AH 350 - Women and Art

3 Credit(s)

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 reevaluations 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 class focuses on how artists portrayed women and the ways representations of women function as a manifestation of culture. The work of women artists and feminist critical discourse are included.
This course fulfills the requirements for the GWS major and minor.
