Mi Frida

Frida Kahlo was a very famos painter. She was bed bound for nine months and spent a lot of time painting. She married Diego Rivera after she had brought her paintings to him for critique. She died in the 1950s and has been famous ever since.

For my project I chose to use Fatboy SSE as my Frida. We were to write a three hundred word biography about who our Frida was and about them. Then we were to paint or photoshop a Frida-esk picture. I would have spent more time on my project and taken a lot more pride in it because I did it pretty half-heartedlly.

Dia de Los Muertos Calavera
Calaveras are traditional at Dia de Los Muertos because mexicans love to make death into a satire. In America we hate death. Mexico celebrates it. Jose Guadalupe Posada was a famous early 20th century cartoonist. He made many cartoons of workers as skeletons showing that death is no different from life.
My calavera was about how Kanye West dies. He is in debt and gets chased after by the police. Kanye gets caught and goes to jail. He doesn't eat and dies of starvation. I think I could have been more successful. I didn’t put in a lot of effort and didn't think it was a big deal. I am not very proud of my work. It wasn't very organized or neat. My art took me way too short. It definitely wasn't my proud piece.
