you can see on the painting Domingo tried to capture as much of the horror on the canvas that those black

At first glance I would describe this artwork as a busy piece of art, but taking a closer look I think the painting gives off a happy, positive and united feeling. The artwork overall is very detailed and there are many hidden messages making it something inspirational. I really like inspiring or any art with a deep meaning behind it. It gives off something even more special when there's a hidden important lesson in the artwork, which this painting has. All in all,

The reason I think Chiapas Paz Mexico mural at City Lights bookstore on Jack Kerouac alley is art because the artist communicates with the viewers by using art theory such as color theory, lines and shapes, and composition on his mural.

Diego Rivera born in 1886 in Guanajuato Mexico. At a young age had a passion for art. At the age of 20 years old was given a scholarship to study in Europe. He studied in Europe for 14 years he first started with Cubist style painting but then in Italy he found his medium. Rivera purpose was a way to express the complexities of the fragile political ground that was going on around the world plus show the struggles of the working class. He then returned back to Mexico to learn and understand the Mexican culture and the working class. He wanted his art frescos accessible to both the rich and poor. He wanted to show in his murals the working class and also how technology was important and how

Diego Rivera was known for a muralist of the Mexican Social Realism. This movement was the brutality of WWI. It attacked capitalist. Rivera was a communist, he believed in the common ownership in social, political, and economic ideology that strived to maintain social order. One example of this

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.).

Pablo Picasso was considered the greatest artist of the 20th century because of his unique styles and techniques. Pablo Ruiz y Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain on October 25, 1881 to a professor of art named Jose Ruiz Blanco and his wife Maria Picasso Lopez. Because of his fathers’ occupation, Picasso’s talent was quickly noticed and appreciated. Don Jose, an art teacher, moved Picasso and his family to La Coruna and then to Barcelona where he was Picasso’s instructor at the fine arts academy. At the age of 10 Picasso made his first paintings, and performed brilliantly on the entrance exams to Barcelona’s School Of Fine Arts. From there he went to the academy of San Fernando Madrid, and returned to Barcelona in 1900. In

Bright colors jumping at you asking for attention, images so real viewers can not tell the difference. These are the thoughts that came to my head as I gazed at two works of art by two Mexican artists at MoLAA museum of art . I visited two museums, Bowers Museum of cultural Art in the heart of Southern California and the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach for my report unfortunately I only liked the works in MoLAA and will talk about it through out my paper. I will talk about two Mexican artists Rafael Cauduro and David Alfaro Siqueros that caught my eye, and made me want to learn more of them and their approach to art. Siqueiros caught my eye and interest because according to his biography “no

It is a very unique painting. It uses many different colors. It also uses line perfectly. There are many different types of line used. It uses a continuous line pattern in the painting. The shapes used are mostly circles, triangles, rectangles. The colors that are used are amazing and warm. Picasso uses these things very well. The movement of the piece drives the eyes to the middle of the page. This also goes with the rhythm of the piece.

Pablo Picasso, born Pablo Ruiz, was destined to become an artist at a very young age. Born in Malaga, Spain on October 15, 1881, the young artist began to follow in the footsteps of Jose Ruiz Blasco—his father. Many say that Picasso's love for art was

This painting, The Woman Grinding Maize, shows what a lot of people feel about work; even though you don’t like it you still have to do it. The woman face expression demonstrates sadness, exhaustion and pain. I can see how she doesn’t have the best job but she still does her job with pride. This painting teaches me that I have to do the best job no matter how much I dislike it and take pride in what I do. Rivera really demonstrates these feelings in the woman grinding the maize, she is looking down with almost seems her to be nearly closed; her back is gloomed hunch backing down. Diego Rivera shaded her face down darker than the rest of her body to emphasize the sadness in her work. So based on all those details I feel as Rivera demonstrated these feeling openly. When I see this painting I see exactly what Diego is showing, the day-to-day life of a working woman.

Her paintings represented “the cultural nationalism of [Mexico]” (Meadows). She had a strong artistic style in which she showed her Mexican patriotism and her communist ideals. In addition, she also made political statements on the U.S. and the industrialization.

This image may interpret parts of Diego Revers past where he was apart of the Mexican Communist party in 1992 to 1999. He was beginning to form ties with mexico which the party disapproved of. He was able to explore his own passions and became well liked in the United States. The people who opposed his ideas asked for his art to be removed. He was a very popular artist but, also popular in those who disagreed with his views.

This painting is divided into three equal parts by the arches in the background and the characters correspond to each of these arches (TV12). The father is in the middle portion of the painting. The lines of perspective created by the tiled floor, draws our attention to the swords that the father is holding and the vanishing point lies just behind the handles of the sword. Our angle of vision is such that we are looking directly at the main figures groups, particularly the father. A single light source from the left of the picture illuminates the characters and also focuses our attention to the father holding the sword. This creates a ‘theatrical’ effect. The background is simple and stark so our attention is focussed on the figure groups in the painting. The painting has a wide tonal range that makes the composition logical and balanced. The colours used in this

Have you ever wondered why artists make different variants of their fellow designers work? The incident I will be telling you about is when Pablo Picasso made 58 renditions of Diego Velázquez’s painting ‘Las Meninas.’ This is a very unique piece of art that has been well known in the art industry for the different variations that were made of it. In my essay I will be giving a description of the original piece of art, talking about why he made 58 depictions of ‘LasMeninas’ and what they consisted of, as well as comparing and contrasting the authentic paintingto the modified ones. As we look at the original painting we see several girls huddled around a princess. In the background we see Diego Velázquez examining the women as he begins to paint. I believe that Velázquez was trying to illustrate that without the help of lower class individuals the princess or any person in power couldn’t be successful. One reason I believe this is because Señor Velázquez’s title of the painting, ‘The ladies in waiting.’ This is the english translation of the Spanish words ‘Las Meninas.’ Although the main character seems to be the princess the maids are included in the title and his picture which to me shows their significance. I think he created this painting because he wanted to explain something that he felt was important in a piece of art. I believe this is because of what he centered the piece around. His painting made clear that he was trying to show the
