6th Post

This week for my post I am required to post a painting by a Latin American artist. The artist I chose is Diego Rivera. Rivera was born on December 8, 1886 and died November 24, 1957. He was married to the Latin American artist Frida Kahlo. Most of his art involved his political views, which in his case was communism. He painted many mosaics, in many cities such as New York, San Francisco, Mexico City, Detroit, and more. The picture of his that I posted is called "The Flower Carrier" and I chose this because I believe it is a good representation of Rivera's work. Diego Rivera was a very talented artist, as was his wife. I think that his mural paintings and open views of communism changed Latin America and the world.

Reflection

For the past two weeks good things have happened. I auditioned for the school club Fame, and I am accepted(along with the other eight guys that tried out). I'm not yet sure what being a part of Fame entails, but I believe it will be fun. My swim coach moved from our team, team ATP to COTA(Capital of Texas Aquatics) and so most of my team is moving as well. I think it is a wonderful opportunity to meet new people and hopefully get better. Thank you for reading my blog, and get ready for the next one!
