Throughout the centuries, women have been
involved in making art, whether as creators and innovators of new forms of
artistic expression, patrons, collectors, sources of inspiration, or
significant contributors as art historians and critics.
But despite being engaged with the art world in
every way, many women artists have found opposition in the traditional
narrative of art history. They have faced challenges due to gender biases, from
finding difficulty in training to selling their work and gaining recognition.
Finally this year, Museo
de El Prado is opening a special exhibition about two of the greatest
female painters of the Italian Renaissance (Sofonisba Anguissola and Lavinia
Fontana) who, despite the historical difficulties, managed to be proudly included
into Vasari’s
book about the most prominent artist of his time.
But there were not the only ones. And now it is
your opportunity of learn more about them: prepare a complete presentation
(ppt) about one of the artist
from this list: brief biography and complete/detailed study about her
art works (3 minimum). You can also visit the artcyclopedia.
This work can be done individually or in groups
(maximun 3 people). When finish, as usual, send it as attached file to acarriles@educa.jcyl.es . After
the revision, you will do a public speaking at class. All members of the team
have to talk. Cooperation and the use of appropiate vocabulary would be also
keep in mind.
As usual, this work is mandatory. If you fail
to finish it, send it out of date or just copy&paste from a webpage, your
mark will be a 0.
Ready? Steady?... go!
