TOP REVIEWS FROM SEXING THE CANVAS: ART AND GENDER
I really enjoyed this course. It was so interesting and I am now looking at paintings from new perspectives and with greater depth.
This course gave a comprehensive survey of issues relating to women and art. I loved the choice of artists and the historical context.
This was a wonderful course which gave me a new perspective when I view art and gave me new insights on artists and their works.
Thanks for the opportunity of this course which was interesting and very well presented .The single inconvenience was Quiz # 9 which was not only difficult but very chaotic to understand and follow.
