Art_&_Censorship

Art & Censorship Art has been around as long as imagination. There has been much controversy over art; some controversy has come up with artist such as Sally Mann and Andres Serrano’s. The public, along with legislators, cannot agree on what art is, what kind of art should be funded, and what art should be censored (if at all). The problem is that one person’s opinions cannot decided on what art is and if it should be censored. If art should ever be censored for any reason, it should be only to those not old enough to appreciate the true meaning and beauty of art. The first question is…what is art' No one person can ever really define art within a set of guidelines. Art is whatever you want it to be, it is an expression, one person’s opinions, art has been around since imagination, it is the story of a culture. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, “art, in all its forms, feeds and nurtures the soul of a society; provokes thought and debate; causes critical thinking; and fosters understanding of things foreign to our own immediate world.
