8th grade students were interpreting the painting "Self portrait with Dr. Juan Farill", by Frida Kahlo, and exploring how she expressed her identity in her art.
Our inquiry questions into identity were;
1) What is identity?
2) How do artists capture a person’s identity in portraits or self-portraits?
Students were to use line and color expressively in their self-portraits
