Review Of Frank Romero's Art Piece 'Going To The Olymics'

The painting has certain elements that make it unique; the colors of the painting are derived from five main colors that are displayed throughout the painting, red, white, green, yellow and gray. The colors used in this painting are both realistic and symbolic. Luis Jimenez shows a lot of pride in his works that depict his Mexican culture. These colors come together to make a cartoon like image where the characters and features of the painting look as though they are nonrealistic. The car is somewhat distorted into a rounded moving shape and the characters have real accented features. The car seems to be the center of attention and the man inside the car who is driving stands out the most with his bright yellow shirt and his heart tattooed on his forearm the girl is then leaning on him as though it looks as they are driving through some kind of dream. Where the exhaust that comes from the car being red,

When arriving upon my destination and walking into the museum, they were having difficulty with the lighting so we were ushered into a small theater room and watched a short film about psychiatrists. The film was very mind blowing and saddening. I was totally moved my adrenals

My tour around El Museo Del Barrio in Harlem, New York was a very memorable visit and I got

The museum I chose to visit was the Dali Museum mainly because I have been wanting to check it out since I first moved down here to Florida three years ago. My sister has always been a huge Salvador Dali fan and even has a tattoo of his painting titled “The Elephants” on her side. I am looking forward to experiencing more of his paintings other than his most popular works of art. I am also hoping this experience will give me a greater appreciation for him as an artist by seeing the diversity of his works. What I am least looking forward to is trying to find one work of art that really stands out to me enough to write this paper about. I am sure I am going to find multiple pieces of art that I will love.

Another symbolic image in this mural is the bald eagle. In America, it is also a way of displaying freedom because that is the emblem of our nation. The last main symbol in this mural is the Native American woman because Native Americans were here in the land we call as the United States. They were nomads who traveled throughout the country and even beyond the country since there were no border or a sign displaying if they can pass or not. They were just free to go anywhere with no problem at all. Overall the whole message of this powerful mural is that migrating is natural for the reason that animals and human beings have been migrating since the beginning of time. In other words, they had freedom to migrate from place to place. This message can be connected towards the Latino community because many of them come to America to start a new life where they can have opportunities for themselves and their family. But coming to America, is not allowed without having papers since it is illegal and what Levi Ponce is saying in his mural is that they should come without having a problem because they just want their life change for the

Murals are the quintessential public art embodying the spirit of the community in which they are created. They say this is who we are, this is what we think, this is where we come from, and this is what we want, reflecting most clearly any changes in the sociopolitical environment. Murals lay out a powerful visual image of the ideology of their creators or sponsors, be it the Church during the Renaissance, government funded projects, or individuals expressing opposition. In Mexico, after the Mexican Revolution of 1917, the government commissioned a vast number of mural projects to transmit its revisionist history of the country, and celebrate the empowerment of the underclass in their recent victory. Predominate themes were cultural

The color tone is mostly analogous in the mural; however, there are complementary colors in detail elements such as the artist uses blue and green for large areas to represent river and mountains, uses red and orange to paint houses, huts, horses, small roads and clothes in the village to create emphasis point. For the color tone that artist uses, the harmony of blue and green of the most of the areas can represent the abundance of water or farms in the village and a rainbow ribbon shows what the leader gives to people in the village as

Frank Romero depicts the life of Los Angeles by including symbols such as automobiles, hearts, post stamp, blimp, horse, two men wrestling and an iron to his mural " Going to the Olympics" 1984. Each symbol represents Los Angeles, for example the automobiles represents how essential automobiles are to the citizens of LA. To strengthen this depiction Romero includes hearts above the automobile to represent the love LA has towards cars. The post stamp represents the communication within LA. The blimp represents a known object within LA. The horse and the two men wrestling represent Olympic games at that time period. Romero also includes homage to an Olympian by adding the iron.

The use of the acrylic paint that Sorenson used in this painting was something that I thought was really unique, I haven't seen very many acrylic paintings before. I thought that it was a cool way to see the outside of a baseball stadium, it made everything pop out just a little bit more. For example, I thought it made the EBBETS FIELD sign at the top of the stadium look that much more appealing. I also think that the use of these paints makes everything seem much more energetic, which reflects what the atmosphere at a baseball game is like on a nice summers day at the ballpark. I think when Sorenson was working on this piece he was thinking about how the different colors would affect the vibes that the painting gave the people who looked at it. For example, the people around the entry way going into the park are all wearing bright colors, again I think this could be Sorenson trying to use the bright colors to represent their

The painting is about nine black students who tried to enter one of the most highly accomplished and prestigious school in Arkansas, Little Rock High School on September 23, 1997. As these students were entering the school they got assaulted with stones, rocks and rubbish by the whites. As you can see on the painting Domingo tried to capture as much of the horror on the canvas that those black

The mural “La dualidad” has a strong connection to the history of our people. When the mural was completed in 1985 and it stood 16 feet tall and 46 feet wide. There is a tremendous amount of symbolism within the mural that depicts significant historical events and ideas from our past.The mural is divided into three parts, the left, right, and center. The left side is called “El Mundo de Tezcatlipoca” it represents the negative. The right side is “The world of Quetzalcoatl” it represents the positive. The Center is “Balance” it represents harmony. There are forty three images with specific meanings and history.

Perturbed times in life often were the influence for Picasso’s paintings. Colors and shades were used on the paintings created to reflect all of the troublesome times he went through and how much of an effect those

It specifically shows it in the mural just by the images of the cars and of the hearts above it. the artists choice of colors create a happy mood for this mural because the painting looks happy. life can also be happy in Los Angeles, the city looks happy either way. like just by the hearts it can show the love we have for our cars. it can also show that we have love for our community which is Los Angeles. in my opinion Los Angeles looks like a pretty happy place to me. Romero shows it on his mural that he sees Los Angeles as a happy place too by the colors of the mural and the images in

It shows the struggle and emotions of the Chicanos. Some of the murals like the mural of Mexican history and an unknown really shows all the aspect of their history. It shows the natives, women, men, revolutionaries and the major figures in Mexican history. The home page shows a drawing that represents the mixture of race which makes up the Chicano identity, the Native, Spaniard, and mestizo. This is a very visual history and one can pick some of the emotions and struggle through the paintings but one needs to understand the written history in order to appreciate it better because it makes it easier to identify especially with the major figures. Michelle Rosado makes an interesting point about the murals in the Chicano web site, when she mentions that "one may think that this is the history of all Mexican-Americans, but it is not. The effect of certain events that occurred in Mexican-American history on this community and California, such as the Chicano Civil Rights Movement and the Chicano Moratorium march against the Vietnam war, is addressed. The major outcome of these events emphasized by the web site is the influence it had on art in the Mexican-American culture. However, the history and other effects on all Mexican-Americans throughout the United states is not discussed". I agre with Michelle Rosado that "similar to the web site it [the documentary] does not talk about the very beggining of the Mexican-American

Some of them contain analogies insinuating important issues of the time, mostly of social and political problems that were occurring in America. Rivera began painting murals on public buildings, however, one was considered very controversial relating to the raging war between capitalism and communism. The name of that mural was "The Man at the
