NUDITY: Art or Pornography?

[~:.Winter R0se.:~]

I remember this one when I was still in college when our English 1 instructor ask the whole section to wrote a position paper regarding this topic.We were 38 in class.37 agrees on the argument that nudity is a form of pornography these days.it came to my great surprise to know that i'm the only one standing in the middle of the class thinking that nudity is a form of art in every way...hahahaha

if you're going to include yourself in this debate,i just wanted to require everybody on this ONLY RULE:

NEVER,EVER ANSWER---"IT DEPENDS" (Ex: It depends on the situation...blah..blah).... When it comes to writing a good position paper, you must be consistent and firm.Stand for what you are fighting for....

So..What do you think? NUDITY: ART or PORNOGRAPHY?

[Paradoxymoron]

Awch... It depends on the onlookers is the best answer. But since it's not permitted that kind of question, I think it's.., teka lang po yung sagot ko a. Busy p kasi s school, midterms namin, sumaglit lang akong mag-online dito.. hehe bitin/.

Nudity.. For me its an ART. Cause every curve, every angle, a human's body is worth worshiping. I remember a picture wherein nude pregnant women are painted in the most amazing way I have ever seen. The only thing that makes Nudity a form of pornography is when you look at it in lustful ways. That's why they also call liberated people, flirt, lustful etc.
I'm a woman, it may not look nice but this is my opinion.

and if youre going to ask me, my views hasnt changed at all.i would still say that nudity is an art.religion is the best & the strongest point of this argument.

another strong point is culture.in india, a large population (from ancient times up to present) recognize the power of sutra. we all know, kamasutra and the contents of this book. believe it or not, people in india, practice, respect and accepted it as a part of their tradition.they even conducted several studies in different place such as harvard university to translate, interpret and share everything on the book. people who dont know about india's history may find it weird, irreligious or immoral. nudity in any form has been accepted since the ancient times.in other countries, there are jobs associated with nudity that has been legalized. prostitution has been legalized in many countries way back the old times.

For me, it's an ART because our body is a form of art. Every details and curves that we have showing perfection (we're the highest class of animals) and besides God creates us in His image and likeness.. same as Periwinkle's view.

[Paradoxymoron]

Haha... wow.

It is an art, because human body is said to be patterned in God's own.
And maybe we are all familiar with Adam and Eve, and what happened whey they ate the forbidden fruit.

But it is considered pornography by many because of their culture.

That's my point.

For me..nudity-which is mere nakedness, and pornography-which is obscenity, are two different things. ;p Therefore, nudity is Art. For me. ^^

ITS AN ART. PERIOD. WHETHER PERSONAL OR PAINTED ITS AN ART... i dont want to explain because its gonna take time

[Crounos]

its an art if purposively done and evaluated through art but becomes pornography if done and evaluated lecherously...
