1. Conquest of Latin America
3. I came across this piece of artwork while researching for project 4a. This relates to our studies because it gives us a visual of what was happening during the era we ace currently studying.
Observation: The subject of the artwork in the Spanish Conquistadors and the Native Peoples of Latin America. The painting depicts a battle between the two groups over colonization. It looks like the artwork is made of paint.
Interpretation: I noticed that the Spaniards are very colorful and the natives are very plain. Perhaps this is a way of showing that the the Spaniards were bringing truth, and the natives were heathens.
Judgement: I chose this piece of artwork because it jumped out at me while I was researching. I feel that this painting is saying many things in a simple way. It shows the clash of culture, greed of land, and the difference of religious beliefs.
Questions: I know that this piece of artwork is done by a Spaniard (you can tell because you are on the same side of the painting as the Spaniards), but I would love to know where he stands on the event taking place.
