Frida Kahlo was a Mexican artist known for her self-portraits that often depicted her physical and emotional pain. Born in 1907, she was mostly self-taught and began painting after a bus accident left her with multiple injuries. Her work was heavily influenced by Mexican culture and tradition, and often included symbolism and surreal elements.
Despite her relatively short career, Kahlo's work has had a significant impact on contemporary art and feminist movements. She has become a feminist icon and her work continues to be celebrated and recognized around the world.
The children will emulate Frida Kahlo by creating oil pastel art, featuring colorful parrots and fruit, imitate her national pride and vibrant colors. Be sure to click through the student masterpieces at the top of this page.
We have been enjoying Meet the Masters at Friends Christian School for about 7 years. I am so impressed with the program. It has taught the children not only facts about a particular artist but also a love of art. Many of the students who are not excelling academically find a talent or expression in art that they may not find anywhere else. This builds their self-confidence. I have seen this time and time again. Our MTM teacher has been such an inspiration to our students with her passion and enthusiasm. The way she leads the assembly with slides, hands-on objects, facts, and background of the artist has the kids so intently listening it is amazing. The children are able to recall facts about the artist long after the project, because it is taught in such an interesting and exciting way. Being someone who loves art and creativity I wanted to thank you for this program for our school and thank you for sending a teacher who loves what she does.
We are truly blessed.
