March Week One

Women Artists

This week, in honor of International Women's Day, we honored some incredible female artists, including Frida Kahlo, Georgia O'Keefe, and photographers like Sally Mann and Lauren Greenfield.



Listening
For listening this week learners could try listening to Art at Listen a Minute or a dialogue about a modern art exhibit. Or for something a bit more difficult, why not have a go at listening to a biography about the American painter, Georgia O'Keefe. For original version, check out the interactive about Frida Kahlo's work and her art at SFMoma.

Reading
Learners should try reading about someone who hates art, or for something a little harder, a text about Diane Arbus.  For original version, try an article about the photographer Cindy Sherman.

Writing
Please pick a painting, a sculpture, or a photograph by a famous female artist and write about it.  Describe it, explain why you enjoy it.  Do you know anything about the author's life?  Why

Best,
Kelly
