Diego Rivera Study

4th grade students looked at artwork by Diego Rivera and discussed themes in his artwork. They learned that artists often create art as a way to show connections between people. They concluded that Diego Rivera showed these connections through the themes in his artwork (love, family, oppression, working people and traditions). Students focused on the artwork "Mother's Helper" by Diego Rivera. They discussed that Rivera was showing love between the girl and the mother, without drawing hearts on his artwork. They discussed ways they help someone they love and used the way his composition was set up in "Mother's Helper" in their own artwork.

 


Los estudiantes de cuarto grado miraron obras de arte por Diego Rivera y discutieron los temas en sus obras. Ellos aprendieron que los artistas muchas veces crean arte como una manera de demostrar conexiones entre personas. Ellos concluyeron que Diego Rivera demostraba estas conexiones por medio de temas en sus obras de arte (amor, familia, opresión, trabajadores, y tradiciones). Los estudiantes se enfocaron en la obra de arte “Ayudando a mamá” por Diego Rivera. Ellos comentaron que Rivera estaba demostrando el amor entre la niña y su madre sin dibujar corazones en su pintura. Ellos hablaron sobre las maneras en que ayudan a sus seres queridos y usaron la composición de “Ayudando a mamá” en sus propias obras de arte.
