When you drive past landscapes while on a road trip, sometimes no one puts in much thought into the beauty because it's there and the idea of it disappearing never comes…

abstracted from reality is my favorite thing in art and in my opinion shows creativity. When I was back in elementary school I always dreaded art assignments or activities that required precision and rigid step by step directions. Blame it on my caregiver 's permissive parenting style but, I liked to do things independently. Following teacher’s direction in art, frustrated me when the final product didn 't look exactly like the teachers. It made me hate art. Much later in high school, I learned…

Nudity and Naked, Where is the Art? My Disclaimer: This article contains images of the human form that some consider graphic and may be inappropriate viewing for a workplace setting. If a piece of art is displayed that contain nudity, then what is that thin line between the types of arts where nudity is allowed, and the one where it is censored. To answer this question, we need to understand the difference between art and pornography. The differences Nudity, or nakedness, is the state of…
