Description
-
This resource is an interactive map to Chicano art throughout different eras of art. It starts on a page with an enter button like a videogame and moves to a page that has 5 categories. They are "From Olmec to Mexica" "Frida, Diego, and the Mexican muralists" "Chicana/o Art" "The road to Mictlan" and "Nepantla Aesthetics". From each of those is a collection of topics relating to their category. They all feature a photo, date, time, artist when applicable, and a description.

Requirements
-
Stable internet and a computer. This site is relatively difficult to follow, so a good amount of focus is also required.
-
Alternatives
-
The same goal could be achieved with a Google Doc or a Microsoft word as there is a lot of text with small images. For the most part, these images and information are available somewhere else on the internet.

Get Started
-
Some knowledge of a brief history of Mexico and it's revolution as well as a few of the artists mentioned would help to make this information useful.
