First assignment Frida Kahlo Symbolism/Self Portrait6565 unread replies.8181 replies.1. Frida Kahlo’s Symbolism. (at the bottom left on this link you can click to see her work) http://www.pbs.org/weta/fridakahlo/ (Links to an external site.)Frida Kahlo’s work is infused with symbolism, such as a monkey on her shoulder. In Mexican mythology, a monkey represents the patron of the dance and is a symbol of lust. In this context, however, the monkey is more of a protector and friend and represents her animal alter ego. Locate more examples of Kahlo’s work. Research the symbolism Kahlo used in her works and the context in which these symbols appear together. Discuss your findings with the class. Be concise 150-200 wordsthen2. Self-Portrait. For centuries, artists have drawn, painted, sculpted, and photographed their own likenesses. Create a portrait by drawing, collaging, painting, or photographing your likeness. The self-portraits should express your characteristics and interests. Use symbolism to enhance the meaning of your self portrait. Will your portrait be a flattering portrayal of your physical qualities, or will it be an expressive abstraction of your inner emotion? Will the portrait reveal your current position in society, or will it reveal where you would like to be years from now?Also, decide on a portrait length: should the portraits be bust length, half-length, three-quarters length, or full length?Second assignment How are women depicted in popular culture today?

What is the purpose of the image/ad? How is the woman being depicted? What are the intentions of the figure? And how do you, the viewer, feel towards this woman and/or the intentions of the image/ad? 100-300 wordsThen as an extension of this project, choose one image of particular interest. Copy or scan to create a black and white image. Incorporate a contrasting or provocative statement in red, similar to Barbara Kruger’s work Untitled (Your body is a battleground).
