Before You Begin
Please read the overview about the Feminist Art Movement located at this link:
Feminist Art Movement, Artists and Major Works/The Art Story (Links to an external site.)
Thoroughly read and explore the home page until you are familiar with the Feminist Art Movement. Links to pages about Key Artists in this movement are listed below.
Please note: The internet is filled with information, images, and videos by and about these artists. I encourage you to do additional research about the artist you select. Please cite your sources.
Instructions
Find an image of the work of art that you plan to write about and post it in your discussion. This will give your classmates a better idea of what you are talking about.
In addition, you may also post a link to a video by or about the artist and their work.
High resolution images are preferred.
- Briefly summarize the key ideas in the work of your selected artist. What is she saying through her work?
- How does the artist convey her content through her art? Consider her medium and approach.
- Did this art work make a difference to you, or to your way of thinking about feminist issues, beyond mere amusement or decoration? Why or why not?
Your post must be between 400 and 500 words.
