International Women's Day – Typo FeatureFemale artists have always had a hard stand in a world dominated by men. Throughout the centuries, maybe even millenia, women have always been artists. However they very often did not get the deserved attention and have been struggling with times in which it was even forbidden for them to study arts. But there is no real reason as to why a women can't be an artist as good as a man. The reason, that the majority of fine artists seems to be male, lies much deeper in society and so-called-tradition, than in the fact that women cannot create art.
Here are some great historic female artists for you to check out:
Hildegard of Bingen (Germany, *1098 – †1179, Medieval)Artemisia Gentileschi (Italy, *1593 – †1652, Baroque)Suzanne Valadon (France, *1865 – †193

“Annually on 8 March, thousands of events are held throughout the world to inspire women and celebrate achievements. A global web of rich and diverse local activity connects women from all around the world ranging from political rallies, business conferences, government activities and networking events through to local women's craft markets, theatric performances, fashion parades and more.” – http://www.internationalwomensday.com/.
To celebrate this day, I’m featuring female fan artists from all over deviantART. Many thanks to those who responded to my request for suggestions, you’re great and without your input this community wouldn’t be so amazing.

However, since I received so many suggestions, I’ll be splitting the feature in 4 different articles

International Women's Day: Female Focused Vector What is International Women's Day?
The following has been quoted from the InternationalWomensDay.com:
"International Women's Day has been observed since in the early 1900's, a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies.
The new millennium has witnessed a significant change and attitudinal shift in both women's and society's thoughts about women's equality and emancipation. Many from a younger generation feel that 'all the battles have been won for women' while many feminists from the 1970's know only too well the longevity and ingrained complexity of patriarchy. With more women in the boardroom, greater equality in legislative rights, and an increased critical mass of women's visibility as impressive role models in every aspect of life, one could think

Project Educate: People & Portraits OverviewThis week ^Kaz-D and myself are bringing you an overview of the Photography Galleries on deviantART.

So today, International Women's Day, I'm doing a feature of some awesome pixel work done by women in the pixel community.

Project Educate - Urban & Rural Photography

Project Educate: Architecture and Urban & Rural Photography Week
An introduction to the Urban & Rural Photography gallery
Hi there and welcome to the Project Educate week for Architecture and Urban & Rural Photography! Before the week can really start off, we need to find out what Architecture and Urban & Rural Photography are really about. In later articles, we will also go in depth on the subcategories of both galleries. We started off with exploring Architecture Photography in an earlier article, it's time for Urban & Rural Photography now!
Urban & rural photography, found as photography subcategory Photography > Urban & Rural, is photography focusing on the entire area rather than an individual building or structure (like with Architecture). It is described

Project Educate: Using a Tripod for APNNature Photography and Tripods
`trevg is the Community Volunteer for Animals, Plants and Nature Photography. He has kindly put together this fantastic article on using a tripod to obtain nature photography - there are some excellent tips included!
Camera Shake...
Camera shake ruins millions of photos every year. Using a tripod is one step we can all take to reverse this problem. When hand-holding your rig for macro or super-telephoto work, the slightest movement will undoubtedly blur your image and/or completely change your composition. Using a tripod to lock your camera in place can help you avoid the heartache brought on by this rapidly growing epidemic. Be part of the solution and buy a tripod today!

Though many of us own a tripod, we don't always use it. There are many reasons to forgo your trusty three-legged friend. Tripods can be heavy and unwieldy

Celebrating Diversity #13In this issue of Celebrating Diversity, I would like to remind you of an amazing feeling...when you see a piece of art created in a medium or genre that you have little or no experience of working in, and it feels like you're witnessing something magical, something beyond your comprehension.
It's wonderful to revel in the joy of How do they do that? and find inspiration in the creations of other artists. So I challenge you to take a step outside of the galleries that you regularly browse and immerse yourself in the experience of indulging in something new.

How do you celebrate diversity?

Do you regularly browse, comment on and collect art that's wildly different from what you create?

Do you watch artists who use mediums that you don't use in your own
