We need to keep Spanish heritage alive because they influence so many things in the world. such as art, food, and science. Hispanics have influenced so many things. Even if you don't know it. Hispanics have influenced almost all of our food, art, and science. Without Hispanics we wouldn’t have the world we know today. We wouldn’t have the same medications, machines, art, food, or culture. Some Hispanics have made great advances in medicine, without them some people would have died. Some Hispanics have the same machines that make our lives easy today.

An example of Hispanics in science is Ellen Ochoa. As well as being a mission specialist and a flight engineer for NASA, she is also a classical flutist. In July 1991, Ellen Ochoa became the world’s first Hispanic women in space on the space shuttle Discovery. Since then she has logged more than 900 hours in space on four flights, since 2002. She was an inventor. She invented many things such as an optical system designed to detect imperfections in repeating patterns. It can also be used for quality control in the manufacturing of various intricate parts. This invention was patented in 1987. Ellen Ochoa later patented an optical system which can be used to robotically manufacture goods or in robotic guiding systems. (Ellen Ochoa Wikipedia). Ellen won several NASA awards including the exceptional service medal in 1997, outstanding leadership medal in 1995, space flight medals in 1993 and 1994, and two Space Act Tech brief awards in 1992.

Spanish expatriate Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, as well as the co-creator of Cubism. Picasso was Born Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Crispiniano de la Santísima Trinidad on the 25th October 1881 in Malago, in southern Spain. His father was also a painter who specialized in naturalistic depictions of birds and other game.


 * Blue Period: **At the turn of the 20th century started his blue period. Where the color he painted in was dominantly blue. He started painting in blue because he became very depressed because his friend Carlos Casagemas died. He started painting scenes of poverty, isolation and anguish, almost always in shades of blue and green. Picasso's most famous paintings from the Blue Period include "Blue Nude," "La Vie" and "The Old Guitarist," all three were completed in 1903.
 * Rose Period**: By 1905, Picasso had overcome the depression that had once over taken him. Not only was he madly in love with a beautiful model, Fernande Olivier, he was newly rich thanks to the art dealer Ambroise Vollard. Since Picasso's started to feel better, he introduced warmer colors such as beiges, pinks and reds, in what is known as his "Rose Period" (1904-06).
 * Break into Cubism ** In 1907, Pablo Picasso started into cubist paintings. In Cubist paintings, objects are broken apart and reassembled in an abstracted form, highlighting their composite geometric shapes and depicting them from multiple, simultaneous viewpoints in order to create physics-defying, collage-like effects.
 * Classical Period** The outbreak of World War I started the next great change in Picasso's art. He grew more somber and, once again, became preoccupied with the depiction of reality. His works between 1918 and 1927 are categorized as part of his "Classical Period," a brief return to Realism in a career otherwise dominated by experimentation. His most interesting and important works from this period include "Three Women at the Spring" (1921), "Two Women Running on the Beach/The Race" (1922) and "The Pipes of Pan" (1923).
 * Surrealism** From 1927 onward, Picasso became caught up the artistic manifestation of which was a product of his own Cubism. Picasso's most well-known Surrealist painting, deemed one of the greatest paintings of all time, and was completed in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. After German bombers supporting Francisco Franco's Nationalist forces carried out a devastating aerial attack on the Basque town of Guernica on April 26, 1937, Picasso, outraged by the bombing and the inhumanity of war, painted "Guernica." Painted in black, white and grays, the work is a Surrealist testament to the horrors of war, and features a minotaur and several human-like figures in various states of anguish and terror. "Guernica" remains one of the most moving and powerful anti-war paintings in history.

Without Hispanics we wouldn’t be living in the same world today, some of our friends or family may be gone, or maybe even you. Without Hispanics in the world we wouldn’t have the same people we have today. Like Picasso, who inspired so many people, or Ellen Ochoa, who helped show that women are capable of anything. Pablo Pasco helped many people by making something beautiful, something that they could be happy about. When Ellen Ochoa became the first Hispanic women in space, by doing this she made it easier for women everywhere to become whatever they want to be.
