Examining Gender Dynamics in Art Historical Narratives

This exam focuses on the critical analysis of gender dynamics within art historical narratives. Emphasis will be placed on the roles of women as both subjects and creators within various artistic movements.

Understanding these dynamics is essential for appreciating how they have shaped the representation of women in the larger context of art history. This knowledge provides vital insights into the feminist critique of traditional art historical perspectives.

The exam will evaluate the student’s ability to articulate key theoretical concepts and analyze specific artworks and movements through a feminist lens. A strong emphasis will be placed on verbal articulation and critical thinking.

Students are encouraged to engage with both historical and contemporary examples in preparation, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the lineage of feminist art history.
