I have to write a 3-5 page written analysis of the "Pan American Unity" mural at the Diego Rivera Theater at City College of San Francisco.
Explain what you see as the main goal of the writing, its purpose is to become a mural expert and share my expertise with others through critical written essay that discusses Diego Rivera's Pan American Unity mural.
Explain what you see as the challenges you face as you begin to work on this piece of writing- what makes murals different than other forms of art , understanding the content of the artwork -the time period and the events that are happening when the piece was created and who are the people in the mural- what roles did they play and why did Diego include them in mural and my introduction.
I took Art History one semester and we studied that mural along with others. He was an interesting charater and I'm sure you will find lots of interesting information about him. The other artist I know is famous foe some of his murals is Picasso. He did some murals during World War 2. You could look at some of them to see the differnce between the two artist. I also know that Rivera was a comunist and some of his work was banned here in the uniter states. I always felt the purpose of his art was to show Latin culture, but also equality and unity. What popped out to me was the way he displayed people. The expresions on their faces and what they are doing in the painting. It's knid of like a story. These are just a few suggestions I thought of. Hope they help a little.
ReplyDeleteThe paper is great in the fact that it explained the mural, however there was no analysis of the mural or the painter's thoughts while creating this mural. The information on the mural was a great place to start, I would just suggest that you add the analysis of the mural and maybe talk about how his work differs from other painters of his times and consider how his painting is different from other paintings. Otherwise, great work! The mural sounds very interesting.
