EL ARTE HISPANICO

(Dancer at the Bar - Fernando Botero)

Peru famous artists, etc
Contemporary latino artists, etc.

1.  Go to the internet and find a painting / sculpture / work of art done by a Spanish-speaking artist about whom you know very little.

2.  Post the work of art on your blog…Give a little information about the artist

3.  Most importantly, explain why this work appeals to you…What draws your eye to the work? What impact does the work have upon its viewers?  What are the symbols / messages contained in the work?  What sort of commentary does the work make about life / society, etc. in general.
