FRIDA KAHLO ART PROJECT FOR KIDS
FRIDA KAHLO
Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter known best for her self portraits. She loved to include elements from her Mexican culture, so she used lots of bright colors and images from nature.
Frida was disabled by polio as a child, but was still planning to go to school to become a doctor. However, at the age of 18, she was hit by a bus, which caused her lifelong pain and medical problems. While she was recovering, she returned to her childhood interest in art.
In the hospital, her mother provided her with a specially-made easel, which allowed her to paint in bed, and her father let her borrow some of his oil paints. She had a mirror placed above the easel, so that she could see herself.
Also have fun with our Frida Kahlo coloring and our Frida Kahlo leaf art!
