Sept 15-Oct 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. We started this project with a book. Friday Kahlo by Isabel Sanchez Vegara and Gee Fan Eng. The book spoke about her life and the struggles that she endured. Through the book we learn that Art is what helped Frida through these struggles. We also learned that she loved to do Self-portraits but also that she loved to paint still lives. Students then started with watercolor paints and covered the paper with blended colors in cool colors (Blue, Violet, and Green). They then switched to Tempera Paint where we worked on lines and blending using warm colors (Red, Orange and Yellow). They then repeated this process leaving them with three different painted papers. We also did a larger paper 12x18 as our backdrop. They were to create an outdoor landscape or an interior room. We then took oil pastels and added our details to the background creating our spaces. Next we flipped over all of the papers and drew our bowls and a variety of fruits and veggies that were then cut out and pasted onto our backdrop. This project worked on the history of the artist Frida Kahlo, as well as cutting skills, lines, color blending, composition and placement of their objects.
