Women have always been involved in design and the visual arts. It is an area that has long been neglected. Now at last, we see exhibitions, talks, seminars etc. dedicated to women and their contributions to the history of art and design. This course examines women in the fields of art, architecture, and design. Through looking at artists such as Angelica Kaufmann and Berthe Morisot; designers Varvara Stepanova and Aino Aalto; and architects Kate MacIntosh and Denise Scott Brown, we will discover their work and influence. We will also look at women as patrons, and their contribution to the enlightenment of art and design and its market forces. The course will further include one off site lesson, studying their work in-situ.
