    In elementary school, art was always my favorite class and I had it every year from K-5th grade. I was brought to disappointment when I reached middle school and budget cuts made art classes only accessible to eighth grade students. Once I got to high school, one teacher only taught art classes and most students got into the class based off seniority. It is such a shame that art classes have been getting cut at such a young age. Currently in 2015, most elementary schools stopped offering art classes. Art provides students starting at a young age to draw, craft, analyze, and show their own creativity and personality. Art in the 21st century, emerges a variety of things such as the latest electronic technologies, paintings, new concepts of handcrafts, mix media, etc. The teaching of art is a form of educating history of techniques and strategies of previous artist as well as developing new techniques. Art requires skills of creative thinking, patience, open-mindedness, technique, and hand motions. Art is very important for all humans to be educated on.

    In many cases, I think that men have a role in the struggle for women’s equality. The sole purpose of feminism in the first place is because of the patriarchal world we live in. Women can fight for independence and equality but it is the male dominance that will leave the most impact. If female and male both work together then our society, as a whole will change for the better. Being a feminist does not mean you have to be a female either. Men who are feminist also struggle to fight for women’s equality. In the video portraying Judy Chicago’s work, men have always had a role in women’s lives. In previous centuries, women who were capable of doing the male duties as well as cleaning, cooking, and taking care of children were always considered below a male’s standard. Today, thanks to the fight from both male and female, women are much more involved and appreciated in many areas of society for their hard work. Women are now running major companies, earning the most income in the family, and taking on large leadership positions. Men play the role in accepting women in being equally applicable for male roles. Females may have paved a path in society to obtain power and privilege, but the fight for equality is still an ongoing issue that both men and women struggle with.
