I believe that race and gender have little to nothing to do with  an art work. Paintings don't say "Oh i was painted by a black female" or "Hey my creator isn't white". If paintings were judged by race and/or gender many painters would not contribute to todays art. Jacob Lawrence is a prime example of a famous african-american artist who published several books before his death in october of 2000. Do you think that the criticism  against african-american art can be traced back to the actual content of most african-american art?
Art obviously reflects the artists social standing in life, so therefore should the artworks be judged separately due to design and craftsmanship?

Application- What exactly is the photo depicting? Is the heard of animals at the bottom wild or domestic?

Understanding- From what i can tell it looks like a drawing of the landscape with the wild animals in the bottom right and people in the top left.

Knowledge- Painted on rock, most likely in the ice age or soon after. Most likely painted using berry juice/pigments.

My first expirience in an art class was the second week of 6th grade when we did blow art. Basically we dropped some bplack paint on a piece of paper and blew it in all directions. By the end of the class half of my class mates were doubled with headaches and all of us were a little light headed. my own work looked a little like the nickelodean logo all splattered like. The art teacher was fired after that class for making us do a potentially dangerouse art project so from there the class was much simplier.
