Post hoc ergo propter hoc?
The original is in the Academy.
When she sends a naked picture of herself than the parent can first get her fired and then sue her or get her arrested. That’s a big deal and should be handled WHEN it’s a big deal. But you can’t live your life terrified of every suspicious thing that’s just around the corner. Stop real evil, not the possibility of imagined evil.
>>>Yep. Sadly we have more than our share of them.
RIGHT ON!
I was raised loving Academy nudes. On walls, they’re art. Well, they can be. There’s some awful stuff called art, too. But the academy figures from the late 19th century were a large part of my reading as a child, and I grew up in museums falling in love with the sculptures of Lorado Taft.

Though statues don’t HAVE to be of nudes.

The real question is why wasn’t he shown as the original Jewish David, circumcised?
this charter school was on its third principle too.
hope they didnt show the Sistine chapel ceiling old michangelo painted that one too
This is surprising?
Read Revelation 19; Jesus Christ comes outta the sky on horseback with a sword, and you’ve got a rabble of human armies gathered together thinking they’re gonna use tanks and guns, ships missiles and fighter planes to fight him off.
The level of stupid in this story is Romper Room stuff by comparison.
To downplay that, the Protestant Reformation eliminated the crucifix, reduced it to an abstraction, or omitted or partly obscured the nudity of the crucified Christ. More broadly, Protestants were hostile toward even Christian art in churches. Taken to its logical conclusion, this resulted in a comprehensive preference for plainness in church architecture, in services and prayer, and in personal manners. Something of the same thing happened in Islam, with the conquering desert tribes destroying or painting over Christian art and rejecting any depiction of the human form.
I think Donatello's statue of a nude David was the first nude sculpture in hundreds of years, at least in Western Christendom.
Hard to study ancient Greek art if all depictions of nudity must be avoided.
More broadly, of course, the convention is to depart from scripture and to depict the crucified Christ with a loin cloth or other covering for modesty's sake, but the trend in the Renaissance was to reduce the size of such covering while depicting Christ's body as otherwise nude and with as much realism as possible. And partial or complete nudity otherwise made its way into much church art in Italy during the Renaissance.
As for the school art lesson in Tallahassee, the controversy is less about nudity than the principal's apparent repeated disregard of private school policies that required parents to be notified in advance and permitted to opt kids out of such lessons. Reading between the lines, the school principal went to the news media to try to pose as the victim of an ignorant, narrow-minded school board and parents.
Not surprised to hear that about Michelangelo. Some people were scandalized by the nudes in his frescoes. Not to mention the statue of David.
Apparently the usual practice for Roman crucifixion was to strip the person to be executed naked. They wanted the punishment to be humiliating as well as extremely painful. But it’s possible that they made an exception in Judaea because of Jewish sensibilities—I don’t know if there is specific evidence for how crucifixions were carried out in Judaea.
Supposedly, Jewish authorities sometimes used nakedness as punishment. When temple guards fell asleep on duty, they were liable to be being beaten, stripped, and sent home naked as punishment.
That could be seen as giving the Israelites (descended from Shem) the right to conquer the land of Canaan. But why Ham? The Egyptians were supposed to be descended from Ham. Had the Israelites observed Egyptian peasants working naked? (They are sometimes shown like that in Egyptian tomb paintings.)
And of course Moses later forbade the Israelites from eating ham. Coincidence?
Well, although denied by Kosher law to observant Jews, warm naked slices of ham are good enough on the plate, but, if cold and sliced thin, they gain by being put between two slices of rye for clothing, with the accompaniment of Swiss cheese, sliced pickle, spicy brown mustard, and perhaps some lettuce.
Oh well, given the noon hour, I guess my mind has wandered off to what the art of the sandwich might offer to naked ham for the sake of lunch.
It’s great art to anyone, of any age, who isn’t a retard.
