Art in the World Language Classroom! Frida Freebies!

Published by:

One of the first things I do when I start a unit, is a search of what is already available on the internet.  I especially like to find authentic resources to use as a hook or as part of an Integrated Performance Assessment.  One of my favorite finds is a good children’s book.  I like Frida by Jonah Winter and illustraded by Ana Juan.  Leave a comment at the end of this post to win a Free Frida Book on Friday!Frida book

 

On one of the last pages in the book it explains that Frida painted little magic scenes with a written explanation called Extovas.   Have students write extovas in the target language and share.

Check out this awesome talking infographic I found free on Pinterest.frida inforgraphic

I also found this article free on Pinterest.  Check out my Frida Pinterest page.

I found this awesome powerpoint free on Teacherspayteachers.com.

This is in English but could be useful for building background knowledge and it’s free on Youtube.  Maybe use with a sub or for a movie talk with the English turned off.

But this one is in Spanish and it’s also free on Youtube along with one on Diego Rivera!

 

There is a cute little printable book for $2 on Teacherspayteachers.com that could be used for a directed coloring, adding details activity.  There is also a free reading with comprehension questions on Teacherspayteachers.com.

Students make thumb puppets and have conversations between famous people.  Check out this website.  I have these Frida and Diego Finger puppets.  I’m thinking about having them star in a Youtube video.
