3 Absolutely Engaging Works Of Art By Frida Kahlo

While studying in college, each course always allows us to discover something or someone that we never knew about. Frida Kahlo is just one of those people. Favorite artist from modern time who wowed her audience with her very vivid self-portraits that all seem to tell a story, her story.

The Two Fridas

Los Dos Fridas

Created in 1939, Kahlo's self- portrait titled The Two Fridas is a very interesting work of art. The painting depicts Kahlo herself as a woman dressed nicely cutting out her heart and giving it back to herself a woman dressed in regular clothing basically giving life to herself. It depicts Kahlo going back to her roots from a divorce from her husband Diego Rivera. Kahlo is basically giving life love to herself is very inspirational.

Thorn Necklace and Humming Bird

Kahlo's Thorn Necklace and Humming Bird is a very colorful and vivid work of art. Created in 1938, Frida depicts herself in a thorn necklace with a bird seeming to be hanging or hovering over her chest with a monkey on one shoulder and a cat on the other. Kahlo's hair is also done with butterfly pieces and it looks as if there are dragon flies flying above. Not only are the green leaves a nice colorful backdrop with the animals painted black, Kahlo's vivid imagery of her face is very beautiful as she reveals her true self. This is a very inspirational piece as it encourages women to be themselves.

Self-portrait in velvet dress

The Self-portrait in velvet dress is a very captivating piece by Kahlo created in 1926.In this portrait Kahlo depicts herself as very feminine. I feel that she is expressing her feminine side as she seems very delicate letting the dark background bring out her skin tone with her dark red blouse or top. Very vivid feature of herself again from her neckline to her tiny thin fingers. Kahlo's self-portrait in a velvet dress is a great way that the artist highlighted herself along with her other amazing works of art.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing.

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
