Structure Summary...as of last week.

A few of us did stick around after class on Thursday and spoke to Dr. Ryan briefly to see if she had seen the blog and if she thought we were heading in the right direction. As I understand and please correct me if I'm wrong - but our focus area is contemporary feminism. Everyone is to post artists they are interested in and how the may or may not relate to the current feminist movement. As for a structure, we think that will evolve as everyone solidifies their ideas.

I'm still trying to decide who I want to research and talk about. I'm looking at possibly choosing one of the original feminist artists and comparing to a current artist to touch on the differences of how Feminism today may compare to the 60's/70's. I am also toying with the idea of focusing on a current Feminist Exhibit that touches on a variety of contemporary artists and the role it played in the art world as well as for the artist. Does anyone have input on these two ideas?

Dr. Ryan also noted that it would probably be a good idea to email her individually so she could give more direct input and possible suggestions for your research.

To the others that were in the informal meeting - did I miss anything?
