All about nudes

That morning we discussed nude paintings in class, I was late that morning, so when I arrived I started too stare at the blackboard were nude paintings were projected. I expected that we might discuss something like this in class so I was not that shocked when I entered the room.
Back When I was a kid I honestly never perceived nude paintings as art, I just saw them as tools that should feed my imagination as a child in a very sexual manner.
Its very embarrassing to say this but this is the truth I never really cared about where it came from, if it is from the western culture or from the eastern culture or what is the difference between the two and why they are naked. All I know is that they are there naked and they are posing so that I would be able to satisfy my manly needs.

So I sat back and listened to the discussion and I found out things about all of those nude paintings I used to only see as tools for the sexual satisfaction of man. Though one of my beliefs about them was true, that they are there to somehow to satisfy the male desires. I also learned the difference with western and an eastern nude, though they have some similar elements like the undressed woman but one of their differences is that the western nude’s pose is projected towards the direction of the spectator and not towards her partner, as compared to the eastern painting the woman projects towards her partner and showing love and attraction to his partner, completely ignoring the spectators of the painting.
When I got home I got a call from my auntie who lives in the US we talked about our visit there this December and she mentioned about taking us to museum’s and galleries since we’ve already been all over the place already. Well I said yes and told her that I have art class and that going to these museums would be good so that I can showcase to them what I have learned in my art subject.
