Continue participating in the Gallery Talk exercise by responding to your classmates’ posts. Use what you’ve learned from this Workshop to enrich your discussion. Keep in mind that the focus of this Gallery Talk is to examine the influences of Western ideas and society on other regions of the world. Thus, you should strive to expand your learning of women’s lives and art beyond the Western world.
