Modern Language Day 2021

I spent 1 month on my project and I based the dresses off of four of Frida Kahlo's paintings. The dresses are, respectively, inspired from My Dress Hangs There; Memory, the Heart; Self-Portrait Dedicated to Leon Trotsky; and Marxism Will Give Health to the Sick.

This took 2 days to complete. Painted with watercolor, this painting is a view of La Sagrada Familia in Spain. I chose to do this because I enjoy painting architecture and landscapes.

Una Vista de La Sagrada Familia

This took two weeks to complete. It was created with colored pencils, and was inspired by Francisco de Goya and Día de los Muertos. It includes things commonly found during Day of the Dead celebrations, like flowers, butterflies, and decorated skulls.

Día de los Muertos

This artwork took one month to complete. Painted with watercolor, this art exhibits the Catedral de Santiago de Compostela, located in Spain. I chose to do this building because of its interesting and intricate architecture and design. I also created a sky with colors that help give contrast to the uniformed color of the building and make it stand out more.

This quilling of Las Meninas puts the elusive and mysterious painting into yet another art form. The project took about 16 hours to create, including cutting the paper and holding the shapes in place while they dried. La Infanta Margarita has a 3D skirt, further emphasizing her importance in this work of art.

A Quilling of Las Meninas

This quilling was an endeavor sparked by quarantine and a love for brilliant artists. Each slip of paper involved was hand-cut and shaped, requiring around six hours of work each day for an entire week. This work of art depicts Frida Kahlo's Self-Portrait as a Tehuana, one of her most elegant and sophisticated masterpieces.

Quilling as a Tehuana

From things she celebrated to music she listens to this is a scrapbook showing our journey. This project took about 7 hours to put together excluding the time spent learning about the culture.
