The Artist Box: Frida Kahlo
Explore Frida Kahlo’s art, life, and home in this interactive artist box, featuring twenty-four activity cards, a 150-piece jigsaw, a concertina foldout, and an iron-on patch.
You might know that a streetcar crash set Frida Kahlo on the path to becoming an artist, but did you know that she first wanted to study medicine? Did you also know that she had macaws, parakeets, a fawn, and monkeys as pets? Or that she and Diego Rivera had a bridge that linked their two houses? Step into Frida Kahlo’s world and learn about her fascinating work and life through engaging and fun activities. In her words: "Keep on working, continue painting, don’t ever stop singing."
The Artist Box: Frida Kahlo contains twenty-four activity cards with beautiful illustrations by Manjit Thapp and text by Susannah Jowitt. Fashion your own Frida flowerpot; create a family tree inspired by her art; and customize your clothes and accessories in her signature style. The large, fourteen-panel concertina foldout included here features fantastic facts about Frida, a detailed timeline with quotes from her and others, and a trail of important locations in her life.
