The sketch of nude models is criticized as vulgar art, which needs to be understood and respected.

On September 14, some netizens in Weibo shared a group of class photos of President sichuan fine arts institute demonstrating students' body sketches. Originally, sharing was normal, but some netizens regarded it as "pornographic" content and exploded the pot on the Internet, which caused some netizens to have a heated debate on the topic of "whether human body sketch is reasonable". Many opponents argue fiercely and even use verbal violence against their actions, thinking that "art is hooliganism".

Body painting, as the basic skill of every art student, should be understood and respected by the public, and mannequins are also allowed and legal by the state. Body painting is a compulsory course in art colleges all over the world, but there are always some people who think nude painting is indecent and even play hooligans under the guise of art. It seems understandable that laymen watch the excitement and experts watch the doorway. The public's understanding of art is limited, but their prejudice against art is different. However, ignorance is not the cause of language violence. If you can't understand and don't support it, please respect art. All walks of life have their own doorways. We should all take a respectful attitude and further understand it.

In fact, the topic of human body sketch has been hotly debated for a long time, and today, there are still people who are biased against it. One hundred years ago, Liu Haisu, an artist, resolutely introduced mannequins to China despite the opposition of Chinese people. That was a hundred years ago, but there are still a lot of opponents today. In my opinion, this is still a cultural difference, and the aesthetic level of Chinese people needs to be improved.

In ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago, human sketch had gradually become popular. At that time, people could come to the streets with beautiful nudes at any time. In western oil paintings, we can see nudity at any time. Western countries believe that this is to show the beauty of a human body, which can reflect delicate skin and beautiful body lines. However, more than 2,000 years ago, in China, Confucian culture was popular at that time, advocating "courtesy" and observing "Three Cardinals and Five Permits". However, it is hard to imagine nude images appearing in works of art at that time. This conservative concept is rooted in today, so many people subconsciously have this "feudal" concept. But when these people attack human body sketches and use language violence against artists, why don't they also think about the "benevolence" in Confucianism? Why not try to understand and respect? "What is there makes sense", human body sketch can be said to have existed thousands of years ago, even if you don't understand it, there are reasons for its existence.

On the one hand, the differences caused by human sketch reflect the cultural differences and the lack of cultural identity of China people, on the other hand, it reminds us that the aesthetic standards of China people need to be improved. We should think about why people in many other countries are used to sketching the human body, but in China, it will cause heated debates. China people are still biased against art, and their aesthetic taste and thoughts are limited by the "beauty" floating on the Internet today. There are too many sexual hints on the Internet and too many topics related to "color", such as "connotation jokes". With more contact, the way of thinking and aesthetics have also changed. When you see the content of "revealing meat", you don't think about it and make it "obscene and dirty". In fact, for art, it is necessary to have a dialogue with the audience through the internet so that everyone can understand and feel. Only after the art is voiced again and again can people's aesthetic attitude and level be improved. Art should not exclude outsiders, take the initiative to let others know, accept it frankly, and there will be little gossip.

Public opinion comes and goes in a hurry. The controversy about human sketch this time will not make the course of human sketch banned. On the contrary, through this debate, a dialogue is formed, so that more people can understand art and sketch, and gradually accept it, so that more people can look at art rationally and soberly.
