La Distortion Mexicana Analysis
The mural painted by an artist shows a Hispanic man who’s going to war with other Hispanic men a few feet above him on horses. The man holds a weapon and a flag which resembles his country. His expression is nowhere near fear instead it’s courage and commitment on what he’s going to do. There’s a title stating “La Revolucion Mexicana” that translates to The Mexican Revolution that happened in Mexico. Then a phrase “I rather die on my feet than live on my knees” is a metaphor of what the man in the painting had to say. In relations to an image, this painting signifies a protest from the Hispanic

    Mexico Tequila Crisis Analysis

    The Mexican financial crisis of 1994-1995, also known as the “Tequila Crisis”, took place in December 1994 and is known as the first global crisis of last decade of the twentieth century. The crisis had little to do with the external debt situation and more to do with the short term foreign exchange problem which led to the devaluation of the peso against the U.S dollar.

    Summary: The Chicana/O Mural Environment

    After reading chapter 4, “The Chicana/o Mural Environment”, I thought of all the murals I’ve seen and how I didn’t really pay attention to them. The author focuses on murals located in Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. I smiled when I read this because I’ve seen at least one mural in each city. The reading talks about how each mural has meaning and most of the time the meaning will depend in the area that is located in. I’m from L.A county so I’ve been to East L.A. I’ve seen many murals there, but never really thought much of them. East L.A. is full of history, especially for the chicano community and it’s sad to say that people that don’t live there might not know much about the beautiful art that surrounds the area. Next time I go,…

    Aurora Reyes: Ataque A La Maestra Rural

    Mirkin’s article, “Aurora Reyes: ataque a la maestra rural,” was about one of the most iconic women in Mexican history. She was a very inspiring woman, she still found time to create her murals and fight for what she believed in all while being a single mother of two and having a job. Reyes was someone who fought for things that were dear to her such as education, children, and equality for women. I found it interesting but not surprising that her murals reflected her beliefs and illustrated the essence of their importance. Unlike the other artists who depicted the revolution, Reyes’ murals showed the unfortunate but somewhat inevitable side of the revolution.…

    A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Argument Against Violence By Chavez

    Consistently through his argument, Chavez using rhetorical devices, such as personification and imagery, to develop his argument against violence. In lines 65 and 66 the author explains that violence never comes as a victory. He uses personification to explain that, “When victory comes through violence, it is a victory with strings attached.” By using personification it allows the audience to better understand the author’s purpose. Chavez also uses imagery throughout the piece to paint a picture to the audience of how nonviolence is more effective. In lines 17 – 32 the author compares the effects of violence versus nonviolence. With violence he says, “There will be many injuries and perhaps deaths on both sides.” As with non-violence Chavez…

I have chosen a work of art image, that portrays the significance of how protesting can reflect as an American experience and identity.…

    My Mexican Flag Cartoon and Angry Readers

    I’ve had a crazy week since I drew a cartoon of the Mexican flag [see above], with the eagle shot dead by a stream of machine gun bullets. The cartoon illustrates the terrible violence in Mexico. Since President Felipe Calderón announced his war on the drug cartels, over 28,000 people have been killed in a civil war that shows no sign of easing. I got a spirited, angry reaction on my blog and in e-mails from Mexican readers who objected to my “desecration of the sacred Mexican flag.”…

    Conflict

    Famous painter Pablo Picasso’s early 1900’s painting of the “Weeping Woman” presents the severe suffering that is caused to women through conflict. Representing a woman devastated by the effects of the Spanish Civil War, Picasso displays a face that is etched with a universal pain felt by all women who have been affected through the loss of men to war. The tears streaming down her excoriated face shows the suffering caused by a woman who has clearly felt the true effect of a conflict. Although millions of men have lost their lived and been damaged physically through war, it is clearly devastated through the…

    Representational Essay

    Here I am again, flipping back and forth thru our book. I am still amazed to find pictures I have never noticed before. On page 422 there is a remarkable mural by Jose Clemente Orozco called “Gods of the Modern World”. At first glance, I noticed these skeletons and in my mind assumed this picture possibly has to do with Dia de los Muertos. It only took a second to realize how completely wrong that thought was. My thought process, as I inspected this picture, was very comical actually. In my head, I was thinking, “Holy Cow! That skeleton is giving birth…to a skeleton!” The strangeness was intriguing! The other skeletons viewing this event are all dressed in academic robes (cap and gown). The skeleton giving birth is lying across stacks of books. Everything about this picture is bizarre to me. It’s not difficult to realize this is abstract. Just by looking at this picture, I’m baffled as to what Orozco was trying to portray. I analyzed the possible meaning for quite a while before I gave in and read the description. The book explains that, “this painting is a warning against the academic who is completely occupied with sterile research or learning that has no value outside of academia” (p 423). I knew something about this abstract painting captivated me, but the message intended by the artist makes this strange skeleton mural even more alluring. As a student, I think I just might have to keep a copy of this painting and its meaning with me until the day I graduate.…

As a consequence of his stance, his left hand was pointing to the church at the background conveys ideology of their religion which is Catholic; his others hand are above the townspeople’s heads symbolises as a shield of protection. The man in the white shirt is standing out in the darkness of the sky. The dark sky is successfully represents the feeling of sadness and hopeless of the townspeople to audiences. Besides, there is a puddle blood in the foreground with a dead body on that.
