About this deal

To make the flowers, fold the tissue paper lengthwise to make a long narrow strip, then fold it in half down the middle. Starting at the closed end fold the paper about an inch, then flip the unfolded bit underneath and fold an inch again. Repeat over and over, creating a zigzag out of the paper. When it’s all used up, pinch the bottom closed bit together and use a bit of tape to hold it all together (you could also sew a stitch in it, but we don’t have the patience for that just now!) Starting from the middle top, lay a flower on the headband and wrap tape around to fasten. Do this one flower at a time with the stem of the flower facing down towards the ends of the headband. This Frida Kahlo Artist Fact File contains lots of interesting information and fascinating Frida Kahlo facts about this famous and influential artist. You can use this fact file for a reading activity or a comprehension task for your class. The iconic Mexican artist Frida Kahlo is one of my heroines. A few years ago, I was fortunate to visit the stunning V&A Frida exhibition called “ Making her self up“. The art exhibition had a Day of the Dead theme (Dia de los Muertos), so we fit right into the riot of colour.

Estas diademas de flores de Frida Kahlo son mucho más que accesorios para el cabello. Son una forma de llevar la visión artística de esta influyente artista en tu look diario. Cada diseño se inspira en la obra de Frida, desde su amor por la naturaleza hasta sus coloridas representaciones de la cultura mexicana.Frida Kahlo was a painter who lived from 1907-1954. Born in Mexico, Kahlo's art was inspired by the nature and history of her home country and culture. Her paintings often include bright colours and mix realism with fantasy. Kahlo suffered from polio since childhood and was also involved in a bus accident. During her recovery, she honed her artistic skills with lots of self-portraits. Between the 1970s and the 1990s, Kahlo's work grew in popularity and she is now an internationally celebrated artist. Kahlo was an avowed Communist, and politically engaged all her life, but it is in less well-known works from the final years of her life where you see this most explicitly emerge. At this time, she suffered a great deal of pain, and underwent many operations, eventually including amputation below the knee. But Kahlo continued painting till 1953, with difficulty but also with renewed purpose. Her biographer Raquel Tibol documented her saying: "I am very concerned about my painting.

This resulted in works like 1952's Congress of the Peoples for Peace (which has not been exhibited since 1953), showing a dove in broad fruit tree – and two mushroom clouds, representing Kahlo's nightmares about nuclear warfare. She became an active member of many peace groups – collecting signatures from Mexican artists in support of a World Peace Council, helping form the Mexican Committee of Partisans for Peace, and making this painting for Rivera to take to the Congress of the Peoples for Peace in Vienna in 1952. Glue the rolled part down onto the flower base like shown below, creating a pretty 3D flower for Frida’s headband. Kahlo was a big supporter of the Mexican Revolution, so much so that she attempted to change her birth date to correspond with the beginning of the Revolution in 1910. [2] At the onset of this movement, a so-called “cult of Mexican femininity” gained popularity, which Jolie Olcott describes as “selflessness, martyrdom, self-sacrifice, an erasure of self and the negation of one’s outward existence.” [4] In rejection of this limited conception of femininity, Kahlo fashioned herself as a Mexican counterpart to the flappers of the United States and Europe in the 1920s. Later, inspired by Rivera's concept of Mexicanidad, a passionate identification with Mexican pre-Hispanic indigenous roots, she donned the identity of the Tehuana woman. [2] The Tehuana had a great deal of equality with their male Zapotec counterparts and represented strength, sensuality, and exoticism. [5] Visual analysis [ edit ]Her home is now the most popular museum in Mexico City. She’s an integral part of Mexican cultural heritage; her paintings are now prohibited from being sold outside the country. So, it is rare to see exhibitions of her work outside of Mexico. Making a Frida Kahlo flower crown didn’t take very long, and Emma really enjoyed helping me choose the flower colours and bend the stem wires. Then attach the pieces of her face to the body piece, starting with her hair, and then her facial features. Our costumes were easy to put together with clothing and accessories we already had at home, I only had to make the Frida headbands.
