Pictures From Diego Rivera

For my art choice I did a picture of a Mexican boy in a field standing on a box he created. His name is Diego Rivera and he is on his way to a wonderful journey to the jungle. He has Blue Overalls, a white shirt and no shoes. He has no shoes because his grandmother always told him a jaguar could run faster barefoot. He went on his journey and now he is in the middle of Mexican Plain which is a Field with crops and grass.

Cherokee’s picture

For my piece of art I choose to name it Panchito. The reason I named it Panchito was because Panchito is a Mexican name and my drawing I drew was a lil Mexican boy working early in the morning. For my art drawing the supplies I used was a small white thick piece of paper, oil pastels, pencils and black piece of paper for the outside frame. The artist that inspired to do my art was Diego Rivera. He had alot of wonderful drawings but I choose to draw the lil Mexican boy because it was simple and easy.
