    Can someone tell me:
    1) Who are the 3 main artists in the video
    2) Describe the style of art they create
    3) Choose one of the artists and explain in your own words how they use their own identity in their work

    Great tool to explain students and introduce to self-portraits, also to apply the narrative and the life of famous people.
    At the end of many ways to see the life of Frida Kahlo, they applied the technique of self- portrait, like Frida just said in the video " I paint my own reality" students drew their own self- portrait.

    Frida Kahlo is great. I love his creation.Modern Art lovers are all over the world. They want painting like Natural Art, Sketch etc with reasonable price. Ryan Van Wagenen is a one of the Top Modern Art seller who create revaluation to Art selling business with competitive price .Though Ryan Van Wagenen sincere effort, he and his company make regularities to Art auction and sell 850 pieces of Art in 2011 that is really remarkable.

    This work is a treasure; much like a book that is treasured for its similar wisdom. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

    I left my job in management to pursue my art career. People called me crazy. Hope am not. Hoping I have a bit of talent, and started my youtube channel. Hoping I have support from all of you. Thank you 😊

    Great video, but why would Ligon ask how one would describe him on a missing persons poster and then associate it with slavery. how else would they find him if he was missing? Not his personality...

  • @sketchbook1
    @sketchbook1 8 років тому +84

    Let me get this straight:
    Mr. Ligon asks his friends to describe him. They do so in good faith, honestly describing his characteristics as they see him, just as he requested.
    Then, he CHANGES the context and meaning of all of their descriptions, and claims that due to these (altered) descriptions, somehow we've not gotten over the "language of slavery." It's like putting words into their mouths. Or like a translator mistranslating a phrase and then complaining about what the person said.
    I would wager that NOBODY whom he asked to describe him in this project described him in any derogatory way.
    I'm sure that none of his friends thought of him or described him in any overtly racist or even racial way.
    HE LED THEM into an unavoidable description of him which of course described his color, or his race, or at least his physical characteristics.
    He was the one who forced slavery or race onto the context of the happening. He created the racial situation and then he cried "Foul!"

      He's not saying "the language of slavery" like they were insulting him or anything, he only says that the way they were describing him is very similar to how they would describe runaway slaves. And the context isn't what matters here, it's simply the words being used. He didn't put words in their mouth or anything like that, simply compared how they described him to how slaves were described.

    Great video! However I do think you can read more into Frida´s painting besides her relationship with Diego. You could talk about the fact that she used to dress up in male clothing and go to cantinas, where women where not allowed. On top of that, she placed the scissors very close to her genitals, maybe referencing her infertility. The writing is of a cancionero popular, maybe referencing her mexican roots, the tradition...

    • @nai.commmm
      @nai.commmm 6 місяців тому

      Frida´s work is so much more than her relationship with Diego. She´s a very complex artist

  • @karagrudek2114

    its interesting but Monroe had a very intimate looking photoshoot with Frida's best friend and a lover, Nick Murray. 2 years later, Frida dies. Some of her drugs were reported missing. I am scared to think that these two women, as unlikely as it sounds, were connected given Monroes reputation. Maybe Monroe wanted to be an artist a bit too much if you understand what I mean. I will always wonder if they didn't cause Frida more suffering by the end of her tragic life.
