5th Grade Artists are learning about the famous Mexican Artist, Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo is most known for her very personal self-portraits. For this lesson, 5th graders are combining several art skills and techniques. Their first step was to learn how to draw a realistic self-portrait with proper proportions. Then, after learning about mosaics, the fifth graders are creating a paper mosaic over their self-portrait. The final step will be to create a wax resist watercolor frame that will become a 3-dimensional feature of their artwork. It is taking a lot of hard work and persistence, but the 5th graders are really up to the task.
This is a snapshot of 5th graders working carefully on their paper mosaics. Great job, 5th grade artists!
