This document discusses the definition of "women's art" and questions whether art depicting traditional female roles was necessarily made by women. It notes that there is no clear distinction between art by men and women, as male artists frequently used women as subjects and some female artists did not identify as "women artists." It provides examples of Filipina artist and film director Marilou Diaz-Abaya, who directed films about Jose Rizal and Muro Ami.

Posada Ruiz
Jose Guadeloupe Posada was a Mexican cartoonist and printmaker born in 1852 who was known for his caricatures of people and skeletons. As a teenager, Posada worked for a newspaper company in Aguascalientes, Mexico where he began his career as a cartoonist. His cartoonist style utilized vigorous lines, contrasts, and imagery of violence. Later in life, Posada was banned from his hometown for offending a local leader and moved to Mexico City where he created his most famous work, Calavera de las Muertas in 1910.
Feminism and Art
The feminist art movement began in the 1960s as women artists sought to define and express their experiences, which had long been ignored or trivialized in the male-dominated art world. Key events and groups in the 1970s helped promote feminist art and address the lack of opportunities for women artists. While feminist art brought greater recognition to women's experiences and perspectives, it also faced criticism for issues like an essentialist view of women's experiences. The movement significantly influenced later generations by questioning artistic norms and canonical views of art history.
Mad Men Research Presentation
The document analyzes how Mad Men portrays female characters within the social norms of 1960s America. It discusses three main female character archetypes: the housewife (Betty Draper), the sexual object (Joan Holloway), and the career woman (Peggy Olson).

Class in Bollywood
This document discusses the representation of lower classes in Bollywood films over time. It notes that early films from the pre-Independence and post-Independence eras featured themes of class struggle and the lives of the poor, but that more recent films from the 1990s onward have focused on depicting elite, urban lifestyles. It analyzes the shifting portrayals of occupations associated with lower classes like rickshaw drivers, laborers, vendors, and domestic help. While some films provided social commentary through these characters, their roles have generally become more subsidiary over time or depicted in a skewed manner. Representations of class and lower classes in Bollywood both reflect and shape societal perceptions.
WAYS OF SEEING
During my years as a teacher and tutor, lecturer and adult educator, 1967 to 2005, I used various television documentaries. The doco I used more than any other was Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark, a documentary series outlining the history of Western art, architecture and philosophy since the Dark Ages. The series was produced by the BBC and aired in 1969 on BBC2.2
Photography self portraits PPT
The document discusses the personal and cultural value of self-portraits created by artists. It notes that since the 15th century, nearly every artist across different mediums has explored self-portraits as a way to examine their own psyche or simply because they are the most available model. By viewing these self-portraits, viewers can gain insight into how artists see themselves and their different "selves", and better understand their personalities and what they wish to show or hide. The self has long been an important subject in art as it expresses how individuals view themselves while also providing wider cultural insights. Contemporary self-portraits encourage debates around issues like identity and individuality.

Song Byeok: North Korea's Warhol
Song Byeok was born in North Korea and chosen to be a propaganda artist, but suffered during the famine of the 1990s when his father drowned crossing into China for food. He was imprisoned in a labor camp, but escaped to South Korea in 2001. As an artist in South Korea, he uses techniques from his propaganda training to satirize and expose life in North Korea, including paintings depicting Kim Jong-Il in drag. His work aims to give hope to those still suffering in North Korea and show the importance of human dignity and freedom.
Presentation- "A Topsy Turvy Mikado"
The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Houston is presenting "A Topsy Turvy Mikado", a new take on the classic operetta "The Mikado". The play takes place in 1885 during one of the final rehearsals before opening night. It is directed by Alistair Donkin and features the songs and characters from the original production. The performance puts a new spin on the story by portraying the rehearsal process and including humor about preparing the actors for their roles.
Representation in Social Realism
Social realist films aimed to extend representation to include more groups and individuals from working class backgrounds that were seldom seen in mainstream cinema. Lindsay Anderson felt that cinema had severely underrepresented the working class, and through his films he sought to improve upon previous conceptions of realism. While early social realist films often portrayed women as targets of attacks, later representations showed women taking on more important roles in the workforce and society as a whole. In general, social realist texts focused on representing working class characters in British films.
1970s Feminist Art
The document discusses several key concerns of feminist art in the 1970s including gaining social and economic equality, questioning societal definitions of women's roles, examining the cultural construction and natural processes of the female body. It mentions several feminist artists from that time period like Sylvia Sleigh, Marina Abramovic, Judy Chicago, and Ana Mendieta and discusses some of their provocative works that addressed feminist themes and explored women's experiences.
Art & gender
This document discusses gender roles in art throughout history. It notes that males have traditionally been portrayed in strong, dominant roles, while females have been narrowly depicted as mothers, religious figures, or objects of temptation. However, as cultures changed, female representations gradually expanded. Modern artworks like Self-Portrait Sideways No. 3 and Untitled Film Still #35 challenge traditional gender norms. The document also discusses the feminist critique of exclusion of women in art institutions and Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party, which honors notable women. It explores how more recent art has begun to blur gender lines, depicting figures with ambiguous or mixed characteristics.
Feminist Art Powerpoint
This document provides an overview of women artists throughout history and how their roles influenced their art.

It then highlights works from several female artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, and Judy Chicago. The document poses essay questions about how women's roles shaped the significance of their art and how social ideals become art movements. It aims to have students consider how perceptions of women artists have changed over the past three centuries.

This document provides an abstract and background on V.S. Naipaul's book "India: A Wounded Civilization". It discusses Naipaul's upbringing across multiple cultures and his identity as a rootless exile. Though born in Trinidad, Naipaul felt culturally disconnected there and in London. He saw India as a place that could provide spiritual fulfillment and a connection to his cultural roots. The document analyzes Naipaul's exploration of India in his writings as an inward journey of self-discovery, seeking to understand India and himself.

Kaya Dalton enjoyed exploring and photographing London but was not enticed by the photography of Alec Soth and Julia Margaret Cameron in their exhibition. Alec Soth's work displayed included photographs from series along the Mississippi River capturing loneliness, as well as photographs from Niagara Falls depicting newlyweds and passion.

Indian tomb
This document discusses how the 1959 film "The Indian Tomb" depicts Orientalism and stereotypes of Eastern cultures. It focuses on Debra Paget's snake dance performance in the film. The film portrays inaccurate cultural and religious aspects of India, such as having Paget perform a sexually provocative dance in a Hindu temple while barely dressed. It also analyzes how Orientalist films more broadly reinforce stereotypes of the East as exotic, tyrannical, and sexually accessible to Western men. The document argues these films promote misconceptions of Eastern cultures among Western audiences.
V.s naipaul as a Travelogue writer
V.S. Naipaul was a prolific travel writer from Trinidad known for his insightful travelogues about post-colonial societies. Some of his most notable works include a trilogy of books about India published over several decades where he revisited the country and chronicled its social, political, and economic changes. His first book "An Area of Darkness" portrayed a fearful perspective of India but later works showed a more positive view as he recognized signs of national development and emancipation. Naipaul also wrote travelogues about his native Trinidad and the Caribbean, offering deft portraits of regions still haunted by their colonial pasts. As a writer, Naipaul remained an insatiable traveler both

Queer Art
- Queer art emerged in the late 1960s and 1970s as LGBTQ artists came out of the closet following the Stonewall riots, with concepts of censorship, visibility, and identity central themes
- In the 1980s-1990s, the AIDS crisis politicized queer identity further and the term "queer" was reclaimed from a pejorative to celebrate non-normative identities

Trevor Steele Taylor, who curates controversial films, was chosen to be the lead essayist due to his knowledge of Zylla's work and influences like Pasolini. The book examines how Zylla used Pasolini's film to critique modern issues like consumerism, the environment,
History
The document discusses various ways that people expressed themselves through art and creative works during different periods of US history. It provides pictures and brief descriptions of writers, musicians, and cultural figures from the early 20th century through the 1950s who used their talents and artforms such as literature, music, acting, and poetry to express views on social and political issues of their time or share their experiences with others.
Justin Murray Freelance Example
The document discusses urban art and artists in Charlotte, North Carolina. It describes how urban artists use music, poetry, painting and other art forms to express themselves and their experiences living in the "concrete jungle" of the city. It profiles two local artists, Antonio Smith and Randy Johnson, who find release and meaning through music and painting. It also highlights the perspectives of Professor Janaka Lewis and student Remy Simpson who appreciate urban art and feel it is underrecognized in Charlotte. In conclusion, it states that a renaissance of urban art in Charlotte is emerging, and its impact will be seen.
Portraiture
This document discusses the history and concepts of portraiture photography. It explains that portraiture aims to both describe an individual and represent their social identity. Early portraits followed conventions from painting to show wealth and status. Advances like the daguerreotype made portraits more affordable and accessible. Some photographers began using the medium to capture different personality types in social contexts, moving towards environmental portraiture and documentary. Later photographers experimented with questioning conventions and exploring identity, self, and norms in new ways. The central dilemma of portraiture is accurately representing a subject while relating them to social codes and narratives.
Gotham
Gotham is a crime drama television show set in a dark and corrupt version of Gotham City. The main characters include Detective James Gordon, who is heroic and brave; Detective Harvey Bullock, who is rugged and corrupt; and Oswald Cobblepot, who is weak but calculating. The show focuses on Gordon solving a different murder case each episode while also following the broader story of the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne. It uses film noir lighting and costumes like suits and leather jackets to represent the characters. Themes include revenge, murder, and some references to sex. Camerawork includes establishing shots of the city and close-ups to show character emotions.
Decomposition Poem
The poem is about a photographer who takes a picture of a beggar asleep on the pavement in Bombay. He originally thought it was a good composition and called it "The Man in the Street," but now realizes his presumption in attempting to portray the man's suffering as art. The beggar's head, appearing as if weeping into a pillow, chides the photographer for his insensitive treatment of the man's plight of hunger and solitude as a subject for art composition. The poem highlights the irony of attempting to capture poverty and suffering in art, and suggests multiple meanings of the word "decomposition" in reference to the composition, the beggar's condition, and the poem itself.
Decomposition by Zulfikar Ghose
The poem describes the speaker taking a photograph of an elderly beggar sleeping on the street in Mumbai and initially viewing it as just a composition, but later realizing his presumption in reducing the man to a subject of his art rather than seeing his humanity. Through imagery depicting the man blending into the pavement and being worn down by the sun, the poem conveys the hardship of the beggar's life and the indifference of passersby, culminating in the man seeming to chide the speaker for failing to see him as a fellow human beyond the photograph.

The Male Gaze vs. The Female View
The document discusses how male artists have historically depicted women in painting through the male gaze. It presents examples of paintings that objectify or stereotype women in various ways. It then discusses works by female artists that provide alternative perspectives, such as Frida Kahlo's self-portrait expressing her frustration after a failed medical procedure or Judy Baca's mural depicting the strength of migrant mothers. In the end, the document questions how the subject would be depicted if painted and cites Alice Neel's painting of a pregnant woman as a positive example of female representation.

Wilfredo Lam was an artist of mixed Cuban and Chinese heritage who was influenced by Western artists like Picasso as well as artists from the Negritude movement. However, art critic William Rubin overlooked Lam's hybrid background and tried to define his work only in relation to Western art traditions. This failed to recognize Lam's unique fusion of cultural influences. Lam sought to infiltrate mainstream art as a "Trojan horse" to introduce his blended perspective. However, assimilation into the dominant aesthetic standards meant suppressing his cultural differences.

This document provides an overview of Victorian drama, including key dramatists, plays, and themes. It discusses George Bernard Shaw as an influential Victorian dramatist and analyzes his play Pygmalion in depth. Pygmalion tells the story of a poor flower girl who receives language lessons to improve her social status and is transformed. The play examines themes of social class, gender roles, and the power of language and education. It also draws from the Greek myth of Pygmalion, in which a sculptor falls in love with his own creation.
Portraiture - photographer examples
This document provides brief summaries of the works and styles of various portrait photographers. It discusses Diane Arbus' controversial portraits that looked beyond surfaces, Margaret Bourke-White as a pioneer in photojournalism and women's work, and Richard Avedon's up close portraits that captured both his and his subjects' personalities. It also mentions Brassai, Sally Mann, Edward Curtis, Fazal Sheikh, Elliott Erwitt, Steve McCurry, Dorothea Lange, Lewis Hine, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Imogen Cunningham, George Hurrell, Andre Kertesz, William Klein, Peter Dench, Hazel Thompson, Alexander Rodchenko, Annie Leibovitz
Chapter 13 Race and Gender in Art
For centuries women and artists of color have had little voice in history and the art world. Today the art world is slowly accepting these artists and they are getting to tell their part of history.
Features ofModern drama
Modern drama features themes of realism, absurdism, and naturalism rather than supernatural elements and fate. Some key characteristics include: naturalism as shown through Ibsen's A Doll's House depicting the domination of women; absurdism through Synge's Playboy of the Western World where people accept absurd things; and realism in Albee's The Zoo Story about how civilization makes people introverted. Modern playwrights like Ibsen, Shaw, Albee, and Miller incorporated these themes and styles.
Presentation6
Louise Bourgeois was a renowned French-American artist born in 1911 who lived until 2010. She was inspired by surrealist artists and is best known for her emotionally evocative sculptures which often explored feminist themes of gender roles, domesticity, and power dynamics between men and women. Bourgeois helped pioneer the feminist art movement beginning in the 1960s through works that reflected women's experiences and lives to bring more visibility to women in art. Her sculptures dealt with personal and psychological themes from her own life and addressed issues like abandonment, dependence, and entrapment. Bourgeois had a significant influence on generations of artists and helped advance women's roles in the art world.
Body, Gender and Identity
This document provides an overview of how artists have depicted and explored concepts of the body, gender, and identity. It discusses how notions of beauty have varied across cultures and eras. Artists like Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol, and Richard Prince examined how gender and male identities are socially constructed. The document also explores how some artists have challenged assumptions through techniques like cross-dressing and assuming different personae. Overall, the document examines the complex relationships between biology, gender, and constructed identities as portrayed in art over time.
A study of parallel indian cinema in coherence
Parallel Indian Cinema refers to an alternative genre of Indian cinema that emerged in the 1990s as a response to commercial films. This genre focuses on serious socio-political themes and realistic portrayals of modern issues and dilemmas through naturalistic characters. Some key aspects covered include adaptations of literary works into films, themes around modern man's alienation and social/political issues, and independently produced English-language films. The document provides many examples of films that exemplify these characteristics of Parallel Indian Cinema and its exploration of contemporary Indian society.
