Implications of Feminist Art Criticism for Art Education.

Garber, Elizabeth

Studies in Art Education, v32 n1 p17-26 Fall 1990

Proposes using feminist art criticism, rather than the modernist emphasis, to teach art criticism. Outlines three goals for feminist art criticism: social analysis, political activism, and self-knowledge. Examines each goal and its complementarity, stressing a pluralistic approach. Maintains that such criticism promotes socially relevant learning. (KM)
