Essential Questions and key concepts

I have chosen a different artist to discuss essential questions and key concepts. Frida Kahlo is a well known Mexican Artist as well. Her work deals with her own identity, blended heritage, personal tragedies and physical/emotional suffering.

"Two Fridas"

"The Broken Column"

"The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth, Myself, Diego and Senor Xolotl"

"My Grandparents, My Parents, and I (Family Tree)"

 5 Essential Questions:

1) How does personal experience shape our identity? (ex: tragedy)
2)Where do our relationships with others factor into how we see ourselves? how we are seen?
3) Do our emotions affect how we perceive experiences?memory?
4)What about our bodies do we use to identify ourselves?
5) How much of a role does our cultural and/or family background play into our identity?

5 Key Concepts

1) Many different things factor into our identity: experiences, relationships, cultural background, etc.
2)Our identity can shift depending on where we are in life, or who we are with (situational).
3)How we feel (our own perceptions) creates the identity for ourselves.
4)Identity is made up of both physical and emotional elements of the self.
5)We can often feel like many people at once.
