Separate is NEVER Equal!

My art teacher asked the class to pick someone who has changed the world! I decided to pick Sylvia Mendez.

She is a American civil rights activist of Mexican-Puerto Rican heritage. She was also the lead plaintiff in the case Mendez v. Westminster. In 1947, the case ended school segregation in California! I believe she has really impacted the world and my heritage. I decided to make a collage to show her era and what she had to go through. Made this collage by hand and scanned the final product. I drew her by hand and scanned the drawing once i was done. I brought the drawing into Adobe Illustrator and turned it into an Illustration. I brought the final product together in Adobe Photoshop.
I believe Separate is NEVER Equal and Sylvia Mendez made sure of it!

Selena Book

I choose to make a mini book about Selena Quintanilla. She has been a huge inspiration to me for as long as I can remember. I think this is a important story to tell because not a lot of people know her story. She affects so many people in he Latino Community. Selena is one out of few Latina role models. Fans adored Selena for being talented but humble. Her story is something people can relate to. It gives people hope and motivation. Her story continues to live on. I used Illustrator for the drawings.
