ART 241 - Women in Art

Credits: 3

This course will explore the contributions of women artists to the western art tradition from prehistory to present day, with special emphasis on those from 20th and 21st Century. It begins with the examination of the socio-cultural condition in which women artists have often been excluded or marginalized in art history and later emphasizes how issues of gender have been encoded in art practices, exhibition and collection. Students will read across various fields to interpret and critique images in art and media to explore women’s role and perception, women as audience and the importance of women as art makers.
