                                                     The division line

Art history focuses on the many movements and artist that have left their mark on the world and push the profession forward, but I noticed that after years of studying art history from beginning to end I was unable to identify more than five women artists that I had learned about. Most women were the wives of professional artist or females that stood out for some particular reason. My main focus for this class was to become more knowledgeable about art and the way women created art through the various movements and time periods, I then learned about the judgment and abuse they had to endure to be validated and taken into consideration as suppose to their male counterparts.

My semester project aims to shine a light on the issues, experiences, and concerns of women artist through the various time periods, and to educate the population on these struggles with a presentation that will establish a visual language speaking about issues. This will be done using a series of posters. Staying true to graphic design I will also provide a pamphlet and online information for the reader to seek as supporting elements of my project. The posters, pamphlet and web info will be available on , Instagram, behance [link], Tumblr, and in various bulletin boards and info centers around campus to reach and inform the public in the hopes of sparking curiosity.


There is a great in balance in the arts for women, and a great in balance in the real world, the best way to start correcting these in balances is to begin the conversation. People often hold their tongue because of fears of judgment or repercussions, but as advanced as we’ve become as a society we should be able to discuss this issue and begin planning for future solutions.
