WS 350: Women And Art
3.00 Credits
Widener University-Delaware Campus
This course looks at studies over the past 20 years that have resituated the significant contributions of women in making, commissioning, and inspiring artistic images. These re-evaluations have led to a richer, more nuanced history-one that posits gender as an integral factor and that reveals the key role women have played in the world of art. The course will focus on how artists have portrayed women and the ways representations of women function as a manifestation of culture. The work of women artists and feminist critical disclosure will be included.
