There are several different forms of art they vary from paint to sculptures and graphic design to movies. My favorite art form is film. I like film because it an actual visual experience for me that you can watch time and time again. Painting and sculpture are interesting also but I feel like you can get more from a film because you can view it at home rather than at a museum. 2. Faith Ringgold was the “creator” of story quilt. When she makes her quilt she uses oil on a canvas and attaches it fabric. When faith started out back when racism was going on. She tried to get her biography published but since everyone denied her she put her story on a quilt and that’s how story quilting for her. My second art is Zaha Hadid. She’s an architect.

It gave them power, liberation, and a voice to overcome the emasculating efforts of white male power (Harrold, Hine, and Hine, 2009). When I first began this research, I discovered that Black Feminism is too broad of a topic to elaborate on as a whole. This paper defines the term “Black Feminism. It will explore two published articles that report on the theory and practice of how black feminism is making waves and what role of education in the development of the Black Feminist Thought from 1860 to 1920. This paper will examine when the National Black Feminist Organization was founded and lastly, how two outstanding women who made an impact in the Black Feminist Movement. According to Encyclo (n.d.) online encyclopedia the definition of black feminism is “A strand of feminist thought which highlights the multiple disadvantages of gender, class and race that shape the experiences of nonwhite women.

A more explicit acknowledgment of the role of these patterns in fair use analysis would be consistent with fair use, copyright policy, and tradition. Importantly, such an acknowledgment would help to bridge the often difficult conceptual gap between fair use claims asserted by individual defendants and the social and cultural implications of accepting or rejecting those claims.
