About This Lesson
These curriculum materials explore the works of four twentieth-century women artists who represent different aspects of surrealism. The works and artists examined illustrate the ways in which surrealism became a diverse and viable visual vocabulary: Frida Kahlo’s continual reinvention of persona, Helen Lundeberg’s classical representations, Lola Alvarez Bravo’s concern for social justice, and Rosa Rolanda’s lesser-known autobiographical and experimental work. These materials can be easily adapted for students in grades 6-12.
