Mural Project:

Murals are a way of communicating ideas and working together. In this

project you will be responsible for one idea you contribute to the mural.
This idea can be an imagine of a person, a symbol, an animal, etc
The important thing is you that you can explain your reasoning behind
your idea and relate it back to Mexican-American history. Feel free to
look at different time periods or a modern issue you feel is important.

Some examples:

I chose to have someone playing the guitar because it

symbolizes how music was important in Mexican-American
history and how many artists used music as a way of
communicating with the public.
I choose to have a book as my symbol because it illustrates how
Mexican-Americans were treated unfairly in the school system

Feel free to look at any of the books with Mexican-American art for
inspiration or use the computer to look up ideas.

Format: I choose_________________________because
it_____________________________.

Draw your idea on a separate piece of paper and attach it to this sheet.
