This website is dedicated to my work in Spanish 7: Mural Art in Mexico and the United States. In this class, we are focusing on Los Tres Grandes--Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros.

For my research project, I will be focusing on the work of Jose Clemente Orozco and the work of Walter Beach Humphrey--specifically The Epic of American Civilization and The Hovey Murals. They are both controversial for different reasons, and I am interested in diving deeper into the controversies of both. Specifically, I want to argue that The Hovey Murals should be out in the open (with the proper education available) so that everyone can see them.

I have the unique opportunity to be able to see both of these murals in person, and I am very excited to be able to do more research on each of them. It is exciting to be a part of this campus and to be able to interact with a big part of our history.
