Diego Rivera

Aside from being the husband of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera was also one of the most influential and important Mexican Muralists in history.

In the 1920's, Mexico started a mural movement. They offered jobs for artists to paint murals of national, social, and political scenes around the country. Rivera was one of the most well-known and respected muralists of the time.

One of the main purposes of these murals was to give the common Mexican people (who didn't have the ability to read or write) a sense of history and knowledge about their roots. Many of his murals depict famous scenes in Mexico's history. What are some famous scenes in history that you would choose to show??
