  1. I thought that without hope was really interesting. It really describes what type of pain she is going through.

  2. I thought Evening Twilight at Aculpolco was beautiful. The way Rivera painted the sky green and red was interesting and showed contrast.

  3. My favorite painting was Frida Kahlo's "Just A Few Nips," because it was really bloody and she spread the violence out onto the frame. It was very effective and was kind of surprising, because a frame tends to be a neutral agent to separate the painting from its surroundings, but this frame just goes to emphasize the savageness.

  4. My favorite painting was the Calla Lily Vendor by Diego Rivera, the details in the weaving of the basket the lilys were in, the detail of the girls hair, and the color and beauty of the lilluies looked like you could reach out and touch them with your hand! the use of sand in his painting of the watermelons was also very exciting! new fan of his work!

  7. My favorite was called the flower festival. It was the really big painting with the three little girls on their knees and the flower lillys at the top. I thought the colors were really bright and pretty and it was a happy painting

  23. I looked up art from the High Museum sense i wasn't there and found the "Self-Portrait with Monkey" by Kahlo to be interesting. I wonder if it has deep meaning or if she just liked monkeys.
