– Each artist explained the idea of his work, the symbols used, and its relation to the story it represents.
– Artists have commented on each other’s work and proposed amendments or additions.
– Artists were given drawing tools to start paintings.

Artist Notes:

– Artists had concern of interfering in their artistic work, however, they only received comments on the content of their paintings and the importance of high lightening the gender in them.

Comments on the achieved work:

– Artists were given ideas of the form of women to be drawn, they should bear in mind avoiding problems of any form by coding the shape of women, and adding the popular adornment of Yemeni women to indicate the belonging.
– Some sketches were dull and lack any beauty of the idea, so artists participated to overcome this problem.
– Focus on how women are presented in a gender perspective.
