    783 Words  | 4 Pages

    Historians often divide the Mexican Revolution into three main periods of fighting due to its length and complexity. Of the three periods, the one that had the most impact on Mexican society at the time was the first phase in which Francisco Madero overthrew Porfirio Diaz as new revolutionary leaders such as Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa arose. This period allowed people that were not usually involved in politics to become more involved. The phase of the revolution that had the most potential to create change in Mexican society later was the third one that saw Conventionalists take on Constitutionalists for control of the country. This stage created the Constitution and led to a single political party gaining control of México.

  • Two Women And A Child Diego Rivera

    604 Words  | 3 Pages

    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.

  • How Did Agustin Iturbide Impact On Society

    Agustín de Iturbide was a Mexican military leader who became the self-proclaimed emperor of Mexico in the early 19th century. While he is often credited with achieving Mexican independence from Spain, his reign as emperor was short-lived. While Iturbide is revered by some as a hero of Mexican independence, his legacy is marred by his self-interested actions and policies, which ultimately harmed the country and its people. Iturbide’s overall effect on Mexico was negative because even after declaring independence for Mexico, he operated a tyrannical monarchy, chased power for personal benefit, and greatly injured economic and social development within Mexico.

This would lead to a restart of violence in Mexican lands specifically in the country.

    Introduction In this research, I am studying about the similarities and difference of interpretations between artists and non-artists towards street arts, graffiti and murals. I am studying about the interpretations on the three different forms of arts because I am eager to know how in the eyes of the artists who are majoring in these three types of arts see each one of them differently but then appear to be similar by the public (merely of passersby who are lack of interest and knowledge in arts). It is undeniably true that different people have different perspectives on everything. In arts, some say that the views and interpretations of artists and non-artists towards an artwork are different.
