This so called ‘teacher’ trying to force his students to do this is not trying to inspire art, he is trying to dominate his students and leer at the female body, and possibly also the male body.

This is another sad example of a perverse person in a position of power taking advantage of people, and if anyone on the faculty or board knew about this and didn’t stop it they are just as guilty.

Regardless of the girl’s or mother’s reasons for going against this, it still brings to light this man’s depravity. You are not creating art if you are making someone uncomfortable about such, you are killing it.

This right here…Quote: He revealed that the test will involve 20 students stripping down, including himself, in a candlelit room. He called it a performance of the self. “It’s a standard canvas for performance art and body art. It is very controlled.” :Unquote…indicates to me that this isn’t art, but rather a pervert trying to be as close to what he desires without getting in trouble with the law.

In basic psychology, he is essentially too afraid to act on his desires because he is still afraid of authority figures punishing him, but not so much that he won’t seek duplicitous ways of experiencing the gratification he seeks.

The girl knew what she was doing. The mom needs to get over herself.
