Muñecas de Trapo

Muñecas de Trapo” is one of the most popular toys in Mexico and is made and embroidered by native people of Chiapas, Mexico; the raw material of the doll is blanket and ribbon. For centuries, the artisanal toy occupied a central role among children; over many generations Mexicans we have fun and we have developed skills, abilities, we have challenged the luck and we have created our own worlds through toys. In this edited image we can appreciate the different varieties of color that de dolls have, the texture of the door, and also exists a great movement and rhythm between the dolls. This piece of work has sequence of elements and principles that create something special in Mexican crafts

Teatro Juárez

Teatro Juarez in Guanajuato is a historic theater that dates from the late nineteenth century located in the Mexican city of Guanajuato in the state of the same name in Mexico. The enclosure was built from 1872 to 1903 by the architect José Noriega, the general manager Florencio Antillón subsequently killed by the Mexican architect and engineer Antonio Rivas Alberto Malo. Who made several renovations which have completely changed its original appearance both exterior and interior.

The building is one of the most renowned historic theaters. His period of greatest growth occurred in the late nineteenth century until the outbreak of war in the Mexican Revolution in the early twentieth century, remains an important forum for artistic activity where there were famous exponents of the time. The theater is named in honor of the political and intellectual liberal Benito Juarez.
The Teatro Juárez has hosted the International Cervantes Festival, since 1972.

One of the elements of art that I found in this type of architecture are texture, shape and space and the principals are harmony and gradation.
