It is Hispanic Heritage Month, and I'm trying to feature a different artist each week. For week one, we learned about the life and work of Frida Kahlo. We looked at the still life paintings of Frida, and noticed watermelon in most of them. I had students each make a slice of watermelon with a "bite" out of it. They also added flowers around the watermelon as a nod to Frida's iconic look. We used construction paper, construction paper crayons, and liquid glue(trying to give them more experiences with it to master how much & where to put it).
I really like this video for my young artists.
It is honest without oversharing details of her suffering & related work.
