Chicano Arte/ Hispanic Art

Ever since I can remember I have been into Chicano Arte/ Hispanic Art. It is a different form of art. It depicts the history of a Mexican American.My history In the 1960's the Civil Right Movement through art started (El Movimiento). Art was not just something to look at it told a story. It let Chicanos express their feelings. Chicano art express deep emotional thoughts through art to this day. El Movimiento main objective was to gain and restore Civil Rights of the Mexican Americans. It help enhance education, farm worker rights, voting and political rights and many other aspects. To this day it still exists.

This image depicts the Chicano community boycotting grapes which is one of the major productions of California where the majority of this movement occurred. It has an Aztec warrior stating that they are here to fight for equality and showing the grape juice in red resembling blood shed of the discrimination against them and loss of life in process to gain rights.

  

This is an example of Chicano art which has gone a little away from its original meaning but still tells a story of the love for her but in the banner below is says" My People First"
