WOMEN IN PHILOSOPHY, SCIENCE, DIDACTIC AND ART PART 2, didactic and art

Didactics is a theory of teaching, and in a wider sense, a theory and practical application of teaching and learning.

Timarete, daughter of Micon: a Diana at Ephesus, a panel painting in a very old style; Irene, daughter and student of the painter Cratinus: the girl who is at Eleusis [presumably Kore], Calypso, an old man and the conjurer Theodorus, Alcisthenes the dancer; Aristarete, daughter and pupil of Nearchus: Asclepius; D. Iaia of Cyzicus, who never married, painted works at Rome when Varro was a young man both with a brush and with a graver on ivory: portraits of women mostly, an old woman in Naples depicted on a large wooden surface, a self-portrait done with a mirror;… a certain Olympias painted as well.

Middle Ages women artists are difficult to research. Medieval women during the Middle Ages were dominated by men. They basically either married or entered a religious institution as a nun in a convent. Early Middle Ages Art was initially restricted to the production of Pietistic painting (religious art) in the form of illuminated manuscripts, mosaics and fresco paintings in churches. Both Monks and Nuns were the main artists during the Middle Ages. The women who became nuns were responsible for many illuminated manuscripts.
