    ARTS AND CRAFTS

    PART 3

    WHO ARE THE ARTISTS?

    GUERRILLA GIRLS: Art for the Social Conscience


    They are a group of feminist activist artists. They
    assume the names of dead women artists and wear
    gorilla masks in public. They use facts, humor and
    visuals to complain about gender and ethnic
    discrimination as well as corruption in politics, art,
    film, and pop culture. They believe in a feminism
    that fights discrimination and supports human
    rights for all people and all genders. They have worked on hundreds of projects (billboards, posters, actions,
    books, videos, stickers) all over the world. They have also done interventions and exhibitions at museums
    attacking them for their discriminatory practices. They have been doing this since 1985. They are
    anonymous because they want to focus on the issues and not on their personalities. It doesn’t matter who
    they are. They could be anyone. They are everywhere. What’s next? More creative complaining!’
    The Guerrilla Girls’s Guide to Behaving Badly:

    Be a loser. Join the world of artistic


    cooperation and collaboration. This is not a
    competition.

    Be impatient. Don’t sit around waiting!


    Create your own projects now!

    Be crazy. Create art that is strange and


    funny to change people’s minds.

    Be anonymous. Focus on the issues.

    Don’t make only expensive art. Make


    some cheap art that everyone can get (like
    books or movies).

    Complain, complain, complain. But be


    creative about it.

    Use the F word. Be a feminist.

    FINAL TASK
    WRITING

    • WHAT IS AN ARTICLE?
    An article is a piece of writing usually intended for publication in a newspaper, magazine or journal.
    It is written for an audience, so it is essential to attract your readers’ attention. It can describe an
    experience, an event, person or place; it can present an opinion or provide information. It must
    include an eye-catching title that attracts the readers’ attention and suggests the theme of the
    article.

    2) Choose an artist who challenges the art world in some way. Find out information about them and
    then write an article focusing on their art. Include the following information:

    • Their name
    • Where they are from
    • Their art form
    • The tools or material they use to work on their art
    • What makes them different

    Use Present Perfect Simple, Present Perfect Continuous and vocabulary connected with art. Add a title
    and pictures.

    You will have to present the article in front of the whole class. For your presentation include pictures, a
    PowerPoint presentation or some type of visual representation of the artist’s artwork.
