ART 220 - Women Artists

Institution:

Cedar Crest College

Subject:

Description:

The focus of this course is a redefinition of well-established assumptions about the history of art and heightened awareness of the work of the many women artists who have participated in the history but whose work has been overlooked or undervalued. Students look closely at the historical circumstances that resulted in some women artists’ reputations, influence and work being virtually lost to subsequent generations. Questions are raised that challenge and explore the criteria used to determine what constitutes "great" art, including the varied points of view raised within feminist art criticism itself.
