Their art did achieve one of their goals by inspiring  change gender stereotypes. 

 The dinner part

Judy Chicago

 1979 

Ceramic cutlery & chalice were used, as well as napkin with embroids. 

 48f. 

This is  piece by Judy herself, theres 39 plates around the whole  table that represent iconic woman.

I liked that she included different woman who each had a play in history. 

 Barbara Kruger 

1989

  this is a split filtered  image with “positive & negative exposures” and big texts. 

this is  a print made for 1989 reproductive rights, it symbolizes the good and bad that women struggle with. I feel like sometimes women aren’t really listened to and their opinions can be ignored. Barbara was a voice for these woman who had different beliefs in abortion.

I like the way this image was created, the bold words and the way the girl is split like a reflection.

Jean baptiste 

1867

 it's a sculpture 

 H. 10 7/8 in. (27.5 cm), W. 5 7/8 in. (14.8 cm), D. 6 1/8 in. (15.7 cm)

this piece stood out to me because of the four women carrying the “world” , each representing parts  of the world being ; Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. I like the way each woman is twisting giving the sphere motion. 

 Guerilla Girls

1985

this is a print with a one dollar bill in the middle and words that say “, women in America earn only  2/3 of what men do” below. 

17 × 22 in. (43.18 × 55.88 cm)

One of the reasons The feminist art movement was created is  to change inequality and this image is a great example of it. This is a problem that woman or even gays/lesbians are facing to this day.

Barbara Kruger 

3,1981 

photograph with red border 

 4 ft. 7 in. x 3 ft. 5 in.

this is a very meaning full art piece that deals with “ male gaze” 

It's the way that a woman is objectified by male. The female expression kinda gives off “ women are not objects” vibes to me and both the male and female have their “ gaze”

* i found that All Five of my art choices were good examples of some of the reasons the Feminist art movement was created. Like Inequality & Politics. 
To me, image #2 & 4 represent both. artwork #1 & 5 were actually created by two members of the Movement. 
Barbara Kruger and Judy Chigago.

The murals were more prominent in Mexico. They depicted Mexico’s history post-revolutionary Mexican governments.

I chose this mural because Diego Rivera would make his murals depicting Mexico's indigenous culture and help teach about Mexico's history.
Material: Fresco

Graffiti is worldwide and has many famous artist, but tends to be associated in more urban or densely populated cities around the world.

The four artist I chose from the graffiti movement are Banksy, Lady Pink, David Choe, and Blek Le Rat. They all differ from one another minus Banksy and Blek Le Rat. It is said that Blek Le Rat is the pioneer for stencil graffiti and inspired Bansky who is now debated as one of the most famous graffiti artist in the world. 

The visual characteristics of this movement are "writing, drawing, or painting on walls or surfaces of a structure"(1) Banksy has a few pieces that are famous. "The Balloon Girl" 2002, "Rage, the Flower Thrower" 2005, and "Singing in the colored Rain" 2009.

The goals are for the artist to express themselves with controversial pieces and relatable pieces. 

During WWII soldiers would paint "Kilroy was here" to try to add some familiarity and humor to the foreign lands they marched through.

Graffiti is an expression of how different regions and current events around the world are displayed. Artist will paint during times of war to show there takes on wars and different civil rights movements. It takes on many forms, colors, it is abstract and realistic.

This art by Banksy shows the different mindsets of adults versus children. I  think he is trying to identify that when we get older we get caught in the rat race of life versus to enjoy living in the moment

Branching from this era is many remembered female artists that used their art to send a message. Judy Chicago and Miriam Shapiro being two very significant women in the 1970’s. Chicago and Shapiro fought to make female art more predominant in the art community by creating museums, solely for female artists to be displayed. Quoted from Chicago, “There has to be more room for us as artists. We have to be able to be seen in our fullness in terms of our own artistic agency, and we’re a long way from that”(The Art Story, 2022). Chicago used her art to empower women. One of her artworks that stood out to me at first glance, titled “The Dinner Party” (1974-1779). Judy Chicagos’ “The Dinner Party” sculpture was one of her most famous and significant. The sculpture is a very large triangular table setting with 39 porcelain place settings.. She intended for each setting to represent a woman of significance. The table is on top of a floor which is engraved with the names of another 999 significant women. Her symmetrical, balanced sculpture was used to further represent the balance of the world once women are recognised and given the credit they deserve. This intricate piece took about 5 years total to create. It is pristine and exact. Which personally, reflects Chicago’s full intention to make this powerful statement to the world.

Barbara Kruger was also very impactful during the feminist movement. She was predominantly famous in the decade of the 80’s and 90’s for her posters of women with diction written in magazine-like lettering on top. Kruger stood out to me specifically because of her incorporation of sarcasm in her works of art. She incorporated conceptual art with feminst art, while including her wit. She is a very unique and creative woman. 

A piece by Barbara Kruger that is technically untitled, but referred to as “We Don’t Need Another Hero.” A picture of two young girls, who seem to be looking at their bicep muscles while flexing their arms. With the diction written over them saying, “We don’t need another hero.” At first glance, as a young woman, I felt very empowered. Females are often portrayed as the “damsel in distress” in art, media, movies. Which never really sat right with me, because all of the strongest people I know in my life are women. She used humor to strengthen women and let them know that they, too, have a voice. Also, that their voice is important. 

Many other women contributed to this awakening of the beauty in how female artists portray art. From sculptures, video art, posters, and performance art. Today, we still see the expression of feminism in more explicit ways and women are continuously working to make female art in communities all over the country. 

David Choe was asked to paint murals for Facebook for $60,000 and stock in Facebook. He rolled the dice and took off. Facebook since has taken down some of his paintings and sent them to each of their offices.  I chose this because it shows if you apply yourself you will be rewarded.

1949, on the suggestion of his wife Bonnie, Seymour came up with the aerosol can full of paint, the first color being aluminum. Edward Seymour could have had no idea just how much his paint in a spray can invention would change the face of our urban landscapes. 

The 1980’s is where graffiti took off in street culture and emerging in music videos on MTV, subways, and expanding worldwide. There was also a crossover into the world of gallery art and prestige. Banksy is know world wide for his stencil work and political messages that he leave on walls worldwide.

Graffiti is still emerging and continuing to reach new levels. Business, You can see it in parks, pavement, corporate buildings and still street art. Just amazing how this art from took off after the invention of a valve, aluminum, and paint.

 

Graffiti art is still used to this day. Even though graffiti art is very popular to this day, it is a crime in the form a vandalism and can be charged as a criminal act. 

 

Three main artists associated with this movement that I’ve chosen are Darryl McCray AKA “Cornbread,” Banksy, and Keith Haring. Darryl McCray popularized graffiti art to what it is today. Banksy was able to remain anonymous, but he is a famous English artist who is responsible for launching guerilla work into the mainstream and make it as big as it is today. 

 

The primary visual characteristics of this movement are line, color, and value. In Banksy’s artwork he uses mainly value to portray is work. Most of his work is in black and white to make his artwork stand out from others. In Cornbread’s artwork he mainly uses line, and color. Cornbread would write his name in many different types of ways and use many different types of color in order to make his artwork stand out. 

 

The main goal for Cornbread to start this movement was to get the attention of the media and the community. There are many reasons why people would graffiti, it could be to tell a story, express yourself, describe people, culture, art, places, and society. 

 

The whole point when graffiti started was to get your name out to as many locations as you can find. Not long after gang names would get there name out there in order to claim territory. Graffiti was to send a message to people passing by to let them know who was there before. 

step 5.
This piece catches my attention because of the very old color way. In my opinion I believe this image is a perfect idea of what minimalism means. The meaning of this image is also a perfect "reaction against abstract expressionism and modernism" according to" accoridng to http://www.moma.org/collection/details.php?theme_id=10459.

step 5. Personally, This piece was one of the hardest to describe but just because of where the image was being searched on. But the reason why this image draws my attention is because of the color way and the cross. Giving the idea to the viewer that the image is religious. The underexposed light can be one of the reasons why this is a good example of minimalism. The objective in the room give it a perfect setting for it. Its not to cluttered nor the opposite of minimalism.

step5. In this piece what draws my attention is that it has no dirt, very good lighting, and the objects being used in the image give it a perfect small family home look. The lighting is just in between under and over exposed. Giving it a perfect lighting that brightness the whole room up. This piece is a good example of the minimalist movement I have been talking about. This piece has no clutter no messes on the ground giving it a clean and untouched looked.

step 5. In each caption, write a few sentences about why each piece draws your attention, This piece draws my attention to  the location. The shape of this sculpture is one of a kind. The location is the most eye appealing to me because of how untouched the overgrown weeds have reached. The fact that the sculpture is the only object in the image speaks for minimalism. The whole idea of have these hard scape objects outside helps them fall under the category of minimalism. 

step 5. When the first time I saw this piece, my thoughts were the lines, the shapes, and the colors. Those three things were very appealing to my eyes because of how natural and realistic this image is. This image is a good example of the overall movement of minimalism because the main objective are the squares. The location shows no signs of un organization which makes it very minimal. 

I chose this particular painting because there is many things happening along side the history of Mexico lies within the 400 depicts of characters all lined up. Which each represent a different time in history.  And as you see throughout the Mural that some places are lighter and darker, for example the side in which the police are is a big darker than that space of the balloon and colorful area of the painting. The darkness represents the conflict between he police and indigenous peoples. 

I decided to also use this painting As it relates to my movement of Muralismo. This painting relates because the movement of Muralismo gave new opportunities for Men and Women , as they helped during the Mexican Revolution and helped their Husbands. This is symbolizing that women and men can create change.

I chose this piece to analyze because it caught my eye as to the connection within the movement of Muralismo as the picture depicts many men that are will known in Mexico and throughout Mexican American History . In the far upper part of the painting that seems to cover most of the canvas is Miguel Hidalgo, who was a priest during the Mexican Revolution. Along with him A Paper that says The words "Libertad" meaning " Liberty" in English, during this time the Poor Mexicans were slaves and Miguel Hidalgo felt sorry for their living conditions and wanted to create a change or shift of mindset.

I chose to use this as my last Piece of Art to share Because it ties together the movement in which the need for acceptance and no barriers between humans. The fight for equal rights, equal education, access to equal opportunities . Is what we continue to fight for .

 

I chose this piece of work as it was one of Tezuka’s popular Shōnen manga series that grew in fame after being published by Kobunsha and received praise along with paving the way into Japan’s new product in the entertainment industry. The Astro boy manga was first published in 1952 with its anime adaptation starting in 1963. Influenced by Disney works, its reputation saw it keep its classic art style into modernization with smoother animation and visuals with the lightheartedness of the original anime with the darker and more serious themes of the manga and 1980 TV series. To me, Astro Boy has shown me that you must be careful and aware of powers endowed and or given as the character, despite his abilities and equipment he has, chose to do good rather for more nefarious desires.

Due to the thriving decorative arts, art forms like painting took a back set but there was one independently successful Polish artist names Tamara de Lempicka who worked in the Art Deco style. Inspired by cubism but given a sense of motion with bouncing curls and flowing garments impart her paintings with a sultry sense.

Art Deco also had a metamorphic impact on fashion and revolutionized women’s clothing. It was the exciting time that was credited with the “death of the corset”.

The Art Deco movement came out of the Industrial Revolution. Factories were able to produce much more products than they were before. With the new technologies, such as cars, radios, vacuums, and refrigerators, there was an aggressive desire to get rid the hard laboring past, and embrace the man made shinny new future. Out with the old, in with the new. The Art Deco Movement played an essential role in shaping the modern look of Western cities such as New York, Miami, San Francisco and Chicago in the early 1900’s. The most famous building with the infamous Art deco style is the Chrysler Building in New York City. 
I found this picture of a wood engraving made in the time era by Howard Cook that shows the architecture of the Chrysler building.

Now this is one type of minimalism art, you might think that minimalism is supposed to have neutral or saturated colors well I guess I just showed you that no, minimalism isn't as boring as you might think it is. I chose this for a reason showing that the you can do minimalism with any color on anything and using anything. You can use the whole rainbow and make it minimalism, after all it is simple but yet interesting in a good way, I was really curious why this artists used such a big wall to paint bright colors on it. Well, the artist said the the swirls of the different colors are supposed to respond to the architectural details of the stairway. I thought that was a really simple reason why the artist had created this, I thought they had a more deep reason to this but no, it was because he wanted it to contrast with the architectural details of the stairway. That was a reason why I thought this was another way to represent this art movement "Minimalism". You don't have to have a deep reason for what you made, it doesn't have to have neutral colors or saturated ones, like I said it can have anything on it and be anything, in the end it is art.

During 1890 to 1910 Art Nouveau reached to its peak. The movement ended in the start of world War I, 1914. According to Wikipedia, Art Nouveau started in Belgium and France, and  spread to other European countries. There are different names in different countries for Art Nouveau movement. The most famous artists of Art Nouveau movement is Alphonse Mucha, Louis Tiffany of the United Statesand the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi. 

Art Nouveau was inspired by objects seen in natural settings, similar to Rococo: the curves lines of flowers, leaf, vines and wings of insects. It featured attractive, feminine women in highly stylized dress with flowers or intricate headbands on their hair. 

The goal of Art Nouveau was to make art modern.. According to the Artstory, Art Nouveau movement was “abolishing the traditional hierarchy ofthe arts.” Art Nouveau can be seen in paintings, architectures, interior design, decorative arts and jewelry. 

Art Nouveau movement was at the time that old and new intertwined, new technologies were found, known as La Belle Epoque period in Paris. The famous landmark, Eiffel Tower was built, the electric elevator was invented, a new subway system in Paris was planned, the entrance of Paris subway is in fact, an Art Nouveau style. Art Nouveau movement was a good, fun and innovative time before the start of World War I.

I, this artwork cause my attention due to its' simplicity; It is a bird and tree in nature but the special is how Picasso paint his bird and a tree position as it was growing from left to right where the sky is top and the yellow area is earth. The color was painted in a perfect orientation where yellow blended well with green and brown. On the top, a bird is black mixed with slight color to help balance the painting.

This artwork contains a very deep meaning that women look at themselves as disqualification due to woman's mindset standar. As I observed, a woman outside the mirror was painted with a pretty and half-happy face which indicates her displeasure. Moreover, due to it her image in a mirror squirmed into a very sad darker face. As a result, it reminded me that mental health can cause disapproval from myself and I need to see myself as the most confident as I am without a mirror.
