You'll be able to take the class on many different levels, but I do like to have some solid art history and technique in there when I can for folk to get their teeth into!!!<br />Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-36081869783672529052013-06-21T17:41:29.780-07:002013-06-21T17:41:29.780-07:00After reading this - I'm thinking that I'm...After reading this - I'm thinking that I'm glad I have a lap top for the class abstract lectures that are coming up - the last time you got inspired like this - it was working in series and I ended up with 12 pages of hand written notes (which I still refer back to!) So glad the class filled.<br /><br />I notice constantly too that women are over looked in the art history. You know darn well that they were creating along side their dangle parted partners. Its such a shame that 50% of artists are over looked due to their reproduction organs. <br /><br />I do know that I'm more interested in women artists and what they want to express (especially in abstracted work). I'm sure its because by our very nature we think so differently than men.<br /> <br />I'll make sure I look extra hard for female artists' inspiration.Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-36942541041612895362013-06-19T11:04:48.549-07:002013-06-19T11:04:48.549-07:00I know my print work is heavily influenced by the ...I know my print work is heavily influenced by the abstract expressionism style, particularly Diebenkorn and Rothko.

A male lit critic recently told my daughter ( a lit professor) that Arabic women writers were only studied because they're women. Oh, please. So now she has to prove him wrong. Wish I could see your powerpoint and take a class. It sounds very exciting.<br />best, nadiaMulticoloredPieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06161913409399066123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-30639137362078345232013-06-18T14:54:01.824-07:002013-06-18T14:54:01.824-07:00Actually, I moved to making abstract art because i...Actually, I moved to making abstract art because if I could capture a moment with a camera, I had no interest in trying to do it in textiles.bj paradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601731952781710406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-87552375757996407422013-06-18T10:30:16.021-07:002013-06-18T10:30:16.021-07:00Thank you for the recommendation, Lori - I've ...Thank you for the recommendation, Lori - I've put in on hold at my public library!Elizabeth Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928615247903165719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1210759514036256082.post-63235244029712375492013-06-18T09:58:17.612-07:002013-06-18T09:58:17.612-07:00Currently reading "Lee Krasner: A Biography&q...Currently reading "Lee Krasner: A Biography" by Gail Levin. Gives good insight on her being an artist in her own right (she was married to Pollock), her views on women in art, and her relationships with other artists. Your class sounds fantastic.
