Chicana art

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it relates to the main contact of this course, which is learning about Chicana art and Chicana/Chicanx artists. Chicana art matters because the social stigmas of machismo are present even in the arts and woman artists have not received the credit they deserve, their work being undermined by that of men. The article was very informative and touched on different types of Chicana art while giving examples. It also made mentioned of specific Chicana artists who are popular in the craft.

The section Los Four was a little distracting based on the fact that a lot of the focus in that section was on the men who originated the group. The fact that the name wasn't updated to also include its fifth member, who was the only woman, seems to steer away from the article's main point on celebrating Chicana art and the artistic contributions of women. Making some mention of the Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation (CARA) exhibit would have been good since it was one of the first times a Chicano exhibit received major attention. The article has a good amount of sources to back the information presented and assessing artistic areas in which Chicana art is prominent. It makes mention of modern Chicana artists, so its information is updated and relevant to Chicana art today. I did notice a spelling error in the Social Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) section. In the sentence, "The Great Wall of Los Angeles was the fist project made by SPARC...," the word first is misspelled.
