Symbolic Self-Portraits
Our middle school students have been learning about the life and art of beloved Mexican artist Frida Kahlo. They have analyzed symbolism in her self-portraits, practiced portrait techniques and facial proportions, and have created some interesting self-portraits. They were asked to study faces in magazines to find the common facial proportions that can be used in drawing realistic faces. They used these proportions to draw a self-portrait that incorporates autobiographical information like Frida Kahlo did in her work. They have taught me a lot about the students I am excited to teach here at Prescott. Hopefully, they learned something new about themselves as they created these unique compositions!
