Our art show, VIVA!, will showcase many aspects of Mexican culture and art, so of course we could not forget the great Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera! I began this lesson by teaching the students about Frida and Diego, their significant works and their impact on the art world in Mexico. The Detroit Institute of Arts had a special exhibition during March - July of this year on these two artist and their time spent here in Detroit while Diego painted the industry murals at the DIA. I shared my book of the exhibition with the kids as well as a few other books. 3rd grade worked on mini portraits of these famous artists while 5th grade worked in groups to complete extra large portraits.
