Frida Portrait Showcase

Students present their autobiographical self-portrait inspired by Frida Kahlo to a community audience, sharing how personal experiences, culture, and identity informed their artwork. Each student presents the final portrait along with a concise artist statement (an empathy artifact) that explains who the work is for and why specific elements were chosen. They summarize feedback gathered during the critique sessions and outline concrete revisions they would make, inviting questions from the audience to capture direct user input. The presentation emphasizes empathy, iteration, and clear communication as students connect their creative process to the viewers’ perspectives.
