KS5: Art – ‘Frida Kahlo Self-Portraits’

Frida Kahlo is regarded as one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. Through the representation of her body she explored aspects of her autobiography, the construction of identity, female experience, gender boundaries and subverted stereotypical representations of women and their bodies in art. This lesson asks the learner to consider her body of work in the context of her disability and bisexuality.
