AH 350 - Women and Art

3 Credit(s)

This course looks at studies over the past twenty 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 class will focus 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 will be included.
This course fulfills the requirements for the GWS major and minor.
