Do you like art?

Is it ok to like to look at nude art?

  • I'm 13, but the body is beautiful. It's something that is a living art itself. I like looking at nude art and it's reasons but is that sick and wrong, for my age at least. I mean I don't like looking at nude men, but since I'm a female I'm fine with a nude woman's body, I like it, but it's not like I like it as a lesbian type of way. I just feel odd looking at it because even if I love drawing and painting and art, adults will look at me like I'm sick and wrong or I'm being raised wrong, what do I do?

  • Answer:

    Don't worry. It is a simple fact of reality that the human form, and especially the female form, is one of the most beautiful things in nature. Even Victorian people has nude Greek and Roman statues in their gardens, and they were as prudish as prudish gets!!!

Yes, we're all human.

It's just a body. We all have them. Pretending we don't, or that there's nothing under our clothes is childish. Appreciating art comes with maturity and an open mind. As for drawing it, draw what you want. Does your drawing hurt anyone? No! If people object, remind them that the same amendment protecting your art is protecting their criticism.

Sometimes art is the only exception. There's nothing wrong with it, its living work, and what the artist wanted was to look at it. As long as no on looks at it in any sexual way.

The fact that you can look at the art with a sense of maturity should make adults realize there is nothing wrong, but of course logic is sometimes lost on people. Don't worry about it. You are an artist, and artists often draw nudes to learn! Do not let judgement from others stifle your creativity. Because for many, drawing nudes is essential to learning proportions. And besides, people at your age start to become more curious sexually anyway, so looking at those images are not too uncommon, although you are doing it for a less common reason. If adults are freaking out it is cause they are concerned your "raging hormones" are responsible and not your thirst for knowledge. Just explain yourself as you did to us and you should be fine. :)

Hey don't worry about it its the appreciation for good art and the human body. I too like to look at naked art especially those of beautiful women. I am totally not interested in women. Besides am happily married and not interested in my own sex that way. People who think you are weird don't understand and are one sided to be honest. Go ahead and enjoy art and don't be afraid!!. Cute pic! lol Good luck.

you're right the body is beautiful. everyone is different and that is why the human form can also be classed as art. if you're serious about wanting to be an artist, take no mind to what others think. you're a normal healthy teenager who is also curious about what your body may look like some day. when you do to something like that, take a sketch book, some pencils and an open mind and before you know you'll have people around looking at your work and know that you are the next great artist to yet be discovered. most of all, be confident about yourself and show them that you are an aspiring artist not just a giggling 13 year old kid. enjoy the art world, art comes in many forms.

Art is not porn, it's okay to look at it, and it is perfectly normal. I mean, i'm sure you wouldn't really like staring at paintings of naked men. It's like a little girl staring at a pretty princess, she's not gonna wanna stare st the handsome knight in shining armor. NO I am not lesbian.
