Women in the Arts, Part I

About this course:

Historically, women haven’t had access to the same training and opportunities as men and have sometimes been overlooked and forgotten. However, the history of western art history includes many women, whose role has been consistent and prevalent throughout the western world. Covering the Middle Ages through Neoclassicism, this course highlights the history of art through the works of some of the most important and influential female artists of Europe and America, including Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Leyster, Elizabeth Vigee-Lebrun, and Angelica Kaufmann. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
