The Mexican mural painting is very colorful, and contains lots of details. These pictures are usually very “busy” and don’t have a simple layout to them. This particular Mexican mural contains lots of “messages” and meanings not simply portraying a scenery. Many of Mexican murals, due to the time at which they were painted, had a strong political message in them. They were a way to express political views artistically.

These blog contained some very interesting art, I found these works of art rather interesting when reading through the assigned reading. Its interesting how by exaggerating human characteristics the art becomes so comical. I liked these paintings because they are lighthearted and are simply there for enjoyment. I like when an artist likes to not only express himself but also help others lighten up their audience’s moods.
