Interesting Blogs - American Women in Art

American Women in the 17th Century

American Women in the 19th Century

These three blogs have some really interesting entries about women artists and images of women in the three centuries.

Assignment for February 1

Dear Class,
Please read Women, Art and Society, pages 17-28 (not 25 as I stated earlier).  I have the pdf ready to send if you'd like a digital copy, or you can use the book in the library.
We'll have a short writing assignment during class.  Get there on time so you have the most time possible.  You'll have from 1:00-1:25, then we'll be going to meet the curator in the galleries.
You are welcome to use your copy of the reading plus any notes you take during the writing.
Email with any questions.
All best,
Jennifer
