'Artistic Nudity\r'

' cunningistryistic censoring is the d take infall of extravagantly nurture art thrash. The classroom is being subjected to rules which destine the subject of students’ work. Censorship creates a round-eyed and uneducated society, which in turn produces to a greater extent and to a greater extent(prenominal) generations of naive children. When a psyche puts their art proscribed in the ordinary to be judged, just that should happen. It should not be covered or hidden, censored or discarded. Art is impractically criticized based on its subject. It should be looked at as one soul’s opinion, not a hu populacekind’s fear.You atomic number 18 lying naked, capable and vulnerable on a hard, uncushioned woody floor. Your innermost feelings and opinions argon painted step forward for the world to see; you can do nothing except accept the merciless opinions of others. Exposing yourself to the usual places an indescribable pit in your stomach. It puts you i n the most defenseless of positions. Your beliefs be too radical. In turn, the common man suppresses them, and your vulnerability increases. You be shut down, pushed deflection and hidden in a public press where you will sit to collect dust.Your opinions atomic number 18 there with you. They argon unwanted by the a vogueside world, and therefore, censored. Did you hear that dirty raillery just come out of your verbalise? It was appalling; your mother would be disgraced of you. Censored. What were you thinking? energy should be censored. Nothing should sit pushed aside. It should all be out for the world to see, and to criticize. Your opinions, your artistic opinions, put into a tangible form should n ever, ever be hidden. Censorship is best defined as when an individual is forced to â€Å"suppress their own values, attitudes and beliefs. (Anderson and Garoian, 1996). It is the black rectangle that covers nudity, the obnoxious bleep that blocks out profanities and the curt ain that discloses art work. In tall crop classrooms, the issue of art censorship has shape increasingly prevalent in the last ten years. (Kushner, 1999). Educators, high school staff members and community critics have begun to go a railway line segregating what is acceptable and what is not. That line is continually getting tighter, intend the direct of acceptability is becoming more and more strict.Technology, warfargon, politics and drug use are all maturing; with this, comes the maturity of high school students’ opinions. Then, in turn, comes advancing art: which legion(predicate) older (and often more conservative) mountain find shocking or offending. Art is created to appeal to or offend contrary interest groups. Artists intentionally compose their pieces to â€Å" scrap the assumptions of the audience [and] provoke reaction and discussion. ” (Anderson and Garoian, 1996). soreness is the one and only reason to ever create a piece of art.If, for whatev er reason, this provocation is censored, it depletes the entire artistic context of a work of art. Art without meaning is simply decoration. In the classroom, suppression is forcing art to fit into a square box, â€Å" desolate of all values. ” (Garoian and Anderson, 1996). Radical viewpoints are by far the most effective way for an artist to gain attention from an audience. When these viewpoints are unable to be viewed, mass are no longer attracted to art. Censorship eliminates public interest in art and increases the naiveness of a society.All over the country and more so all over the world, people are afraid of new ideas. They are afraid of encountering real, exposed-to-the-bone artistic nudity. This fear embeds itself in our entire culture, forcing censors to eliminate things we supposedly take on’t want to see. Simply eliminating things that are different creates a very unobjectionable society. Without being exposed to new things, we become victims of the cen sors, and that is never a good thing. So as the future progresses, my art work will continue to push sometime(prenominal) the black censor bar.\r\n'
