A Note to Remember

 

 The Safe Creative Classroom

A good teacher's duty is to establish an environment that supports creativity and at the same time eliminate suppressors of creativity. A teacher that supports creativity provides plenty of resources, trust and safety, an active environment and opportunities to showcase the students' creative work.

However, she also depicts herself as a bold artist who is proud of her indigenous heritage. I chose two of her self-portraits:  Autoretrato con chango y loro, 1942. and Autoretrato con traje de terciopelo, 1926, (pictured above) to demonstrate the intersections of art and identity.  These portraits greatly contrast with one another to showc...
