Title- Adobe of Maria Ygnacia de Carrillo In Santa Rosa California stands the Adobe of Maria Ygnacia de Carrillo, known by many citizens of Sonoma County as the Carrillo Adobe. In the years of 1837-1838 a woman by the name of Maria Ygnacia de Carrillo built her home in what would become Santa Rosa, California. The foundation of her home was laid by Franciscan monks years earlier when they wished to build the 22nd mission in California, however they moved on to other sites in the surrounding area. After Carrillo’s death, the adobe became the first post office of Santa Rosa, California, a trading post, and a drying shed for a prune farmer named Hahman who would later purchase the property. In the 1930s a WPA survey was performed on the property, …show more content…
He starts the article by stating that while individuals may come to Santa Rosa and wish to do some sight seeing of the buildings and locations in the town, that the Carrillo Adobe is usually not on any ones list of sights to visit in the area. This may be because it not is close to ruin, or they simply do not know the history of the building itself. Smith informs the reader when saying “If true, this would mean the place where Santa Rosa was born is the exact spot at which the colonial quest to hold and tame California through a string of missions died. “We have some riddles here,” Larry Carrillo said. He holds that the discovery of the footings and the prospect they were intended to support a mission increase the urgency for Santa Rosa to preserve and highlight at least part of the adobe as a historical treasure.”” He tells this in the article because he sees the urgency in ensuring that the Carrillo Adobe is saved for future generations. Not only does it have the past of almost becoming one of the missions in California, but that it has strong connections to the town of Santa Rosa itself. He ends the article talking about the future construction of condominiums that will be placed on the property by stating “We’re not talking about whether to develop or not. The question is, what happened

Genaro Padilla, author of the article Yo Sola Aprendi: Mexican Women’s Personal Narratives from Nineteenth-Century California, expands upon a discussion first chronicled by the historian, H. H. Bancroft and his assistants, who collected oral histories from Spanish Mexican women in the 1870’s American West. Bancroft’s collection, however, did not come from this time period, but closer to the 1840s, a time where Mexican heritage still played a strong presence throughout most of California. These accounts, collected from many different women, in many various positions and lifestyles, shows just how muted the Mexican female voice could be during this era.

One of the first comparisons that can be made is how the living space of the Spanish was drastically different from that of the Americans. The Spanish lived in Plazas that were made from sandstone, while the Americans made there houses out of trees. The way the Plazas where built was also a unique part of the Spanish culture. Clark states: “At La Placita, five of the seven structures have doorways facing out to the central site area”1. This leads to the conclusion that the Spanish where very community oriented with their living spaces. Even the land that the Plazas sat on where communally held, no one person could c...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. However, what words are being told in the Codex Mensoza 1964, Lám (Brumfiel 1991: 224) and more importantly what influential role did the Spanish heritage have in the artifacts? These credentials were offered as form of resolute of Aztec women’s productive activities in Mexico. Nevertheless, Bromfiel paint a different picture of the Aztec women. In these sketches, Brumfiel draws our attention to the background in which the women are performing their “productive activities.” (Brumfiel 1991: 224) At first glance, these images are portraying Aztec women. However, after careful scrutiny of the photos, I noticed several an uncanny discoveries. In the first two portraits, both of the weaving instruments appear to be bound to Roman and/or Spanish columns (to my untrained eye). In the last two illustrations, I observed “productive activities” (Brumfiel 1991: 224) of cooking being performed, in what appears to be in a non-traditional work environment that does not correspond with the “productive activities” (Brumfiel 1991: 224) of the women in that era. One appears to be working in luxury room while the other seems to be overlooking the mountains from a balcony. Although these duties were performed in a residential setting, the pictures fail to emphasi...

...le of Spanish Colonial architecture built in Santa Fe around 1610 is the historical Palace of the Governors which too has the authentic Spanish adobe style and is the nation’s oldest continuously occupied public building. It has housed 60 governors of New Mexico and became a place of refuge for Spanish colonialist during the Pablo Indian revolt of 1680. The long covered side walk serves as a market place which faces the plaza. There are several rooms re-created with furniture and artifacts from its original time period. Robert Hughes uses clear yet detailed information when describing Santa Fe’s troublesome history. His descriptions are expressive and confessing. Robert Hughes views the history of American Art as only an outsider would. He defies our biased notions of America’s past while challenging use to see historical art and architecture in a renewed approach.
Chicano Park, is an area seventeen miles north of the United States-Mexico border in San Diego County. It was established in 1905 as Logan Heights and became known as Barrio Logan by the large Mexican population that exists in it. This population has a distinguished history that is told in the web site. One may think that this is the history of all Mexican-Americans, but it is not. The effect of certain events that occurred in Mexican-American history on this community and California, such as the Chicano Civil Rights Movement and the Chicano Moratorium march against the Vietnam war, is addressed. The major outcome of these events emphasized by the web site is the influence it had on art in the Mexican-American culture. However, the history and other effects on al...

Art movement’s characteristics vary from nation to nation, but painting can be used as a critique of the socio-political reality in a given nation. It is a creative way to communicate with a population about economic, education and social issues. Therefore, The History of Cuernavaca and Morelos: Crossing the Barranca (ravine) Detail (1929-30) Fresco by Diego Rivera is a good example of how an artist uses his creativity to connect with people in relation to Mexican history. Art is an inspired way to share the complexity and challenge of a community. It can be used a way to respond to them likewise. Therefore, the concept of accessibility takes ingenuity. With his deepen knowledge of European and ancient Mexican art, it was not a documentation

The Spanish decided to build a settlement between New Spain and East Texas. It would be a midway stop. They decided it would be located on the San Antonio River. San Jose was one of these settlements. It was made of limestone and was built in 1720. A nickname it had was "The Queen of Missions". Close by was San Antonio de Valero, or also known as the Alamo. It had carvings in the windows and the doorways that were complicated and beautiful. The carvings were made when the limestone was just unearthed. When limestone is just quarried it's relatively soft.
