Carolyn Genders Work Analysis

Ms. Luna, is an artist from the “Cuban Golden Generation” and lives in Miami since 1980. She graduated from San Alejandro School of the Arts. The artist, after graduated, was trained in sculptural ceramics by some of the most importants Cuban painter and sculpture like, Amelia Pelaez, Rene Portocarrero and Wilfredo Lam. Laura’s works goes through the paint and sculpture with a solid theorical and technical background.

All artists are influenced by the culture they are from. Our experiences and the environment in which we were raised shapes us, and thus the works we produce as artists. This essay will discuss, compare and contrast two artists from different cultures, and their ceramic artworks, with a focus on how their cultural background has influenced their art. The artists that will be discussed are Janet Fieldhouse, who is influenced by her Torres Strait Islander heritage and Aboriginal artist Dr. Thancoupie Gloria Fletcher.

Modern figurines of art stem directly from the hands of the ancient’s. The organic forms of modernly sculpted artifacts can most likely be directly referenced to the movements of prehistoric artworks. There seems to be an ongoing transition on how cultures no matter how stretched apart through time, contrasted by ethnicity or religious views; can all be somewhat related to each other by the methods or principles portrayed through their artworks. In fact, I saw that very transition; within two works in which are extremely different in meaning, craftsmanship, time, culture and so on. However, I was still able to find similarities within the artifacts. In this paper I will examine Venus of Willendorf, a Paleolithic carving in limestone; which can fit in the palm of one’s hand. As well as, The Sacrifice of Chacmool, which are a plethora of Mesoamerican statues emulating rituals of sacrifice.

The works are arranged thematically. Certain objects of the same category were placed fairly close to each other and the works overall in the exhibition were placed in a spherical rotation. The collection shows the Native North American’s legacy well. For instance, Shamans wore protective or spiritually charged pendants such as the object “unrecorded Tlingit Artist, Shaman’s amulet, 1820-40, Antler, abalone shell”. To display their belief in the complex mythology surrounding the energy of the erratic desert landscape and mainly the life-giving power of rainwater and mountains, the people of the American Southwest hand built pottery that features imagery reflecting their deep spirituality, such as

In this essay, I will compare and contrast two different sculptures from two different contexts of art. The first being an Olmec Colossal head (monument 1), from the context of “Art of the Americas,” and the second sculpture being ahead from Rafin Kura. The head from Rafin Kura comes from the context of “Art of Africa.” Both sculptures come from two different time periods and parts of the world. They also are both made with natural materials and have their own symbolic meaning.

Painted by a Naples painter in 420 BC, the Terracotta Lebes Gamikos is an intricately painted vase that depicts the preparations of a wedding. Attributed to Attic during the Greek classical period, it is now found in a gallery at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This terra-cotta vase emphasizes the role of women in Greek society through the illustrations depicting the actions of women as they prepare for a wedding, highlighting their role in the oikos. At a first glance, the illustrations between the register capture all audience’s attention. Although there are geometric patterns lining the top and bottom of the central illustrations, they hold no comparison to the intricate detail placed in the central image on the vase.

Ron Burgundy: "I'm a man who discovered the wheel, and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a 1/3 the size of us...It's science."

In Race, Class, Gender, and Woman’s Work, by Teresa Amott and Julie Matthael, this writing is about the racial divide of women work in the home and work outside of the home. In my opinion, the writing is independent of emotion, regardless that women wrote this piece. The use of quotes from feminist writers, such as Elizabeth Spelman.” Gender, race, and class are intertwined and independent of each other.” (pg.278)

     “Rosy cheeked and bright eyed, she would know how to darn a stocking and mend her own dress...command a regiment of

In the article Race, Class, Gender, And Women’s Work, authors Teresa Amott and Julie Matthaei discuss three central social categories: race, class, and gender in relation to the economic differences between women and men. They say that these three social categories are interconnected and historical processes that exist among each other. Throughout the article they emphasize how each category is interconnected and even say “it is artificial to discuss them outside of historical time and place, and separately from one another” (12). This concept can be referred to as intersectionality. Intersectionality describes how systems of oppression are interconnected and need to be examined together in order to receive a full understanding.

The film industry has created the conventional gender roles of society into their movies; A majority of films have supported some of the male and female stereotypes. In the history of the film industry, the role of men is primarilythat of the stereotypical working class man or hero, while the roles of women are primarily portrayed as being somewhat inferior to men. In the 1930s through the 1970s, men held the leading roles in films while women played smaller roles. Men were typically employed, successful gentlemen, while the woman’s only job was a housewife. The film industry was mostly dominated by men. In terms of jobs, women were given mostly family roles and rarely were shown outside of their homes, while men had

Sexism is the ideology that maintains that one sex is inherently inferior to the other. Sexism or discrimination based on gender has been a social issue for many years; it is the ideology that one sex is superior or inferior to the other. Sexism does not only affect females, but also males. Men are very often victimized by social stereotypes and norms based on gender expectations. Sexism has appears in almost all social institutions including family, the media, religion, sports, the military, politics, and the government. However, although both genders are affected, men have benefited from sexism the most (Thompson 300-301.)

Men and women are different. How different depends on what stereotype one chooses to believe. Although it has been argued that some stereotypes are positive, they are never beneficial. Society creates gender stereotypes and perpetuates them through societal institutions. In this paper the roles of gender will be analyzed regarding education, public policy, and the workplace. How education shapes gender, the gender norms in government, the law, policies, and the role of gender in the workplace will be discussed.

Initially, the first women entering the workplace did so out of desire. In a post feminist, post-civil right era and spurred on by higher levels of education. Women saw jobs and careers as rights that had previously been denied to them. Women were tired of just being "Big Johns Wife" or "Little Johnny's mommy". They wanted to be known the way men have always identified themselves by their jobs, their careers, and the level of success to which they had risen. Status, not salary, was the prime mover of the first wave of women to assault the previously all male worlds of medicine, and the corporate citadel

Feminization of work is an idea which lives up to expectations towards more noteworthy vocation of women and the point is to illuminate the issues concerning sex disparities in the work power. It points towards explaining the issues of sexual contrasts and killing imbalance in administrations.
