This week in 4EB @RF, we have been exploring the incredible work of Frida Kahlo

We looked closely at her unique style, discussing how she used bold colours, symbolism, and careful shading to express her identity and emotions. The class shared thoughtful observations about what makes her artwork so distinctive and powerful.

Building on this, we practised key artistic skills such as shading techniques and understanding facial proportions. The children then applied these skills to create their own self-portraits, taking great care to position features accurately and add depth through shading.

We are now looking forward to developing our portraits further by adding vibrant florals, inspired by Frida Kahlo’s iconic style 

We were so impressed with the focus, creativity, and resilience shown by everyone. The final portraits are going to be a fantastic reflection of both skill development and personal expression—just like Frida Kahlo herself!

Well done, 4EB
