Week 10: Reflection

I have had a great time taking this class. I came into the class because I wanted to learn more about Chicana/o artist in the movement. I thought a lot of the artist and the topics that we discussed were very interesting and new to what I knew about the movement. I really enjoyed the speakers we were able to have in the classroom. I think having the speakers in the classroom really gave us the opportunity to engage with people who had a significant role in the Chicana/o artist movement. I also like the different techniques and forms we were able to work on our art. I noticed my art changing a lot as we progressed in the class. One of the memorable moments in the class for me was when Ofelia Esparza had came into class. Her work and her history in the movement was admiring to hear about in first hand. The great thing about the class is the opportunity there is to learn more about the influence that Chicana/o had in the movement. When we got to our class presentations I really enjoyed learning about the artist that my classmates presented on because it allowed me to not only learn of new artist but how others creativity works. It was a really amazing opportunity because a lot of the artist that they mentioned I ended looking up after. I think the class was a great opportunity to grow in our art and also become more aware of the history and legacy that people left for us in the past and how it can influence us now a days.
