If making art or art classes were banned from when I was born, I don't think "art-banned-amanda" would know that she was a different person than "art-exposed-amanda" is today. But I know now that if I was never able to make art or take art classes or be exposed to any type of art I would be so much less creative than I am today, and I wouldn't appreciate or see the beauty in things.
If making art and taking art classes was banned right now at this moment I would be very upset. Making art is a great way to express feelings and it's something I enjoy to do. It'd be like taking a piece of me away from myself. Things would definitely be different in my life and I think I wouldn't be as happy as a person that I am now, taking photography and doing other artistic things in my life.
I like your point that the time in which the prohibition occurs is important. I like the thought process here.
