Kahlo: The artist who made pain and beauty inseparable.

Posted on December 4, 2024

Have you ever seen a painting that feels like a diary?

Frida Kahlo’s self-portraits are just that – vivid windows into her life. 

Born in Mexico in 1907, Kahlo overcame incredible hardships, including a devastating accident, to become one of the most iconic artists of all time.  Her paintings are vibrant, full of emotion, and bursting with Mexican culture. From flowers to exotic animals, her art reflects her love of life and heritage.

Why is Kahlo one of our 35 masters?

  • She’s a trailblazer in turning personal stories into universal art.
  • Her bold use of color and texture teaches students to be fearless.
  • She inspires creativity by blending life experiences with cultural pride.

When your students learn about Kahlo, they’ll do more than admire her work. They’ll step into her shoes and create art inspired by her vibrant style.

Here’s what students can explore through Kahlo:

  • Learn to craft compositions with balance and texture.
  • Study still-life techniques inspired by Mexican plants, fruit, and birds.
  • Practice layering colors with oil pastels to create depth and emotion.

Your classroom will come alive with bold colors and imaginative creations. Even schools with limited art resources can bring Kahlo’s lessons to life with ease.

Students will emulate Frida Kahlo by creating oil pastel art, featuring colorful parrots and fruit, imitate her national pride and vibrant colors.

Here’s how to integrate Kahlo into your curriculum:

  • Start with her incredible life story and our interactive slides.
  • Guide students through her techniques using step-by-step worksheets.
  • Let them create their own Mexican-inspired, still-life masterpieces with affordable art materials.

It’s not just art – it’s a journey into culture, storytelling, and creativity.

Everyone Loves MTM!

As a volunteer for my son’s school, Peace with Christ Christian School, in Aurora, Colorado, I recommended the Meet the Masters program to the art teacher and to the principal. One track was purchased the next year and another track was purchased the subsequent year. Volunteers moved between classrooms presenting artists to children who were excited and enthusiastic about learning the Masters of art.  The curriculum presented the artist biography, broke down art techniques into manageable pieces, and enhanced the students artistic skills.

Wishing you many years of continued success in bringing art and Meet the Masters to children, of all ages.
