On the afternoon of September 17, 1925, Frida and her friend Alex was involved in a severe Bus vs. Streetcar crash, and Frida was damaged very severely.
In September of 1925, Kahlo was riding in a bus when the vehicle collided with a trolley car.
Frida was a close friend of Tina Modotti, who modelled for Diego Rivera, and through her Frida and Diego met again, and fell in love. They married August 21st, 1929.

Frida Kahlo

In year one I knew her because we saw her story about her life. I really like her work. She wasnt the most well known in our school. I would like to tell people more about her.

My Project so far...

I went round to other classrooms and I asked the teachers if they had heard of these artists; Monet, Rembrabt, Pollock, Warhol,Degas, Manet, Gauguin, Goya, Picasso, Palmer and John.
Most people thought that Monet and Van Gogh even Picasso that they had heard of. Gwen John and Samuel Palmer were less known.
Here are the scores:
Gwen John 1, Frida Kahlo 4, Palmer 1, Edward Manet 4, Paul Gaugiun 3, Goya 2, Rembrabt 8, William Blake 7, Picasso 10, Degas 5, Warhol 6, Pollock 7, Dahli 6, Vangogh 10.
