In race and gender criticism art was the undergoing intense scrutiny on the basis of critereia that are bew to art criricism.The issue is that women artists and artists of color have been marginalized by the whit,male-dominated western art establishmentand their humanity trivalized or oppressed through art.A major problem was racial and gender stereotyping,rather than the recognition of full humanity of those without political power. Another problem was the low value place on work of women and people of color in the west. Race and gender criticism effected the whole art world and the tradition.

What was the biggest problem in race and gender criticism?

The very first art experience I remember having was painting at school. I was in kindergarten and i was 4 years old at the time. I painted a picture of a dinosaur because ,I really liked dinosaurs and they were fun to me. My teacher thought my painting was the best in the class she even posted it in the main office for everybody to see. I was so proud of myself i went home and told my whole family, I was so excited, I was thinking of being an artist one day. That painting of my dinosaur was the best painting I ever made in my life and that's why it was my best experience in art.
