week 1- the middle ages
The person I am writing about who was significant in the middle ages for art, would be Hildegard of bingen. She is significant because she was a popular composer and she knew how to be lyrical. This is a big step for women because it was barely just the start for women to get their spotlight. -

week 2- the renaissance ( Massacio)
Masaccio is one of the major artists that were known during the renaissance period as he created history with the natural and realistic effect of his art work. He was born in Italy as well and died at the age of 27 years old. He may have had not made an impact on just particularly women, but he did switch up the game of how artists continue to create art. -

week 2- the renaissance
This week is to show what two types of art stood out to me during the renaissance time -
week 3 the 17th century anna maria Schurman
The history of Anna Marie Schurman is that she was born November 5, 1607. She was born in Germany and passed away at the age of 70 years old. She showed extreme success as she has degrees in both art and law. She made a movement for women because she showed that she can be successful at any aspect of her life and she did not let men get in the way of her success. -
week 3- the 17th century Judith Leyster
A background history of Judith Leyster is that she was born July 28, 1609 in the Netherlands. She became huge and well known as an artist but after her death, a lot of people seemed to kick her remembrance to the dust which is a shame as she was very impactful to women. She has five children and made family a priority -
week 4 the eighteenth century ( Angelica Kauffmann)
I am writing about Kauffmann because throughout the reading, she inspired me. I say this because even with little training, she still continued to do the work she wanted to do and SUCCEEDED. Regardless of how other people felt, she still stood next to her work with pride and that shows a lot of guts for not just a woman, but anybody. She was the first woman in history who challenged masculine monopoly ( Chadwick, 153.) She was known for creating large scale historical works. -
week 4- the eighteenth century ( Elisabeth Louise Vigee)
Elisabeth Louise Vigee was born april 16, 1755 in france. Her father was an artist himself and when he began to see the talent of Elisabeth, he gave her access to his studio and because of that, it gave her somewhere to practice. She was known as the best at drawing self portraits as she has several of herself. She died at the age of 86 years old in France.she already knew that her gift in life was art. Most people go their whole lives not knowing what their gift is. -
week 5- the nineteenth century ( Anna Blunden)
Anna blunden born in London in the year of 1829 was known as an artist of her century. She stood out to me because she pursued both art and went out and worked other jobs. She and many other women were over worked and very tired and she tried to create art to make a change and a new awareness. Women worked long and hard hours and were still expected to keep up with being full time care givers at home. -
week 5- the nineteenth century ( Harriet powers)
I am choosing to write about harriet powers because she lived a very hard life and worked really hard and her story is deserving of recognition. Powers was known as the best quilter of the nation and her quilts had impactful stories that touched peoples hearts when they see it. Powers was born on a plantation and was a slave for the first 18 years of her life. After leaving the plantation, she got married and had 9 children. -
week 7- 20th century america Augusta Savage
savage is known as an extremely talented sculptor but was also a teacher to people who eventually became famous and she fought for african american rights in the art industry. I think this is incredible because she used one of her talents and branched out and helped other people who want the help. A lot of people do not know how to slow down and think about other people so the fact she made a huge impact in several different ways inspires me. -
the late 20th century- betye saar
saar was born in 1927 in California and to this day she still lives out there. Both of Saars parents attending the university in california but later on in life, her father passed away. Saar started out as a social worker and then later ventured out into art. and she had visions of what she wanted her heroes to be growing up. She imagined aunt jemima putting guns in her skirt because she wanted to have the idea that she could empower aunt jemima and make her powerful. -
week 6- 20th century (europe) Helen Frankenthaler
she made a new movement of being able to create modern art with color and one of the paintings that she created art that had symbolism and color and it made people think. -
week 7- the 20th century america joan brown
Brown stood out to me because she was somebody that took experiences that made an impact on her personal life and was able to put it into her art. I like this because if an artist can be vulnerable and be able to show me the things that impacted them, it gives me a deep understanding of who they are as a person. -
the late 20th century- Barbara Kruger
Kruger was born in 1945 in New Jersey and is still alive pursuing art at this moment. Growing up, both of her parents kept stable and busy jobs which explains the work ethic she has. Kruger has always been passionate about the art industry as she began adventuring poetry and then started pursuing creating her own art. Kruger is currently successful in multiple roles such as fashion, art, teaching and showing her voice in activism. -
week 6- 20th century (europe) Tamara de lempicka
she challenged art for women completely in this century. She is well known for polished art deco portraits and for painting nudes of women. Art containing womens nude bodies started in this century and became huge because it created a completely different conversation about art
