Week 9 Artist Presentations

Another artist that caught my attention during these presentations was Judy Baca, Baca is a painter, muralist, monument builder, and former UCLA professor. The artwork that Baca creates is very intriguing and inspiring. Her work reflects the lives and concerns of populations that have been historically disenfranchised, including women, the working poor, youth, and immigrant communities. Her public works projects are often created in impoverished neighborhoods as a way to help revitalize these areas. She is well known for her mural The Great Wall of Los Angeles this mural has great history not only of Los Angeles but of past moments that have been famous landmarks to people.
