Everyone wants something in life. All Rosaura wants is to go to a party! In the story The Stolen Party, Liliana Heker, the author, focuses on many different craft moves. Those include repetition, full circle, and conclusion. She uses these to show how the monkey and Rosaura compare.

In society, there are several stereotypes and gender roles culturally influenced by women today. Cindy Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills series made between (1977-1980) shows different stereotypes of women in different everyday situations. This series consists of the artist posing as those female roles in seventy black and white photographs. In my opinion, by doing this series she challenges the way we view women regularly in pictures, by giving a different perspective. In this paper, I examine Cindy Sherman’s work and how my work is inspired by or relates to her work.

Classism and its Effects on Society:“The Stolen Party” by Liliana Heker Analysis Society, since the beginning of humankind, has created the idea of social class, differentiating people based on social, political, economical, and financial basis. The contribution of this system in modern day society creates this great gap and repercussions that the lower class has to suffer with. In Liliana Heker’s “The Stolen Party”, it is no different. Heker, through this story, using symbols, figurative language, and irony proves that the difference in fact, is vast and that prejudice lies ubiquitously between the lines. A young girl and the daughter of a maid, Rosaura, gets invited (or so she thought) to go to her “friend” Luciana’s party, unaware of why

In a time where social strictures denied most women a future in the field of visual arts, Harriet Hosmer defied all social convention with her large scale success in neoclassical sculpting. At a young age, Hosmer had already developed a striking reputation, one that qualified her to study abroad in Rome under the tutelage of renowned sculptor John Gibson. As if this opportunity wasn’t rare enough for women artists in her day, Hosmer’s outstanding potential earned her the luxury of studying from live models.6 The respect she gained from taking this unconventional route to her success is one that entirely transformed society’s perception of women. Not only did her unique story serve as a catalyst in the progression of gender equality, but she also hid symbolic messages within each of her sculptures to find a way to penetrate her beliefs of equality through to any soul.3 As the National Museum of Women in the Arts perfectly captures, “[s]he preferred Neoclassical idealism to more naturalistic trends and rendered mythological and historical figures, such as Oenone, Beatrice Cenci, and Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, with nobility and grandeur.

It is important to know why a piece is primarily created as well as the messages behind them. Reclaiming Female Agency is all about why something is initially created and the reason behind the artist’s style. For them it is just as important to the piece being named for the artist. Broude and Garrard along with all the artist they used to feel that if the artist was raised by an artist or had great tragedies happen to them as important to what they created and why. One artist’s story that stuck with me was Artemisia Gentileschi and what was also said about women killing men and others by Garrard.

In this essay, Pollock went into why American born and French trained artist Mary Cassatt paints whom she paints—women and children. Like most artist, Cassatt paints what she is familiar with and due to the time and place, she was more or less forced to paint what she did. Pollock pointed out such obstacles, whether it is her father disapproval with her education; her choice between a having a productive career or having a family of her own and her appetence into the male dominated art world. Pollock also goes into detail about why Cassatt paints her subjects in the settings that she does. Her paintings capture what I would call the quiet moments mostly between mother and child—moments that her male counterparts will not or cannot capture.

Consider the artworks you have studied and then describe an artwork that expresses your personal experience as a man or a woman. (it can be from the textbook or not) What roles have you played in your life that conform or deviate from established norms? How could you communicate that experience to your audience? “The Jewish Bride” I saw this painting from newspaper, I really interested about that, and I made some researchers, “The Jewish Bride” About his young couple we know next to no – their identity, regardless of whether she was a lady of the hour, whether they were really Jewish – however, this picture goes past representation regardless.

In this essay, I’m going to discuss the gender roles in the paintings of Dalí, in the film “Un Chien Andalou” by Buñuel and the poems of Federico García Lorca. Gender roles play a huge part within these works. All three of these artists had the ability to showcase something beautiful or majestic through disturbing and off putting imagery. This is what made their work so distinctive compared to many other artists during the surrealist period. The main things all of these artists have in common are their feelings and expressions of gender roles.

In The Dancer by Vickie Sears a young girl, Clarissa, finds herself and her confidence through dance. This took time, devotion and passion. At first, Clarissa was young, a bit odd and very isolated, this is shown in line 61 “as quiet as she could be, she was”. As Clarissa grew up she found something she loved (dancing) and practiced it alot. Showing how far Clarissa has come, the foster mom said “There Clarissa was, full up with music.

Out of The Flames Out of The Flames, by Lawrence and Nancy Goldstone, talks about the Protestant Reformation and historical figures, such as Michael Servetus, who stood up against the giant that was the Catholic Church. In the 1500s, the Catholic Church was very powerful and they controlled everything. Rebellious individuals used to come out with books against the Catholic Church. For example, Michael Servetus came out with a book called “The Errors of Trinity” which criticized the ideas of the Catholic Church.

This essay discusses transnational feminism in contemporary art and Reilly talks about her experience curating the art exhibit "Global Feminisms: New Directions in Contemporary Art," which presented a selection of young to mid-career women artists from a variety of cultures. The essay examines transformations in feminist theory and contemporary art practice and talks about artists Patricia Piccinini, Dayanita Singh, and Catherine Opie. Reilly really focuses on challenging First World Feminism that assumes "sameness" among women. Instead, the show and essay acknowledge the differences in the woman's lives. " In other words, this all-women exhibition aimed to be inclusively transnational, evading restrictive boundaries as it questioned the continued privileging of masculinist cultural production from Europe and the United States within the art market, cultural institutions, and exhibition practices."

1.2 Statement of Significance Art can do lots of things that can create powerful and great changes in ourselves. Artist is someone that is so hard to read if we fail to understand them to interpret the underlying meaning behind their painting because it is their getaway to express their emotions and desires to the community. To accomplish this, the artists are communicating with the society by delivering their messages through their artworks.
