Lessons exploring the Art of Diego Rivera
Untitled Page
Diego Rivera was born to be a famous artist. He began drawing at an early age, painting murals on the walls in his house before he even attended school. As he grew older, he attended art classes after school. Before long, his dream of becoming a successful artist was within his reach. Rivera attended art school in Mexico and Europe. He became famous for his murals in cities throughout Mexico. These murals told stories about the everyday life of Mexican people. He also painted murals in the United States, some of which told stories of the Mexican people, too. Today Rivera’s murals can still be seen in Mexico and the United States. They help tell the story of Mexican history and add to the beauty of the art world. Many artists and viewers continue to be inspired by Diego Rivera. Diego Rivera as a famous artist
