"Semeadores" by Diego Rivera

S- Two men working in the field
O- This was painted during the Mexican Revolution by a Hispanic artist.
A- Working class
P- To try to create emotions in the audience and give a new perspective in the history that was being made
S- Diego Rivera, a communist who was working to persuade during this time period
Tone- I think that Rivera was trying to express a different approach and different thoughts to what was going on by showing these workers and I think that he's trying to show how tough their lives are

 I think that the artist's obvious theme is about the Mexican Revolution and working during that time period. He used colors that all blended together and weren't very distinct. You can't see the faces of the workers in the field and that's supposed to resemble that they're just a portion of these many workers. The lines drawn of the workers and of the field all blend together, which can attribute to maybe them being just part of the field and not being treated like actual people, which was what Rivera was trying to express.
