• Considered the greatest Mexican painter of the twentieth century, Diego Rivera had a profound effect on the international art world.

• In a series of visits to America, from 1930 to 1940, Rivera brought his unique vision to public spaces and galleries, enlightening and inspiring artists and laymen alike.

• Diego Rivera was born in Guanajuato, Mexico in 1886. He began to study painting at an early age and in 1907 moved to Europe.

• In Europe he learns about the wall frescoes of the Renaissance

• He believe art should be accessible to all in Mexico no matter the social class

• For him, the frescoes’ size and public accessibility was the perfect canvas on which to tackle themes of the history, progress and future of humanity.

• Like Diego you are creating art accessible to everyone that follows the progress of you town and its hero

By the end of the period your group should (1) have a tribute topic chosen, (2) have all group members signed up for a square on the mural rough draft, (3) have pencil sketches of what will be included on your mural
