ARHS 03340 - Survey of Women Artists

Institution:

Rowan University

Subject:

Description:

An introduction to the work of many female artists who form an important part of the history of art. In order to break down stereotypes, each artist is discussed within the context of her society and with respect to her role in the art world. Rather than canonizing a group of "great women artists," the course is intended to return female artists to their rightful place in history through the study of individuals whose accomplishments demonstrate the tremendous effect women have had on the visual arts. Since a single semester is too brief for an exhaustive study of women's contributions, this course focuses on a selection of European and American artists from the sixteenth through twenty-first centuries.
