The year began with a lot of energy in the art classroom. We only had two sessions today. The older group worked with Still Life (the pears on the easel is mine) in pastels and charcoal. We swatched color wheels and color combinations with the little ones. It was a great start.

The Rio Grande Valley is becoming the biggest exporter of Art & Entertainment. Our unique blend of Culture & Art can only be defined by us - together our songs, our stories are being written on the pages that define America's beauty - a beauty that celebrates our diversity and its healing power that it brings to the human spirit. #artist #TavoRayo #CineElRey #mcallentx #riograndevalley

Amazing Spider-Man #1, Fan Expo exclusive! Virgin cover with a beautiful splatter painted signature by cover artist, Clayton Crain! Such a nice and clean copy. Limited to only 555 copies! Includes a COA!

Two Mexican Masks - The Tigre (jaguar) and the Dance of the Moors and the Christians (Moros y Cristianos) are storied symbols in popular festival dances and each have a long history. This rare tigre mask was made by Filiberto Lopez Ortiz, a mask maker of great skill who gained recognition for his talent from his native Oaxaca all the way to Mexico City, and this mask is one of the few that bears his signature. Definitely rare and collectible. Regarding the prevalence of the jaguar image in Mexican culture, Donald Cordry, in his book Mexican Masks, states, the jaguar was and is the single most important animal to the Indians of Central and Southern Mexico. A symbol of war, these were not wars just of conquest, but "flower wars", that were waged to obtain captives to be sacrificed to the gods. He further states that the symbol of the jaguar was more than a representation of the courage and violence implicit in the animal itself, the jaguar was a god in its own right and a model for the Indian way of life. The second mask would be used in the Dance of the Moors and Christians. Likely the first Christian dance introduced to Mexico which was recorded as far back as 1524 when it was presented to Cortes in Coatzacoalcos. It has remained one of the most popular festival dances since then, due to it's representation of good vs evil. Created as part of the Holy Crusade to convert the Mexican Indigenous groups to Christianity, it now comprises an entire group of dances with many variations that over the years have given mask makers and Santeros the ability to show off their unique artistry and talent. Both of these masks are on display and available for purchase. Take home a rare and collectible piece of art today! We are open Monday thru Friday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday by appointment. #nuevosantandergallery #texasartgallery #mexicanfolkart #mexicanmask #mexicandancemasks #tigremask #tigré #morosycristianos
