The article entitled "Race and Gender Criticism" helped support the fact that race and gender have always played a big issue in society. Every human has a creative impulse that allows them to create some form of art, regardless of their gender, race, or beliefs. In the article they speak women not being taken seriously when it comes to art. Women were being treated as a object rather than a subject in art works. Often the work done by a different gender or race is seen as "sexist", "racist", and "stereotypical". I believe that these things are something we as a society must go through to learn from the mistakes made in the past. This might be wrong but, as a growing society we must make changes for the best and move on. We learn from those mistakes, and are becoming much more accepting to people of different backgrounds and cultures through one common thing, art.
