Printmaking allows artwork to be more accessible to the public by creating multiple print copies of an original work. There are four main printmaking categories: relief, intaglio, lithography, and serigraphy. Relief printing involves carving the matrix surface to create raised areas that will transfer ink. Intaglio inks are pressed into incised lines on metal plates. Lithography uses a greasy drawing on a stone slab that is treated with acid and inked selectively. Serigraphy uses stencils on a mesh screen to apply paint or ink in a pattern. These various printmaking methods have allowed artwork to be shared more broadly.
This document provides information about printmaking including its purpose of making multiple copies of an original image.

Many cultures meet at USA/Mex. border while artists constantly change images and “place” according to themselves.
“Portrait” is an example of cultural rebirth of Chicana struggling to free self from oppressive gender roles.
Three Mothers of Chicana/o Art
La Virgen Guadalupe, La Malinche, and La Llorona
Cultural figures that re-read in works and represent resistance to repression and assimilation.
Barraza and painting of La Malinche is an example of this.
Retablos: traditional popular miracle paintings on metal, introduced by the Spanish.
Artists connect everyday life with political, sacred, and aesthetics in art.
Culture of Border Art
Culture touches and influences another, passes metaphors and gods before dies. (Metaphors are gods)
New cultures adopt, modify, and enrich images passing them on relating them to prevailing culture and era.
Introduces the concept of “Nepantla”
Nahuatl for in between states, uncertain terrain when moving from place to place, social class, race, sex position, or present to new identity.
Jorge Luis Borge’s Aleph, one spot on earth the contains all people and places residing in peace and unison.
Border in constant nepantla.
Examples of Border Art
Threats/Challenges & Resolutions
Threats
Appropriation by poplar culture, dominant art institutions, and economic depression.
Titles of “Chicana” or “border” artists are demeaning labels stripping legitimacy of the art. Signals inferiority to other artists.
Challenge and subvert imperialism of US and combat assimilation by US or Mexico but acknowledge both.
Supersedes pictorials, depicts soul of artist and soul of pueblo.
Autohistorias: who tells the story and what stories and histories are told.
Becoming dominant in art is not their goal, done for a purpose and a story.
Conclusion
The Border is a historical and metaphorical site where artists transform space, USA and Mexico into one.
Deals with shifting identities, border crossings, and hybridism.
“From earth we are born, to earth we shall return.” (pg. 184)
Discussion
Have you ever been to a border between two countries? What was it like? Do you feel that border arte is truly a representation of multiple cultures between the US and Mexico meshed into one unique culture? Explain.
What does it mean to you when Anzaldua says, “from earth we are born, and to earth we shall return”? Do you think life is a cycle and that earth “eats the dead”?

Posada's most famous works are calaveras, or skeleton images, including "La Calavera de la Catrina" which satirized the upper classes of Porfirio Díaz's time. Most of his imagery had religious or satirical meanings. Since his death, his images have become associated with Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Largely forgotten in his lifetime, Posada's engravings were brought to wider audiences in the 1920s by French artist Jean Charlot. While Posada died in poverty, his calaveras are now well known examples of Mexican folk art and influenced the muralist José Clemente Orozco.

Families build altars and visit graves, decorating with marigolds, candles, photos and favorite foods of deceased loved ones. The traditions have roots in Aztec culture and include making sugar skulls, pan de muertos bread and papel picado decorations. Students will learn more about the holiday by exploring resources and presenting on related vocabulary terms.
This document discusses the relationship between art and various aspects of culture and society from the 20th century to today. It covers how art expresses and comments on life, religion, politics, economics, technology and geography. Artists have portrayed daily life, religious themes, historical events and folk beliefs. The role of art has evolved with advances in areas like photography, film and digital media. Both traditional and modern art forms continue to reflect the times and influence society.
The document summarizes the vision of death in Mexican culture. It discusses three main influences on Mexico's perspective of death: the Pre-Hispanic heritage which saw death as a continuity of life through reincarnation; the Catholic influence which introduced concepts of heaven, hell, and judgment; and the cultural adaptation over centuries which resulted in a view where death is familiar, celebrated alongside life, and a reminder of humanity's equality. The Day of the Dead tradition illustrates how death lives side by side with Mexicans in a joyous yet fearful way.
This is a PowerPoint I created concerning the Mexican holiday of Dias de Los Muertos. I was fortunate enough to have visited Mexico during this event. This gives quite a bit of information about the customs associated with Dias de Los Muertos.
This document provides information about Los Dias de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations, including events, traditions, and vocabulary words. It describes two Day of the Dead celebrations happening in New York City on October 19th and October 31st-November 3rd. It also explains traditions like creating ofrendas (altars) honoring deceased loved ones, visiting gravesites, and symbols like calaveras (skeleton figures), cempasuchitl flowers, pan de muertos bread, and copal incense. Students are assigned a project to research and present a vocabulary word from the document.
This document provides information about the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). It discusses how the holiday is celebrated from October 31st to November 2nd to honor deceased loved ones. Families build altars with photos, foods, and items representing their passed family members. Traditional symbols featured include calaveras (skeleton figures), cempazuchitl flowers, pan de muertos bread, and sugar skulls. The origins of the holiday traditions are explained.
Day of the Dead is an annual Mexican tradition celebrating deceased loved ones. It originated from indigenous Aztec rituals over 3,000 years ago and has since blended with Catholicism. Families build home altars with foods, flowers, photos, and candles to welcome back the souls of the dead and honor their memories. Celebrations also occur in cemeteries, with gravestones decorated and picnics held next to them. The tradition remains an important way to celebrate and remember lost family and community members.
The document discusses prominent artists from South American countries, including painters, sculptors, and writers. It mentions several painters from Ecuador, such as Eduardo Kingman and Camilio Egas, who portrayed indigenous subjects and oppression. The controversial sculptor Oswaldo Guayasamin depicted social and political protests, including a mural showing the letters "CIA" on a skeleton helmet. The document also profiles Nobel Prize winning authors Gabriela Mistral, Pablo Neruda, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, known for their poetry and novels incorporating magical realism. Other notable artists mentioned include painters Fernando Botero and Alejandro Obregon from Colombia.

Movies are like a unify of art. Made possible by science & technology. A lot of people don’t read novels or watch art exhibits, but do go to movies. Film is an important of popular form of humanities.
So much of the groundwork was laid for the humanities, literature and painting. Most creative time in history. 1914-1918 WWl. Killing was made possible in WW1 thanks to science and technology. A big shock. A big impact that the world was falling apart that convinced people to disbelief in traditional religion values. In the 1920 was all into experimentation. “Shocking” people. Things became more realistic, facing crisis such as starvation and unemployment. Writers became more socially conscious about economic and social events (1900-1930s), even painters but in paints. Famous writers (Stravinsky) and painters came to America after WWll to avoid the fragile europe. This became a shift in humanities from Europe to America. European literature, composition, painters has always been dominant and uncomparable with America.
Abstract Expressionism. (1950-1960) Jackson Pollock. Pollock made Americana pictures are pictures looking alike. Another famous artist named Norman Rockwell represented Americana (Typical American Lifestyle… city council meeting…baseball…family gathering) His pictures would be posted in magazine covers called Saturday Evening Post. The other side of the American experience was not so brightening. Unwelcoming African American people, one particular example is throwing rotten tomatoes and writing “nigger” on walls at the school kids. A conservative man with a hat (if you look at pics, everyone wore hat) only in the 1960 men stopped wearing hats. This picture represents a contrast between an old and a new. One of the most important pics in American art history (The Connociour) “Overall painting” is.. “Blue Poles” is represents a contrast between chaos and the way the blue poles paced off one after another acrossed the plane of the picture. Beatniks “rejected American culture etc” very communist, smoking dope etc, and Pollock eventually hanged out with them. Monetization “attach money to anything” and his pictures were very monetized and gained tension.
1960-1970 Pop Art Andy Warhol is the next big figure after Jackson Pollock. Pop Art consisted of painting what was “important”. Consumerism and materialism what.
Celebrating the Mexican Days of the Dead/Los Dios de los MuertosNancy Walkup
The document discusses the Mexican celebration of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and provides suggestions for teaching about it in a classroom. It describes the traditions of the celebration, which involves building altars (ofrendas) honoring deceased loved ones. The author recommends having student groups research artists and build ofrendas dedicated to them as a way to teach about the celebration without focusing on religious aspects. Completed ofrendas would then be displayed as an educational exhibit.
The document summarizes key artworks and artistic movements from 1905 to 1939:
1) It describes Fauvist works like Matisse's Woman with the Hat that used bright, unnatural colors and Kirchner's Street, Berlin that depicted the city as lonely.
2) It discusses Marc's The Large Blue Horses and Der Blaue Reiter group that emphasized spiritual power through color and form.
3) It mentions Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon that used African influences and fractured space, inspiring Cubism.
This document provides an overview of modern art movements from the late 19th century through mid-20th century. It discusses avant-garde art and how modernism developed out of this. Key characteristics of modern art included discarding traditional forms, embracing disruption, and emphasis on innovation. The document then summarizes some influential modern artists and art movements like Cubism, Dada, Surrealism, Mexican Muralists, Social Realism, and the work of Arshile Gorky. It provides context and examples for understanding the emergence and development of modern art.
The Day of the Dead is celebrated in Mexico, Central America, and parts of the US from November 1-2. During this time, families create ofrendas or offerings on altars for deceased loved ones which typically include photos of the deceased, their favorite foods, pan de muerto bread, flowers, music, and candles. Calacas are traditional skeleton decorations used to represent death during the Day of the Dead celebrations.
This document provides information about Los Dias de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, which is celebrated in Mexico and parts of Latin America. It discusses traditions such as creating ofrendas (altars) honoring deceased loved ones and visiting gravesites. Specific cultural elements are explained, including calaveras (skeleton figures), pan de muerto (bread of the dead), cempasuchil flowers, cascarones (decorated eggshells), papel picado (cut paper decorations), and copal incense. Students are assigned a worksheet on the topic and can choose a project to present creatively to the class.
The document discusses the history and traditions of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrated in Mexico and parts of the United States on November 1st and 2nd. The ritual has its origins in indigenous Aztec traditions at least 3,000 years old, involving honoring and welcoming deceased loved ones. Though the Spanish tried to suppress the ritual, it survived and combined with All Saints' and All Souls' Days. Today, the celebration involves constructing altars and visiting cemeteries to remember the dead.
The cherry: beauty, softness, its heart-shaped plastic has inspired artists since Antiquity. Cherries and strawberries were considered the fruits of paradise and thus represented the souls of men.

1. A
look
into
Global
Art
and
the
theme
of
death
in
Mexican
art

2.
The
theme
of
death
fascinates
me,
as
it
is
one
thing
that
links
all
people
of
all
cultures
together.
I
am
specifically
intrigued
in
how
the
concept
of
death
is
involved
in
certain
cultures
art,
such
as
Mexico.
It
is
late
October
and
I
am
traveling
to
Mexico
to
experience
the
Day
of
the
Dead,
or
Dia
de
Muertos.
This
is
a
day
in
Mexico
where
the
country’s
past
is
involved,
such
as
Aztec
beliefs,
and
a
day
where
death
is
celebrated.
This
is
the
ancient
Aztec
death
god
Mictlantecuhtli,
who
influenced
Mexico’s
current
view
on
death.
Skeletal
imagery
in
the
Aztec
world
was
a
symbol
of
health
and
ferPlity,
which
could
have
developed
Mexico’s
view
of
death
meaning
rebirth.
3.
I
wandered
through
the
city
of
Tzintzuntzan,
Mexico
to
learn
more
about
the
history
of
Day
of
the
Dead.
It
is
a
joyous
yet
sacred
Pme
where
people
rejoice
the
souls
of
the
dead.
As
seen
in
this
picture,
Mexico’s
celebraPon
of
Day
of
the
Dead
is
much
more
public
than
any
other
naPons.

4. Origins
I
learned
about
the
brief
origins
of
Dia
de
Muertos.
It
was
first
seen
publicly
more
than
500
years
ago
when
Spanish
Conquistadors
came
to
Mexico
and
saw
naPves
performing
a
ritual
mocking
death.
Since
the
Spanish
conquered
the
Aztecs,
Day
of
the
Dead
has
merged
with
Mexico's
major
religion,
Catholicism,
but
is
based
on,
and
sPll
maintains
the
basic
concepts
of
the
Aztecs.
Day
of
the
Dead
lasts
from
Oct
31-‐
Nov
2nd.
October
31st
is
All
Hallows
Eve,
November
1st
is
‘el
Dia
de
los
innocents
and
All
Saints
Day.
November
2nd
is
all
Souls
Day.
5. Aztec
tradiPons
and
beliefs
are
the
basis
for
Day
of
the
Dead.
This
ancient
Aztec
goddess
was
the
wife
of
the
death
god
Mictlantecuhtli.
Her
name
is
Mictecacihuatl
,
the
Lady
of
the
Dead,
and
the
Aztecs
held
an
annual
celebraPon
of
her.

6. Art
plays
a
very
important
role
in
the
celebraPon
of
Day
of
the
Dead.
Skull
art’s
origin
lies
in
Aztec
culture.
The
most
famous
skull
arPst
of
Mexico
was
engraver
and
printmaker
Jose
Guadalupe.
His
humorous
image
of
skeletons
helped
shaped
Mexican’s
view
of
death.

7. Although
Skull
Art
is
the
most
popular
art
used
during
Day
of
the
Dead
fesPviPes,
there
are
also
temporary
art
pieces,
such
as
custom
altars
families
design
to
welcome
departed
spirits.
The
families
who
create
these
art
pieces
include
certain
tradiPonal
Mexican
altar
items,
such
as
candles
and
incense.
As
the
pictures
show,
altars
usually
contain
candles
and
incense
to
guide
spirits
back
to
their
altars.
Also
marigolds
are
included,
because
those
flowers
symbolize
death.
8. What
Influences
Death
in
Mexican
Art?
While
traveling
I’ve
discovered
how
death
is
not
only
prominent
in
art
because
of
Mexico’s
origin
or
religion,
but
also
because
of
civil
unrest.
The
Mexican
RevoluPon
of
1910,
and
the
civil
unrest
that
followed
created
backdrops
for
many
arPsts.
A
few
of
Mexico's
most
famous
arPsts
incorporated
death
in
their
art
as
a
result
of
civil
unrest.
I
looked
further
into
these
arPsts,
such
as
Diego
Rivera,
Frida
Kahlo,
and
Jose
Gaudalupe
Posada.
9. Diego
Rivera
Diego
Rivera
was
a
famous
muralist
from
Mexico,
who
would
portray
death
in
his
large
painPngs.
He
had
very
powerful
views,
which
were
brought
on
by
the
Mexican
RevoluPon.
Rivera
was
involved
in
a
government
sponsored
mural
program,
but
then
joined
the
Mexican
Communist
Party.
His
mural
The
Arsenal
depicted
his
feelings
towards
the
government.
10. Rivera’s
strong
poliPcal
views
meshed
with
death
in
his
Death
of
the
Capitalist
painPng.
By
painPng
with
the
technique
fresco,
his
images
become
apart
of
a
wall.
This
image
of
the
death
of
his
poliPcal
opponents
is
now
an
integral
part
of
the
wall.
Rivera
paints
large
murals
to
make
a
statement.
11. Frida
Kahlo
“I
never
painted
dreams....
I
painted
my
own
reality.…I
paint
what
ever
passes
through
my
head
without
any
other
consideraDon."
Frida
Kahlo
was
one
of
the
most
influenPal
and
famous
arPsts
of
Mexico.
She
oden
did
self-‐portraits.
Just
as
Diego
Rivera,
her
painPngs
reflected
her
feeling
of
her
environment.
As
she
said
above,
she
only
painted
her
reality,
what
she
was
surrounded
by.
Whether
it
was
civil
unrest,
or
her
failing
health,
Kahlo
did
not
shy
away
from
painPng
about
death.
The
Wounded
Table,
shows
how
open,
or
aware
Kahlo
is
of
death
by
painPng
herself.
12.
In
Thinking
About
Death,
although
the
main
focus
is
Kahlo,
she
excellently
uPlizes
her
background
space.
The
green
leaves
could
almost
certainly
represent
life.
Both
life
and
death
are
represented
in
this
painPng,
implying
that
Kahlo
clearly
isn’t
afraid
to
discuss
or
ponder
about
death.
This
image
portrays
Kahlo’s
understanding
of
life
and
death,
and
in
Mexican
culture,
death
is
associated
with
rebirth.
This
might
be
why
Kahlo
painted
growing
green
leaves
in
the
background;
although
death
occurs,
rebirth
and
new
life
will
follow.
13. Jose
Guadalupe
Posada
Jose
Guadalupe
Posada
was
a
famous
engraver
and
printmaker
in
Mexico
in
the
late
1800’s
through
early
1900’s.
His
artwork
and
use
of
skulls,
played,
and
sPll
is,
a
vital
part
of
the
Day
of
the
Dead
fesPviPes.
His
poliPcal
saPre
radiated
in
his
prints
of
skeletons.
Posada
influenced
how
Mexicans
view
death,
and
his
imagery
of
skeletons
is
sPll
seen
every
year
on
Day
of
the
Dead.
His
environment,
the
civil
unrest
and
disdain
for
government,
influenced
his
art
to
mock
death.
His
poliPcal
saPre
was
something
that
Mexicans
could
relate
to.

Ultratumba

Folk

14. Death
being
prominent
in
Mexican
culture
is
interesPng
because
death
means
rebirth.
Combined
religion
and
tradiPon
of
the
Aztecs
led
to
the
idea
of
rebirth.
Death
isn’t
a
sorrowful
thing
in
Mexican
culture
because
it
leads
to
path
of
a
different
life.
This
is
why
death
is
so
commonly
found
in
Mexican
art.
It
isn’t
something
brings
an
end,
but
brings
a
beginning.
Death
is
not
something
that
is
feared,
but
embraced.
ArPsts
such
as
Frida
Kahlo
and
Joes
Guadalupe
Posada
recognized
that,
and
created
art
about
death
freely.
Mexicans
embrace
death,
and
that’s
why
it
is
so
prominent
in
Mexican
culture,
and
involved
in
art
and
holidays
such
as
Day
of
the
Dead.
