Mi Frida es Svetlana Zarkahrova
In Spanish one we had to create a piece of artwork inspired by the famous Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo and write a small paper on them. I choose the famous ballerina Svetlana Zarkahrova, a principle with the famous Marinski Ballet. I first had to find a painting of Frida's that inspired me. I choose a simple painting of a little girl. I then used my Photoshop skills I gained from Digital Arts and pasted the face of Svetlana on a flowery background like that Frida used on her paintings. I am really proud of how my photocame out.
Hay una bailarina. La bailarina se llama Svetlana Zahkarova.
Svetlana es de Rusia. En la pintura Svetlana es una niña. La pequeña Svetlana
está contenta. Svetlana quiere ser una bailarina. Ella es viendo una bailarina.
Svetlana es mucho bonita.
Lleve una leotardo y media. Una levar sweater and zapatos de bailarina. Svetlana no lleve verde.
En la imagen hay un cisne. El cisne es muy bonito. Svetlana es una cisne en la ballet Swan Lake.

- Why do you think Frida Kahlo painted so many auto-biographical paintings of herself?
- How do you feel that your image came out?
- Did you end up with the image you thought you were going to when you made your project outline?
- How would you do this differently if you were to start over again?
Dia De Los Muertos
Our Dia de los Muertos project was about the Mexican culture and ourselves. We were asked to create a skeleton that represented us. We also made a paper in Spanish that talked about ourselves. We had a exhibition on November fourth that showcased our newly gained skills.

Reflection
In the Dia de los Muertos I learned about Mexican history, a little Mexican culture and myself. I also learned about Dia de los Muertos in depth. For the project I created a skeleton that represented me as a skeleton. She is doing a ballet move that I do a lot. She has a lot of sparkles because I think the glitter shows my glamorous side. I'm very proud of my writing. Spanish is very hard for me and I'm very happy I did such a good job. It was difficult for me to get the skeleton done. I had a lot of trouble finding my artistic side because I was so focused on the writing. Next time I would allow myself more time and focus in class. I felt like I was too distracted in class and didn't do the best I could. I would also try to refine my skeleton for more excitement.
