ART 624 - Women and Art

Institution:

Tiffin University

Subject:

Art

Description:

Art history as a discipline has expanded over the last thirty years to move beyond formalism and connoisseurship to include divergent perspectives in theory and visual culture. Feminism provides a framework to examine the intersections of race, gender, and sexuality to challenge the idea of art history as a unified discourse. This course will examine the impact of women on the arts in three ways. It will examine the theories of feminism, race, gender, and sexuality and explore how these theories are expressed in the visual arts. The course will survey the lives and contributions of women artists from the Renaissance to the present, the shifts in the portrayals of women, and criticism of female artists over that time period.
