Teaching Ideas: |
|
| It might be fun to brainstorm words describing Bourgeois' work.Interested readers can use the "Where to View" section to research more of Bourgeois' works. Students could work in pairs to apply the "How to Look at a Sculpture" section, selecting a favorite from the book, or a museum, to work through the questions to each other's satisfaction. The book serves as a springboard for reading about other female artists, e.g. Dorthea Lang or Georgia O'Keefe. Art students might emulate the style used in her art. | |
