Mi Frida es Prince
Project Description
For this project, we had to choose a famous person, and create an image of that person in the style of Frida Kahlo and her self-portrait. Then we wrote an artist’s statement that described who our person was and the different aspects of that person’s life. That we also will have featured in our art piece of them. Our art pieces will be somewhat of the same art pieces as an art piece that Frida has made.

Frida Questions
Why do you think Frida Kahlo painted so many autobiographical paintings of herself?
In your Mi Frida Painting, did you feel like you integrated the Frida painting and your own character?
What do you think of Frida and her art now that you know more about her?
- I think Frida painted so many autobiographies because when is was laying in bed that was her only hope and thing to actually do. But I also think it could be an aspect of her telling her story through her paintings.
In your Mi Frida Painting, did you feel like you integrated the Frida painting and your own character?
- I do feel that I integrated Frida a lot in my painting because I feel that she painted herself a lot without any background but just a color. So I did my Frida painting around the same thing. Yes she did probably have a lot of meaning behind her paintings but at the same time she did just paint herself in front of one background color.
What do you think of Frida and her art now that you know more about her?
- I like her art work and I like that the art piece represents her life and story that she has been through.
