Artists: Mexican Artists: Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera



1. Print off Double Bubble Map for comparing & contrasting the above two artists. You will need to fill this out while watching the you tube clips or by using other valid resources, such as artencyclopedia.com, etc.


2. Be sure to understand that Diego Rivera painted the lives of the Mexican people typically in the form of a mural; His wife, Frida Kahlo, was more interested in symbolism and self-portraits and expressing her pain. But what do they both have in common? What similarities do you see in their artwork, despite the differences in themes in their work?
