The clip Revolutionary Leaders is about the Mexican revolution, what caused the war and the two main leaders of this war. The revolutionary leaders were Emiliano Zapata, who was in charge of the south and Francisco (‘Pancho’) Villa, who was in charge of the north. Both men wanted land reform and a weaker central government, but had different views for the land reforms. The people of Mexico were not happy with their government.

In the period that followed the revolution, Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and Jose Clemente Orozco would become famous for presenting the history of Mexico, and of the three Rivera and Orozco would present their interpretation of Zapata, showing the symbolic strength of Zapata and the prevalence of his myth. Artists are as well as a proxy for the popular imagination since many ideas that they would express in their art would be what a section society. This reflects back on the manner in which many Mexicans during 1920 and 1930 being illiterate would come to understand their history and identity through their murals. Out of these artists, the one who would make Zapata into a hero would be Diego Rivera. The mural originally painted in the archway of the Palacio de Cortes in Cuernavaca includes the history of Morelos in which Zapata is present.

“If we want to live at peace with ourselves, we need to tell our stories” (3). In Richard Wagamese’s novel, “Indian Horse”, a man named Saul Indian Horse is introduced and he tells his story. He faces a lot of hardships on his journey, including racism, physical abuse, and sexual abuse. He is exposed to violence multiple times. Saul’s experiences help readers understand what it is like as an Indigenous person growing up in Canada.

Chicana/o was positioned between indigenism and indigeneity because it emerged from various forms of creativity and political face during the Chicano movement. In addition, it was established following redeployment of different tools from the initiative of the previous indigenism but having different goals and motives as well as the outcome (Rios, 2013). During the late stages of artistic development, pictorial presentations of the indigeneity have been openly embraced by Mexico. It has been widely used as a means of declaring the voice of independence.

Only his hands feet and a piece of his hat are seeming on photo. There are Rivera's different paintings about the Flower Seller Rivera wasa a hard communist. He wanted to explain working class' difficulty A rich home has flower but some people's life doesn't have it. They have to carry heavy loads. Also

The Virgin of Guadalupe is a worldly known work of art; Jeanette Favrot Peterson questions the meaning of this iconic symbol in her article The Virgin of Guadalupe: Symbol of Conquest or Liberation? Peterson argues that this symbol is not only of religious connotation but of political value to freedom as well. Furthermore, paraphrasing her claims, that it was not until the nineteenth and twentieth century’s did the image reach its fullest potential of bringing together a fragmented people and become known as the “Mother of Mexicans.” The legend says that Juan Diego was visited by the Virgin on the hill of Tepeyacac and that she sent a message with him that she wanted a church built in her name, only after the third visit was he able to convince

You tell me, and I won’t put it down on the form, No-one will know but you and me”. It’s obvious that the author, Thomas King, is trying to make awareness about the treatment of Aboriginals are facing in

One particular graphic Restall uses in chapter two is titled “Veracruz N2” in which is described as depicting, “the arrival of Cortez in Veracruz and the reception by Moctezuma’s ambassadors.” Restall uses this pictures to show how the Spanish armada was depicted in the seventeenth century. He then explains how this painting fits the myth of “the Kings army” and explains some of the inaccuracies of the painting itself. In this regard, he mentions that “Conquistadors were soldiers and nothing lese when Ilarione da Bergamo heard of the Conquest from Spaniards in Mexico in the 1760s…” Transitioning from this point, Restall explains how the myth of the Spanish Conquistadors are slowly viewed more and more as “the King’s

The indigenous people are literally crashing into the buildings produced by the colonizing culture, “Look out! Bob shouts. There are Indians flying into the skyscrapers and falling on the sidewalk.” (King 63) and it adequately represents the lack of adaptability of the Native Canadians. Thomas King taps again into the effects of colonialism and notions the indigenous people as uneducated and an untamed species.

In the altar’s center is “a plaster image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, quarter-life size, its brown Indian face staring down on the woman” (Paredes 23). The implication of the stare is of criticism as the Virgin, symbolic of an ideal Mexican womanhood, looks down on Marcela, whose Anglo features starkly contrast with the Virgin’s, and whose actions are in opposition to the values that she represents. This carefully constructed scene is meaningful. Marcela’s lifeless body lies between the bed and the altar, and opposite to the altar is Marcela’s shrine dedicated to Hollywood movie stars. These are the visual images of the opposing forces that characterize the Mexican-American struggle for resistance against American cultural hegemony.

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.

This painting was created in 1939 by Frida Kahlo. Kahlo created this painting shortly after her divorce with her then husband Diego Rivera. It is said that the painting is used to represent the different sole characteristics of Frida. One of the images represents the traditional Frida in Tehuana costume with a broken heart, the other is seen as an modern day independent Frida. The period of the artwork

Known for his defining role in the Mexican Mural Movement, Diego Rivera sought to create paintings that depicted the Mexican renaissance and socialist ideas of Mexican politics. After some time studying in Europe, Rivera was influenced by Italian renaissance artist Giotto to paint using fresco techniques (famsf.org). “Two Women and a Child” serves as an example of the theme he portrays in many of his paintings. While the fresco technique was predominantly used during the Italian renaissance, Rivera revitalized this ideal by including it in his painting of “Two Women and a Child”. Rivera’s use of techniques in Two Woman and a Child provide viewers with an understanding of the strength, pride, and perseverance Mexico had during the Mexican Renaissance.
