21st Century Skill: Global Awareness
The Assignment and Why I Chose It:
Students in Mrs. Getzen were told to research and choose a self portrait that Frida Kahlo painted. Student chose a self portrait and then had to explain Frida's thought while painting the work and meaning behind the painting. I chose this assignment because I learned more about Frida Kahlo, her Hispanic heritage. We also learned more about her time in Mexico and her life in general. Frida Kahlo is one of my favorite artists so learning more about her and her artwork was enjoyable for me. How I used Global Awareness:
Doing this assignment helped me to understand and learn about how different cultures and heritage can affect one's art style and meaning behind their art. For example, one of Frida's large motivations in a lot of her art was to showcase her love for Mexico. I definitely learned the impact of how one's heritage and culture can play huge part in someones life. Beyond that I also now understand that incorporating different aspects in art can show and explain one's motives and cultural significance in every aspect of their life. |

Weak Points and Future Growth:
While this assignment has introduced me to the Global Awareness skill there is still a lot to learn with this skill in the future. This assignment was enjoyable, but it also wasn't the best representative for the Global Awareness Skill. A weak point of this assignment was I didn't get an extensive representation of Mexican culture, but this assignment displayed Frida's life and experiences well.
