A revered teacher and the most influential feminist artist of our time; Judy Chicago provides an autobiographical look at higher education in art; a must-read for aspiring artists and educators in studio art programs. How should womenmdash;and menmdash;be prepared for a career in todayrsquo;s art world? For more than a decade; Judy Chicago has been formulating a critique of studio art education; in colleges or art schools; based upon observation; study; and; most importantly; her own teaching experiences; which have taken her from prestigious universities to regional colleges; and across the country from Cal Poly Pomona to Duke University and the University of North Carolina; Chapel Hill. Founder of the first program dedicated to feminist art; at California State University; Fresno; in 1970; she went on to initiate the Feminist Art Program at California Institute of the Arts with artist Miriam Schapiro; the first program at a major art school to specifically address the needs of female art students. Creator of the celebrated The Dinner Party; a monumental art installation now on permanent display at the Brooklyn Museum; Chicago reviews her own art education; in the 1960s; when she overcame sexist obstacles to beginning a career as an artist and became recognized as one of the key figures in the dynamic California art scene of that decade. She reviews the present-day situation of young people aspiring to become artists and uncovers the persistence of a bias against women and other minorities in studio art education. Far from a dry educational treatise; Institutional Time is heartfelt; and highly personal: a book that has the earmarks of a classic in arts education.

Not a real coloring book; no print linkBy Florida KayakerStuck in the Past! is a Jupiter Kids book and all of the Jupiter Kids Kindle books seem to the same. You get 14 very simple designs that you cannot color but are meant to be a preview of the real book. You also get a link to download the images from 12 other books. These are the same books that you get when you purchase a Kindle coloring book from Speedy Publishing.
