Description
This inquiry will address some of the inequities that exist regarding women in the
visual arts and art history, and how that impacts art education practice. The influence of
popular visual culture on the construction of gender identity, and differences between the
sexes in areas of learning and creativity, will be considered. Teaching strategies
developed by educators, which lead towards greater gender equality in art education, will
also be discussed.
Finally. because my experiences as an art teacher and my current artwork have lead to
this gender related research. this discussion will include a brief autobiographical section,
a thorough description and analysis of my artwork, and my major artistic influences.
