*Ideally, learners will have access to application tools of various sizes so that they can experiment with larger and smaller dots of paint. Q-tips and toothpicks would work well together, for example. 
**For this project, learners will need a picture - printed or cutout from a magazine - of a woman's face and neck. I will post examples on the class page as this lesson approaches.
***Today, students will be sketching and decorating a frame in Frida Kahlo's classic flora-filled style, inside of which they display either a self-portrait done outside of class or a printed photo of themselves. It would be helpful to pre-cut your student's paper into a frame by cutting out center to whatever size suits the portrait or photo he or she will display. 
****Alcohol markers are PERFECT for this project, but regular markers will work just fine, as well!
