to create some art that could teach people who could not read or write about Mexican history. Celebrating the Mexican culture of craft and the Mexico’s history was a key idea in Mexican muralism.

Hernan Cortes’ conquest of the Aztec Empire gave birth to three hundred years of Spanish rule in Mexico. Miguel Hidalgo, a Catholic priest, and leader of the independence movement united: indigenous peasants, poor creoles, nobility in Spanish America and the Catholic church within the colony to depose Spaniard royalist power which Cortes had given birth to (Mckay 684).
