Hey guys! The purpose of this portfolio is to bring together all of my work that I have been working on so far in Art and Gender 250. I also created this portfolio to complete a requirement for this class. I also hope by creating this portfolio, other students can get another outlook and perspectives on the content that is given in this class. This class has offered many great readings that make you really think about our values and where they stem from as well as offer you different perspectives regarding art and gender.
For the course Art and Gender 250 there are 4 main objectives that we hope to achieve:
- Consider culturally based versus universal based theories of art.
- Examine the political, regional, economic, technological, religious, ethnic, gender and generation influences that shape conceptions of art
- Consider gender, race and ethnicity in relation to representation in art
- Examine contemporary and historical cross-cultural example of art
I have listed the Table of Contents below. If you click on each unit content you will be taken to a subpage of this portfolio. For each unit subpage I go over the overall object of the unit, an artifact that shows I have met the objective, and a reflection on that given artifact. Also in the Table of Contents I have listed a Bibliography page so you can view all the resources that I have used so far in this blog.
