Despite innumerable roadblocks, powerful women persevered in expressing themselves artistically. This course explores key works by six women artists in a succession of historical eras. Period-specific themes serve as catalysts for self-reflection and individual expression. Creative exercises examining changing values in art history engage participants’ emotions and identities in unexpected ways.
