This is the blog for the UCLA Chicanx Latinx Art and Artists course offered by the Cesar E. Chavez Department of Chicanx Central American Studies (CCAS M175, also Art M184 and World Arts and Cultures M128). This course provides a historical and contemporary overview of Chicanx Latinx art production with an emphasis on painting, photography, prints, murals and activist art.

The Final Post
This class turned out to be challenging but enjoyable, I loved the different components of the class. The art sketchbook turned out to be harder than I had planned, I found it challenging to draw people rather than objects. I definitely have realized that I'm a much better artist than I thought, all the different assignments seemed to strike some sort of connection to my identity as well as my memory and life. Some things that were challenging for me was remembering about the blog post, as you can see I remembered about it a little too late. All in all I really enjoyed the overall class; all the beautiful artwork, all the different artist and all the history behind Chicana art. I would most definitely recommend this class to any of my colleagues because it's very beneficial. I enjoyed all three texts, I've never read a book from cover to cover and found them so interesting until I took this class, so I thank you. I wish the art supplies weren't so expensive but other than that I not only enjoyed the class but I feel like I have expanded my horizons and my knowledge.
