Description

This Art Analysis Lesson encourages students to look closely at ‘Self-Portrait with Thorn Necklace and Hummingbird’ by Frida Kahlo and analyse how the artist has used the Elements of Art and Principles of Design. Students are guided step-by-step to identify the most important elements and principles, then write a short analytical paragraph explaining their choices.

  • A 1-page PDF of the artwork.
  • A 1-slide PowerPoint and Google Slides presentation of the artwork to aid easy viewing and discussion.
  • An Elements and Principles reference sheet that includes definition and sentence starters.

How does this resource support mixed-ability classes?

Perfect for:

  • KS3–KS4 / Grades 6–10

Sarah Crowther – The Arty Teacher

I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.

I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.

I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
