Mi Frida es Jim Hanson
In this project, we read a short spanish book about Frida And then picked people that we thought went through similar challenges. We then wrote short artist statements and made art pieces about them that resembled art pieces that Frida made.
Artist Statement
Mi Frida se llama Jim Hanson. Nació en 8/19/1934 en North Dakoda. En mi pintura, Jim está en las montañas de Alaska. Está en las montañas porque le gustaba el aire libre cuando era joven.Hay un avión estrellado detrás de él en la pintura porque sobrevivió a un accidente aéreo. Él está vestido en ropa de juez porque fue juez en Alaska por 42 años. Tiene su perro en su hombro para relacionarlo con una pintura de Frida Kahlo. La pintura de Frida también tiene montañas al fondo. Jim vivió en Alaska la mayor parte de su vida. Murió en 2019.
Reflection
I feel like I did connect my character to the Frida painting my painting was based off because I use all the same elements the only difference is the colors and the organization.
I think Frida really persevered in her life and some of her accomplishments are pretty impressive considering what happened during her life.
