Mi Frida Thane
In the Frida Project we had to first do some research on Frida Kahlo. When we had a better understanding of who she was and what type of paintings she created, we could finally create a Frida picture of our own. Her style of painting or drawing was filling in every piece of background with some kind of color. She also always included some kind of animas symbolizing the person in her picture. My Frida was Thane in this Project. The animal that symbolizes Thane in this project is a sloth. I picked a sloth because Thane has the face of a sloth, and Thane likes free running and reminds me of the athleticism of a sloth.

Thane lleva la camisa y los pantalones cortos. Thane lleva los pantalones cortos porque no le gustan los pantalones. Thane lleva los shorts atleticos. Ellos son su tipo favorito de pantalones cortos. Thane tambien lleva la gorra. La gorra tiene “Free Running” escribido sobre el frente.
El animal en mi foto es un perezoso. El perezoso se llama Sid. El perezoso representa Thane porque Thane parece como el. La cara parece mucho como Sid. El perezoso tambien es atletico como Thane.

Reflection
Why do you think Frida Kahlo painted so many auto-biographical paintings of herself?
Because she was often very lonely, and had nothing but a mirror when she couldn't walk so she started painting many self-portraits.
How do you feel that your image came out?
I don't think it came out my best work because I rushed a lot of the work and could've refined a lot of it.
Did you end up with the image you thought you were going to when you made your project outline?
Yes, my idea was to have Thane in a free running gym in California with a broken leg.
How would you do this differently if you were to start over again?
I would probably redo the whole thing in photoshop because I am not much of an artist.

Dia De Los Muertos
This project was mostly about our profile. We had to write a short 3 paragraph writing piece. The first paragraph was about our family, the second was about what activities and sports we like to do, and the third was what we would do if we were a skeleton. The other component of this project was a poster of each individual as a skeleton doing what they love to do outside of school.

Reflection
In this project, I learned that Dia de los Muertos is a holiday in which people celebrate the death of their loved ones. The way they see it, death as a happy thing rather than a sad thing. The part I am most proud of in this project is my Day of the Dead poster (above). It is a picture of me climbing because it is my favorite sport. The most difficult part of this project was the writing piece. It was very hard for me and I think everyone else in this class to write 3 short paragraphs about us in spanish. The thing I would do differently next time would be to refine my spanish writing piece over and over. I feel that I rushed this part of the project.
