September 15-October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. In honor of that, I wanted to take a look at the Chicano Art Movement. Chicano (or Chicanx, or Xicanx) art refers to work made by people who identify as Mexican-American, or who are of Mexican descent, especially as associated with the Chicano Art Movement. The Chicano Art Movement came about in the 1960s-1970s https://artincontext.org/chicano-art/ and is the visual expression of the the Chicano Civil Rights movement  

The movement celebrates and asserts Mexican American culture, identity and rights. Much of the work touches on Mexican Muralism of the 1920s through 1940s and precolombian art, along with many diverse influences and topics, including family ties, popular culture, Mexican history, propaganda, and everyday life in the barrio.  Art/Music    Pre K - 2    3 - 5    6 - 8    9 - 12    13+    Bilingual Education/ESL    English/Language Arts    Social Studies/History    UArts
