Depictions of nudity

Casual sex is a very controversial topic. Many view casual sex as psychologically damaging, harmful to society, and even dangerous. But these critics fail to acknowledge the benefits of casual sex, especially from the perspective of women. In the essay, I will argue that women should have casual sex because it is ultimately empowering because it increases confidence, emotional stability, and releases inhibition. Casual sex allows women to be in control of their own sexuality and free from…

As the virtual world begins to expand in our current age of technology, we are faced with moral dilemmas. Do our decisions and actions in the virtual world lead to consequences in reality? It is a question where a line is drawn between our reality and virtual selves. Virtual murder is common among the most popular and widely distributed video games. Most consumers wouldn’t think twice about the questionability of murder in video games. Adapting this argument to virtual pedophelia, however, leads…

naked, simply because they had similar social freedoms as men. This idea of adultery being the norm, was expanded to the Etruscans raising children communally, because there was no way of knowing who a child’s father was. In general, the Greek depiction of the Etruscans does not have much archeological basis, but it is reasonable to see how the Greeks reached these conclusions from their point of…

rational thought and mathematics was a common theme of the Late Classical Period, and it can be identified in both Praxiteles’ Aphrodite of Knidos and in Lysippo’s Weary Herakles. Both of these works brought controversy due to the use of sexualized nudity, and the humanization of a Greek god. The Aphrodite of Knidos by Praxiteles was one of the first, if not the first, nude statue of a woman. The goddess depicted in the sculpture is shown taking off her garment and getting ready to step into…

Below is information on FERPA, SOX, CIPA and COPPA that should be maintained with compliance. FERPA, Family Education Rights and…

yet excuses their expression in similar ways. One work is made to express the process of art creation, and another is a social work made to speak up for feminism. To show this meaning however, both works use rather vile and strange tactics. They use nudity and sexual references as well as some gore, and perhaps creepiness, to express their meanings. This, of course, gave them their fair share of controversy. Womanhouse is more related to the culture of its time of creation, and is making jabs at…

Humanism paintings and sculptures showcased humans in a superficial light and showcased their flawlessness. Humanism sculptures looked realistic and nudity was common. Gods were portrayed as perfect human beings, young and beautiful. Michelangelo’s sculpture of David acts is a great example for the portrayal of flawlessness. The sculpture of David was a continuation of the work from a man named Agostino…

Mosaics had originally been used in the Roman Empire to cover floors and walls of homes. This practice now continued in Christian buildings but with different subjects of depiction: "the old geometrical designs, interweaving patterns, animal figures and scenes from everyday life or mythology were replaced by symbolic representations of religious history..." (Palanque 49-49). An example of the transition from mythology towards biblical figures and scenes can be seen in the mausoleum of Saint…

One of the best films of 2014, "Pale Moon" is also a great specimen of contemporary Japanese cinema. Based on the novel "Kami no Tsuki" by Mitsuyo Kakuta, the film tells the story of Rika Umezawa, a timid woman in her forties, who lives with her husband, although they do not have any children. She works part-time at a bank doing house calls to sell bonds and other banking products and, in general, lives an utterly conventional life. However, once she convinces Kozo Hirabayashi, a slightly…

Egypt was a civilization where art depictions come mostly from their religion. Sculptures were the benefit of the divine or royal kings, queens, gods, goddesses and pharaohs due to the fact that they were worshiped and honored. The title of the art that I was interested in was the…
