                The "Race and Gender Criticism," articale was about the conflicts women had, specifically addressing Black African American women. From this article I have came up with my own thoughts of why this issue occured. For instance, I believe these actions came about due to slavery and racist interations from the past. I agree that this issue is an huge conflict for African American women. This is extrmely unfair, because everyone should be able to express feelings and display their artwork publicly. As mentioned before, I think that art is very important and this article discussed very usable information.

Throughout my life I have had many art experiences. Art was a huge subject in my grammer school. An art experiecnce I really enjoyed, was when I was in sixth grade and my class made a piggy back made of balloons, newpaper, and paper mache. This was an great opportunity for me as a young child. The piggy bank was great, I actually used it. I added graphics and paintings to my piggy bank, and made it more presentable.
