That photographing the nude, or painting it, is art, is something that is beyond doubt. Many of the best known paintings or sculptures are from naked people and that is why the nude is considered an artistic genre.
Now, if what you are photographing are young children, and their parents do not know, what can happen is that you are very fat, and more if after taking photos you upload them to social networks, as did the nursery teacher.
It happened in Henan, China. The teacher was with her students, all boys, when she decided it would be a good idea take pictures of everyone naked. He placed them in different arrangements in the class and immortalized those moments. Then he thought it would be good to share his work and hung the images on the social network Wechat.
The parents found out by chance, when they saw the photos on the internet, and they shouted in the sky, immediately asking for explanations from those responsible for the nursery.
"I gave them a sex education class"
The teacher gave the appropriate explanations, claiming that I was giving them a sex education class and that way I wanted to show you what the meaning of life is. In addition, he explained that it was also very hot, but that to protect the privacy of the boys he sent the girls to another classroom.
This is when you drop a huge drop of sweat on your head, because let's see what separates boys and girls for their privacy if later go and hang the photos on the internet.
To the question of why he shared them on social networks, he explained that he did it because "children are very beautiful," as we read in La Razón, where you can see the photos.
"It's a pervert"
To the parents, of course, their explanations did not seem logical and the photos even less, so they communicated to the nursery officials their opinion: that it was "a pervert".
At the moment it is unknown what decisions will be made, but both the director of the center and the teacher have already apologized for what happened.
Art? Perversion?
I said it at the beginning, the nude can be perfectly art, because it is still the sign of our human nakedness, sometimes raw. Show our imperfections and, at the same time, our perfection as a human, natural body, consequence of millions of years of evolution and a few years of life in the world around us.
But this is when we want to show ourselves, expose ourselves ... not when we talk about a child who does not have the ability to decide who to show and who does not his body, or why. Sex education can be explained without undressing children (which is an excuse, because you will already tell me why you teach sex education to such young children) and as beautiful or cute as they are, a teacher cannot break the trust that parents have placed in her taking off their clothes, leaving them exposed and, to make matters worse, sharing the photos. It wouldn't be funny to me, really.
