Frida Kahlo
I decided to write my research paper on the artist Frida Kahlo. I had a hard time coming up with a topic I wanted to write about but I knew I wanted it to involved Spanish culture because it's something I'm very interested in. Ms. Levin suggested Kahlo and I was instantly intrigued. I don't know much about her, having only seen a few of her most famous paintings and hearing stories of her tumultuous relationship with fellow painter Diego Rivera. I'm excited to learn more about her personal life and techniques in her art and how it made an impact on Mexican culture. I cannot draw or paint to save my life, so I have always been extremely impressed by anyone that is able to. I think learning about Kahlo and looking at different styles of art will help me understand an artist's process more and the full affect a piece of art can have.

Emily, I think that exploring Kahlo will be an enriching experience for you as a non-artist. I will, also, be interested to see if, in looking at Hispanic culture through AP Spanish, you can enhance your knowledge of Kahlo. I wonder her relationship to Rivera influenced (or did not influence) her works. Since Kahlo is such a multi-faceted artist, I look forward to seeing more of your research.
