Research/Writing Assignment:

[Frida Kahlo and Cindy Sherman] Due March 4, Week 7
Using the resources below as a beginning, research the works of Cindy Sherman and Frida Khalo and submit (electronically through SOCS virtual dropbox on your course SOCS site) a approximately 500 word summary comparison of these two artists' work as "self-portrait". This is not to be a retelling of their biographical information; this is to be a creative and critical look at their bodies of work which you will develop into a thoughtful comparison of their uses of portrait/self-portrait--contextual, conceptual, and aesthetic. I am looking for IDEA not REGURGITATION.
