PROMPTS
1. You Are the Activist! As a consequence of the sexual revolution, depictions of human sexuality and
the nude body have become more common in artwork. Pick one of the two starting lines below and
complete a Letter to the Editor of your local newspaper that stakes out the position described in the
first sentence. Your letter should identify two pieces of art you encountered in this course to help you

immoral behavior among this age. It means that the art cannot
teach moral values in our society, and so, they need control.
