Surrealism is a form of art that began around the early 1920s in
and negative spaces in the image. Later, the stencil was spray-painted
onto a piece of linoleum, which was glued onto our wood blocks.
Finally, we had to cut out all the white spaces that were on our
an arrow, and a cross. The tree trunk replaced my neck and what it
meant is that I am still growing and I will get stronger and wiser in the
have been shot or hurt, I will continue being strong and fighting
because I am not a quitter. The last symbol I used was a cross, which
matter how many times I get hurt; referring to the arrow. I searched for
artists and paintings and found some really interesting paintings from
these symbols because I felt like they were the symbols which best
would best be seen in street art because that way people on the
streets than in a museum because that way everyone can see it. What
the 1920s.
Kahlo, because I used the same technique as she did and I was
message for the viewer, as did I. Frida influenced me to use the arrow
as a symbol that you had been hurt, but then the facial expression
indicated that she wouldnt give up, and I was also influenced by her
cross.
