Philadelphia School of Design for Women

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article because it seems to be lacking information and and the idea of a women's art school interest's me as a woman and an art student.

Evaluate the article
The intro makes sense and is straight to the point.

When it comes to the history of the school a lot of the information is really basic, I think it would be nice to have more information about the school's achievements and achievements of students and professors. I also noticed a pretty large block quote in the middle of the text that could be potentially paraphrased since that's Wikipedia's policy.

"Nina de Angeli Walls wrote,

As Sartain's career illustrates, art schools conferred professional status in a cultural field once dominated by men. Women artists used formal schooling to counter the accusation of amateurism frequently leveled at them. Nineteenth century design schools were the first institutions to offer professional certification for women in such careers as art education, fabric design, or magazine illustration; hence, the schools opened unprecedented paths to female economic independence." That's the quote in question. There doesn't seem to be a lot of conversation happening on the talk pages either.

The overall tone seems to be formal and unbiased. The the quality of the writing seems to be formal and organized for the amount of information provided. Over all I think there has to be more information about this, and it would be great to add to the page.

I'm new to this, so please don't take anything as a negative tone, as this is all in good faith.
