Overview - this lesson explores the use and purpose of symbols in art works particularly self portraits to convey emotions or the artist's situation at the time. Initially, students are asked to look at the works of Frida Kahlo, a Mexican artist who is renowned for her self portraits and are full of symbolism.

Frida Kahlo


Students, after looking and analysing some of the works of Kahlo, are to create their own self portrait displaying a symbol of the emotion they are experiencing at the time.
