Tres Leche con Coco
Project Description: For this project we were given the task of making a cooking video about a Spanish dish using commands that we learned. My group decided to make Tres leche con coco. This is a cake that is soaked in heavy whipping cream, condensed milk, and cream of coconut. Once it had been soaked in the sauce we put different fruits on the top and a little bit of whipping cream. While making it we filmed each step of ourselves doing it. Once we were done filming it we went back and edited it, adding music and text.

Mi Frida
Frida Kahlo was a famous painter. She was most famous for her self portraits. Her paintings symbolized Mexican culture, gender, class, identity, and explore events in her life. When Frida was little she was very mischievous and suffered a disability from polio. Then later in her life she was in a bus accident and a pole went through her pelvis causing many injuries. For her whole life she had medical issues. She fell in love with Diego Rivera, divorced him, and then remarried.
For this project we first started out by reading a book about Frida and her life. We learned about her family and major events that had happened in her life. Once we finished reading the book we watched the film called, "Frida". It allowed us to see what her life truly was like and what other events occured during her life. Once we were done reading the book and watching the movie on Frida we made our own Frida. We got to choose a person we knew or a famous person and write a biography on them. I decided to write about my oldest brother Dylan. Along with the biography we had to re-create one of Fridas paintings with our Frida. For my painting I decided to keep the Frida that was already in the original and then change characteristics around her. I changed the leafs into river waves and mountains, her ear ring into a kayak, her brown eyes into blue eyes, and instead of flowers in her hair I put leaves. I picked Dylan because he has done so many interesting things in his life and I look up to him. Overall, I am proud of my final product. If I were to change anything from my painting I would have added more shading to the river and face. Besides that I felt the painting showed who I am as an artist. For my biography if I had more time I would probably add more events from when Dylan was younger.

Calavera
Calaveras are a traditional literary piece used during Dia De Los Muertos. They celebrate and give remembrance to the dead. They were meant to be humorous and be about what that person did during their lifetime. Another reason calaveras are a traditional piece at Dia De Los Muertos is because of Jose Guadalupe Posada. He was a famous political cartoonist who made cartoons about the Mexican people and their society. One of his most famous pieces is La Calavera Catrina.
My calavera is about a girl in my Spanish class named Sadie. In my calavera she is a skeleton that has a lot of cats and her job is to brush them. One day Sadie is brushing one of her cats and a cat runs out the door. On her way to get the cat she chokes on a fur ball and dies. I think overall my calavera was good. I loved the story I created and thought it was creative. I think I could have added more detail and I wish I added more vocabulary. |
