Can You Name An Aztec Artist?

There are a lot of famous artists in the world which belong to the  Aztec region.The most famous ones are  Netzahualcoyotl, Cuacuatzin and Miguel Leon Portilla.

At the beginning of this course, you learned about two criteria used to judge the quality of a work: Craft (how well an artwork was made) and communication (the uniqueness of the artist's vision and its message or meaning). Michelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo da Vinci were considered masters of these two qualities. Compare a work of art from each artist, citing SPECIFIC techniques that each artist used to convey meaning. For example: Composition, color, perspective, chiaroscuro, idealism, sfumato, gesture, size, symbolism, allegory. You may use the Internet to find the artwork. Be sure to cite your sources.
