Course: Painting inspired by Women Artists, led by Maria Tavares

Get inspiration from women artists and create your own masterpiece. Explore acrylic paints and techniques - Texture; Colour; Principles of light and shading; Create original artwork inspired by women artists. 

Develop social awareness and critical thinking on the theme ' Women’s Human Rights and Gender Equality'. No prior knowledge required, only a desire to learn painting techniques and discuss women artists in a fun and relaxing environment. 

Women artists have often been mis-characterized in historical accounts, both intentionally and unintentionally; such misrepresentations have often been dictated by the socio-political mores of the given era. We will discuss the issues that lie behind this.

Maria Tavares, artist and art tutor will lead this 11 week course discussing the misrepresentation of women in art history and feminism. This is a hands on course where you'll be painting using acrylics and will have the opportunity to study the art works created by women around the Tate Gallery.
