In Art, the children in Year 5 have been learning about the artist Frida Kahlo.
At the beginning of the unit of work, the children learned about Frida’s life and analysed some of her paintings.
The children then focused on the self-portraits of Frida Kahlo and the impact culture and heritage has on her work.
In order to create their own self-portraits using Frida’s work as inspiration, the children developed their skills in sketching parts of their faces and using proportion when drawing faces.
For their final piece, the children applied all of the taught skills to create their own self-portraits, producing spectacular work.
