Abstract

This paper describes how the Art: noun, feminine, plural project was carried out by female trainee teachers. A range of different activities and metacognitive strategies were used to raise the visibility of a forgotten piece of history: the key role in artis-tic creation played by many women. The project aimed to raise trainee teachers’ awareness of this gender issue since they will have the chance to have a positive influence on the education of generations of boys and girls. The use of different resources (the internet, art books, encyclopaedias, etc) made it possible to discover the work of many female artists.
