Mi Frida es Nicola Tesla
Description:
In this project, we learned about Frida Kahlo and her life as well as a certain person in history we choose that has an interesting life. We had then to research them to find the most interesting and monumental parts of their life. Then we write this in past tense Spanish as well as a Frida Kahlo style painting that presents these challenges in their life. Questions: Why did Frida do autobiographical paintings of herself I think that she did this because it was more relatable to her actual life and experience How do you feel that your image came out? My picture could’ve used a lot of work, for instance, I was going to paint clouds with snow (for the winter of suffering) and lightning (because they are both electricians) Did you end up with the image you thought you were going to? No, as I said earlier I did not have as much as I wanted due to lack of time. This was because I am a really inexperienced painter and it generally took me longer to the same tasks as an experienced painter. Did you end up with the image you thought you were going to? I can certainly respect her a lot more now that I know the context of the painting. It is one of those things that means nothing till you know the story behind it. |
