I wonder if people would be so kind as to translate when they decide to randomly use a foreign (or in this case dead) language. It doesn’t bother me that you use it, it’s just nice to be able to follow the conversation.
When did she say this?
I’ve never seen a better example of circular reasoning!
I’d have to ask why we wear clothing at all then? I think the fig leaf was adorned for a reason. If we can take it off in front of a class room of people and call it art, why don’t we uncloth all of the students in the class room and be surrounded by art?
To the extent that this is intended to include my prior posts, it is incorrect under my understanding of the common definition of “shows.”
I am sorry, but please explain to me who these folks are that view pornography for pleasure but are not tempted to sexual sin? What is the pleasure then?
This is called inference. I was inferring why the forum rules exist (namely, to prevent something negative from happening).
For warmth. Notice that people in hot countries don’t wear very many clothes, and their young children often run around stark naked.
No, the model isn’t the art. The drawings that are made from the model are the art.
If I want to admire God’s creation represented in female body, I will happily frequent our nearby Go-Go bar. Trust me, some of the most beautiful examples of curves and surfaces are there. For some reason I dont believe that my pastor would like that though.It’s not Glamour magazine; it’s art class. The whole point is to learn how to draw every kind of person; not just the stereotype “beautiful” people. You probably would get the job, if you wanted it - assuming you can hold your poses for the required length of time.
Two cents:
No, I think it’s you, and everyone who thinks that “nude” = “come hither” who are missing the point.
Different strokes for different folks? How you’re raised has bearing on it along with it, cultural differences also. The Swedish have no issues about nudity in the Saunas where as I walked in mumified in towels! (So in that instance, my own insecurity was the problem, not theirs!)
I agree. I’d say there are a lot of people who fail to appreciate how much their views are shaped by their personal experience, culture, family, etc. Then they insist their experience should trump everyone else’s experience, and they demand everyone else mimic their reactions to the naked body. Maybe that’s what self esteem means.
So the ages old huge oil painting of the Madonna breast feeding the baby Jesus with breast exposed and nipple showing is there for what reason?
So the ages old huge oil painting of the Madonna breast feeding the baby Jesus with breast exposed and nipple showing is there for what reason? We can ban this as well because the artist used a model.
To borrow from Bill Hicks, that sounds like every commerical I’ve ever watched on TV!
I reckon it’s between the artist and the model? I wasn’t born wearing a dinner suit and the photo my Mother has of me from that moment is of me in the buck! I don’t think I gave written consent at the time though…!
