The Mi Frida project was a month-long project where we chose a famous person to write a biography about and create an art piece inspired by a Frida Kahlo self-portrait.
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter who created over 200 paintings. Many were self-portraits depicting her pain and suffering of her intense back problems caused by a trolley accident in her youth. She had an unforgettable look with a dark unibrow and colorful clothing. For my "Frida" I decided to write my biography on Kim Kardashian and create an art piece of her. I decided to do my project on Kim Kardashian because she is such a large pop culture figure. I felt that her life is so public that I would be able to write a fairly detailed biography with the extent of my Spanish skills. I wrote about her marriages and social presence. For my art piece I decided to create a new version of the Frida Kahlo "VOUGE" cover. I replaced Frida's face with Kim Kardashians. I kept Frida's red lips and iconic unibrow. We had to include elements that represented our "Frida" so I put her husband Kanye West in her necklace, her children North and Saint into her flower crown, and her diamond ring that was stolen in the Paris robbery. I felt that my piece turned out great. I felt proud of my work. I printed out my art piece and pasted it onto a real VOUGE magazine. My writing was as detailed as I could make it. Both the writing and art were well refined and presented nicely. |
Calaveras Literarias
My calavera was about the celebrity Kim Kardashian. In this poem Kim tries on her jewlery and clothing but it is all too big. She tries to walk but she trips and falls. Her head falls off and she realizes that she is a skeleton!
My Poem:
Un día kim Kardashian va a su armario.
Ella mira toda su bonita ropa.
Ella también tiene demasiada joya.
Ella prueba uno de sus vestidos.
Ella está triste porque el vestido es grande para ella.
La pone en uno de sus grandes anillos y brazaletes.
Kim también lleva zapatos bonito.
Ella camina a Kanye, para Kanye ver su ropa.
Cuando camina ella caída en el suelo.
Ella quiere levantarse pero no puede.
Kim mira sus pies pero no están allí. Ella tiene miedo, pero luego se da cuenta de que es un esqueleto.
Kim le dice “Yo comprende ahora.. Es por eso que mi ropa es demasiado grande!”
