Terms of the Day for November 4

• The Feminist Art Movement – a term which refers to the efforts and accomplishments of feminists internationally to make art that reflects women's lives and experiences, as well as to change the foundation for the production and reception of contemporary art. It also sought to bring more visibility to women within art history and art practice.
• Installation Art – an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space, generally an interior space.
• Performance Art – a term that refers to a performance presented to an audience, traditionally using interdisciplinary arts. Performance may be either scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated; spontaneous or otherwise carefully planned with or without audience participation. The actions of an individual or a group at a particular place and in a particular time constitute the work. 
• The Female Gaze – a deliberate appropriation of the “Male Gaze” that takes the common tropes of how women have been historically portrayed in art and applies them to depictions of men.
