Response to Nipple Jesus


By reading the text, I think Dave is a tough guy. He is also hardworking.

Dave’s opinions of the “Nipple Jesus” painting changed several times. At first,  Dave observes the artwork from a distance. He enjoyed the artwork and did not find any strange about the painting.  “ So the first thing I thought was, bloody hell, that’s a good picture. Because it makes you think, and I don’t often think about things like that”.  After knowing that the artwork is pornographic, his opinion changed. Dave feels disgusting about the painting. However, Dave’s opinion changed again after meeting the artist and her family. The effort Martha put into the artwork attracted Dave. The more he looks the artwork, the more he likes it.  Dave is also a sensitive guy.

We can interpret artwork in different ways. There is no one way is better than another. However, if the purpose of artist is misunderstood by people, what he or she going to do?
