ART 235 - Women And Art

Institution:

Assumption University

Subject:

Description:

Women and Art provides an introduction to the multiple, diverse relationships of women and western and non-western art and architecture spanning the periods from prehistory through our own time. Women and Art will focus on women as the subject of art, the creator, the patron, collector and the receiver of art and architecture as a gift or in memoriam as well as more contemporary roles such as art critic, dealer and teacher. Concurrently, this course will also examine the ways in which the art historical canon previously excluded and marginalized women and their roles in art and architecture and investigate the more recent, dramatic shifts in scholarship that have resulted in a more inclusive stance.
