Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, watch The Story of Women and Art: Episode 3.Towards the end of the required video for this week, Ms. Vickery discusses the idea that women artists, as reflected in the ones she chose to discuss this week, have moved past copying men (‘derivative’) and into creating new art forms entirely. In the “Post Your Introduction” forum, you discussed a female artist that you respect.Considering all that you have learned in this course, put your female artist in historical perspective. Of the many artists we have discussed in this course, who is she most like and why? Is she creating a new art form, or is she competing on her own terms in an art still dominated by men? Is she a product of third or fourth wave feminism, and why? Do you respect and admire her as much now as you did when you started this course? Why or why not?Be sure to support your ideas with examples from the required readings and videos for the week. As always, citation is mandatory. Please review APA style.Respond to your instructor’s question with a first response, due on Day 3. In your first response, embed a multimedia piece, such as a short clip of a video, a link to an audio, or an image that supports or enhances the textual evidence in your response. Remember the multimedia enhances your discussion but does not replace it. Although you may e
mbed additional multimedia in your responses to your classmates, it is only required in the initial response. Attend discussion, responding to your classmates on at least three separate days by Day 7 to keep the dialogue moving. There is no required word count for individual posts as long as all your posts together total 500 wordsGuided Response: Discussions are dialogues with your peers and instructor about the course content. This means that in addition to posting a first response to the prompt, you will continue to dialogue throughout the week by posting a total of four days in the week. Although the first post is not a mini-essay, it is expected that you will draw from the readings and use textual evidence to support your discussion. In addition, you will add multimedia to your posts to enhance our experience of women creating culture. When you embed multimedia, you will guide your classmates toward understanding your contribution by explaining your reasons for selecting the image, video, or audio. When responding to classmates, try to add something new and insightful to the discussion. There are a variety of ways to do so, for example, expand on your classmate’s post, reply to a question, or share an insight. You will find more guidance on how to post an excellent discussion response and respond to your peers under the About Discussions topic in Course Home.
