Quite some time ago solosater introduced a challenge called Tasteful Nudes. Her whole purpose in it was basically to try to open some minds about nudity in art and show that it could be done without being vulgar and distasteful. A great many people (including myself) applauded her efforts, many people did some absolutely beautiful works of art to enter the challenge and I don't recall a single one that wouldn't fall under the category of tasteful. There were definitly critics though and solo felt she had to cut the challenge short due to a number of people feeling the sudden inundation of nudes in the gallery may be seen by children who shouldn't see them. I suppose I do see the point of that but I really didn't feel any of those pictures were harmful or in any way pornographic. |

Thank you for that. It was well said, and helped me understand the history. I would hope that the negative and hurtful comments don't interfere with the creativity and beauty we see here. |

Dragon's summarizing is spot on. I'd just like to add my own pov-- |

I totally agree with Dragon: we have ways to make grievances without hurt or offend people. I'm amazed when I see how much some people feel hurted by innocent drawing, but I understand that culture and sensitivity vary from a person to another, from a Country to another. |

Thank you all for so kindly supporting me, I didn't think I would ever get so hurted by a comment, it didn't offend me so much the first comment from RIKU, but felt terrible at the other comment to the point that I couldn't even stop and think. This because the language of the comment told me that the person is not too young, is probably american or however surely not from a Muslim Country, it told me many things and among this the accusation which i received as nasty, from a person that doesn't have the "good" intention that Qsilv thinks, she didn't mean well at all, and her excuse of "objectifying " |

I'd be extremely curious if this looks like i'm objectifying men: http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=100414 . |

I love clorophilla's gentle wise words, and Shanley's humor... |

Right you are, Qsilv, with each of those two affirtmations. The main objection to Danila's drawing was the fact that the artist used her talent for something 'rather wrong', instead of using it in a 'good way'. Therefore, the moral issue was raised in the matter (one more point for the 'different education' hypothesis). I tend to believe art is rather a way of expressing our personality, rather than a perpetuum choice between educating others and making ourselves 'puttable- on-walls '. Surely, study-cases and abstract art may not make aything obvious about the artist at a first glance, but as far as I'm able to understand this, the real journey is in the inside, either the inside may be regarded as soul or mind. |

THANKS SHANLEY, IT'S THE MORAL ISSUE THE ONE THAT HURTED ME. PERCEIVING IT AS SO UNJUST, OF COURSE MORALITY CHANGES ACCORDING TO CULTURE, TO CENTURIES, IF WE THINK OF WHAT WAS CONSIDERED IMMORAL IN THE 12TH CENTURY RATHER THAN THE 17TH OR 18TH CENTURIES..WE COULD GO ON FOREVER. I BELIEVE FOR WHAT IS MY CONCERN THAT THIS AS MANY OTHER FORM OF ART, IF NOT ALL, ARE THE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL EXPRESSION OF OUR "INNER" PART, WHICH CAN TOUCH MANY OTHERS IN A WAY OR ANOTHER, BUT HERE AGAIN WE COULD GO ON FOREVER. THANKS FOR YOU HUMOR WHICH IS GIVING THE RIGHT COLOR TO THIS :BLACK AND WHITE (SOME GRAY) PICTURE ISSUE!!!!! |

Would this have been shocking had it been drawn in a flesh colour, rather than blue stone? http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=54031 |
