Accent cues, used sparingly: Monumental murals; Crowds of figures; Political narrative; Public space. Composition: The sacred figure at the centre, with people and labour running around it as a band. Type and lettering: Hand drawn brush script or blackletter for headings, English and Spanish at the same size. Let one material quality come from the second style: Fresco on lime plaster with earth pigments, the wall texture left visible.. Mood: Rebellion, Intimacy, Exhilaration, Trust.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Chicano Art: Lifting the lettering and the saints as decoration: the imagery belongs to a specific movement and community, and taken away from that it reads as costume.
# - Mexican Muralism: Borrowing crowds and raised fists without deciding whose history is told and for whom yields a large decorative wall with no argument.
