Diego Rivera was one of three Mexican artists asked to begin an era of teaching Mexican history through art.

He continued to tell stories of Mexico and explored the complexity of Capitalism as it influences American society. This video talks about Rivera’s history and works through the window of his exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Pacing (Writing)

This article helps writers use the AutoCrit online programmatic editor, so refers to its behavior. However, the advice on pacing holds true whether you have an algorithm highlighting paragraphs for you or not. I don’t necessarily agree with the first chapter suggestions as that depends on genre. For example, one where the setting or milieu is an important character might begin with description. Still, pacing is something writers should be aware of regardless of what decisions they make for their works.
