Personal drawings as a political statement

This creative project entailed the creation and display of ten drawings. These drawings were to be the result of research into the lives and artistic styles of a number of visual artists who explored political and social themes. The goals of the artist of the creative project were to develop and extend her ability to produce a personal visual language, to communicate by way of her drawings certain feminist and social concerns, and to relate her treatment of the drawn figure to the treatment other artists have traditionally given these concerns.Within the context of the ten drawings submitted for this creative project, it became clear that the artist had begun to develop a personalized visual language. The human figures were indicated by outlines which suggested the three dimensional form in a manner that was distinctive to the artist while fitting into the realm of contemporary feminist and political art. Furthermore, these drawings described the humanist/feminist concerns of the artist. / Department of Art
