Introduce students to the colorful world of Frida Kahlo with this engaging mixed media portrait project. Inspired by Frida’s expressive self-portraits, students will decorate a line drawing using flowers, tropical animals, butterflies, leaves, and personal symbols to create a one-of-a-kind artwork that reflects their own imagination and creativity.
This project encourages creative expression while giving students the freedom to build layered compositions using the included printable decorations or their own original drawings. Younger artists can use pre-cut pieces, while older students can add extra details, backgrounds, and meaningful symbols to personalize their portraits, just as Frida Kahlo filled her paintings with imagery that reflected her life and identity.
Complete with printable templates, step-by-step instructions, decorative cutouts, and inspiring student examples, this resource is perfect for art classrooms, enrichment programs, museums, and anyone looking to introduce students to one of the world’s most celebrated artists through a fun, hands-on activity.
