Students will learn about the lives of many women artists as well as different types of art, art styles, art movements and art techniques!

Some topics will be addressed during the presentation such as feminism, ageism, racism, addiction, etc. Any artwork that may contain nudity will be covered. I will also ask some weeks to bring scissors to class for collage-making.
