Hi,
The American Heritage Dictionary says that Art is "The conscious production or
arrangement of sounds, colors, forms, movements or other elements in a manner
that affects the sense of beauty."
Pornography is defined as, "Pictures, writing, or other material that is
sexually explicit and sometimes equates sex with power and violence."
I'm a librarian, I just had to do that. ;o)
