Centro Cultural De La Raza
I think the paintings were very inspiring. This field trip was very fun because i was able to see different all kinds of paintings.
I learned that everything on the mural we saw represented something. The drawings outside the buildings were real cool, especially the painting of the pegasus. I really like learning things outside of class. This was a very interesting field trip.
The mural took about 15 years to be finished. The painting is divided in two parts, the dark side and light side. This mural was called Duality. The mural was practiced somewhere else before the final mural was painted. The Centro Cultural De La Raza used to be a storage tank before it was a cultural center. It happened 40 years ago when they decided to make it into a cultural center.

Chicano Park
Chicano park was very fun as well. Over there i felt that people there were expressing their self on walls. During that field trip i could smell the all the contamination; It smelled horrible. I disagree with factories trying to destroy that park to try to make it into a parking lot. I think it is better as a park because families can go and see those beautiful paintings. I really like this park to because it kind of represents my culture.
This park was going to be turned into a parking lot. The neighborhood was starting to get kicked out of their houses until a group of people came together and stand up to them. It took a while, but they managed to convince them to not turn it into a parking lot. By there, there is companies that pollute the air. When we went i could smell all the pollution. Also something that I learned that in one of the paintings people tried to ruin one of the paintings. they threw paint all over it. The artist of the mural turned something negative into something possitive.
