"Race and Gender Criticism" in Art
I really think that every body's voice and point of view should be equally heard. But what ticks me off is when a group discriminates, but when a different group does something similar, it is not okay and they get upset or sue. Things should be equal, I agree but it should ALLWAYS be equal. In the art exhibit mentioned in the passage, there was only a few woman in a group of artists while most were white males, however, there shouldn't be any an all women exhibit or an all colored exhibit either.
My "First" Real Art Experience
My very first art experience was probably the first day in kindergarden where the teacher probably gave us a sheet to color. But what really stands out as my first complex art was in kindergarden where we were forced to write a short story. It is a school wide competition in my elementary school called the Young Authors. My story was about a day with some imaginary friends. I still have the book somewhere buried in my bookshelf. I won that year, and the next year, and the next year, and the next year with a similar story until the school noticed I was using the same outline for my book and did not pick me as a winner in 5th grade. Probably because my 5th grade teacher hated me, I wouldn't be surprised if she was the one that told on me.
