ART250

This course will consider the impact of gender on the production, reception, and cultural understanding of art and imagery. We will study artists from the full gender spectrum, who have used art to effect social change. Influenced by intersectional feminist approaches to art historical study, we will explore perceptions of gender through visual culture and personal experience. We will examine the ways that certain ideals of masculinity and femininity are represented in art and its history to gain insight into gender performance and sexual identity both in past periods and in contemporary society. This course counts toward the Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies major/minor. USIDG, Spring semester, offered occasionally.
