Ari's View
By Ariel DaWintre
I am wondering when do we draw the line at what is art and what is porn. I have in the museum many wonderful statues or paintings that I would never consider porn. But clearly many works of art are naked. I love the statue of David yet the man is entirely naked. I would not for one moment consider it vulgar porn. I think if we start associating drawings, paintings or sculptures with porn then we lose the freedom of speech and expression.

I personally associate porn with real adults taking advantage of children, or photographs of children in unnatural poses. I think porn is more of innocents being taken or exploited in situations where we know the child is a real person. Often in art it is the creators imagination.
