Love this video but can you do it on a relief sculpture that is not a nude. Asking for all teachers, PLEASE

[@daniellescotland-nmefacult8312]

Yes! Literally this!

[@celinaregister2404]

Same!!!! Middle school teacher here! I would love to use this, but can't :(

[@MichaelT83310]

Unfortunately I feel like most art at this time features nudity

[@moiradoman3564]

Same I wish I could show my students but it's not worth it

[@moiradoman3564]

So many other relief sculptures you could have chosen!

[@vinoandvernici]

Ughhhh I was so excited until there was a nude sculpture and talking about erotica. Can't use this for my elementary students :(

[@Ms.Sullivan-mt7uh]

Great Video ! But why would you choose a nude sculpture!

[@PatriciaDenuzzio]

Was going to show this to my HS Art students...until the boob... Great video... but not school approved.

Getty: Relief sculpture won’t get views; unless, we make remind people about lust and sexual intent. Preferably, a woman lusting for a dragon. #edgy #allgasnobrakes #clickbait #forthelulz #umadteachers #rebelwithoutacause
