Censoring famous art can be fun
Censorship, according to vocabulary.com, is blocking something from being read,
heard, or seen. Working abroad in a school library requires me to
censor some of the books in the library.
I’m not sure how I feel about
censorship because, to be honest, I don’t think people should be told what they
can and can’t read. However, I don’t believe a 12-year-old should read an
erotica novel by Zane either. I guess it’s a personal thing. If you want to
read a book, then read a book. If you don’t want to read a book, then don’t read a book. Should books
about how to make bombs be available to the public? How about books that spew
racism and misogynism? Censorship is a big can of worms I’m not willing to
debate or open. I read what I want and I don’t want anyone telling me what I can
and can’t read.
Censoring books have become my
FAVORITE thing to do on my job!!! Books about art are FULL of naked people and
I LOVE coloring clothes on those people. I’ve defaced some famous art and am
always looking at books to see if I can draw clothes on some man or woman or baby. I won’t
lie, it makes me smile when I get out that permanent black marker and draw a dress or pair of pants or a
onesie on a picture.
I’m smiling while I type this blog cause I
love drawing clothes on naked people that much!! The students that come across some
of these pictures are (of course) more childish than me, but not that much. I
can’t laugh and giggle with them when they see famous naked pictures, but I laugh at their reactions after they leave. It’s hilarious to
see them get embarrassed at a piece of world-famous art that hasn’t been censored.
I try to catch all the famous naked art in books I can
before they see it but sometimes I miss them. If I miss them the students
will bring it to my attention and I will tend to the censoring when I can. At one point in my career, I refused to censor art, now I look forward to it.
Here
are some famous pieces I’ve had to censor. And just know I was loving every
minute I was drawing clothes on the pictures. I’m not that good, but I think I'll get better as time goes by. Enjoy and know that I’m smiling the entire time I’m covering
their famous naked bodies!!! You may even recognize some of these paintings. By the way, some of these clothes were drawn on the pictures before I got to them, and that made me sad. I'll be back with more!!!
