  Would you pose naked for a drawing class in your town?

The pay is not particularly good, say $50 for three hours, but you know the class is serious artists, art students, or at least people legitimately trying. You have no control over the finished drawings- they might be hung publicly or sold, or they might be thrown away. Because it's an art class, they are interested in all body types. Assume you are able to hold a pose.

19Yes, I would actively like to do that.
10I wouldn't mind, but only if it was convenient.
12I wouldn't really like to, but might as a favor.
35I would actively not want to do that.
8Maybe for the novelty, but not as a commitment.
1Maybe if the class was gender divided.
2Only if I knew people in the class.
4Only if I didn't know people in the class.
11The money is an issue (yes, if I needed it, or no, it's too little, etc.)
33The money is not a real factor in the question.

I did that! It was a blast! Then I had sex with the instructor and his wife.

I have always wanted to, but been too scared of getting rejected in a particularly humiliating manner (no, we don't draw fat women) to try.

My ex-husband asked me to do that back when he was taking a life drawing class, but I'm much too modest. I can't imagine being under such scrutiny, even if I loved my body. Besides, I'm always cold, so it would have to be about 95 degrees in the room for me to be comfortable!

No, thanks... I'm easily embarrassed and, more importantly, I'd be bored to tears trying to hold a pose -- I can barely tolerate people photographing me and even that took an awful lot (I didn't use to let people take pictures of me). Not knowing what the end use of the pictures might be is also an issue... interestingly enough, it bugs me more that they might end up in a museum because the artist turned out to be good/famous than almost anything else. (Go figure! *smile* )

karmakat, was there a class of students painting you while you had sex with the instructor and his wife?

Bill--no, the sex was after the class and after a couple of bottles of wine. But what a cool idea!

Only if I can do something for those three hours, such as read a book. Otherwise, $50 isn't nearly enough for me to sit still for that long.

If the rest of the class was nude, I'd have no problem w/it, otherwise I'd be a little hesitant.

Nope, not worth it. I might do it for significantly more money, or as a favor.

I'd skip it, mostly as a favor to the people who'd have to stare at me for three hours...

I would like to do it, but I'm not sure I would make the time. I would be more likely to if it were a favor to friends, and if it were convenient.

posted 8-Jun-1999 6:23pm  

If someone asked me, I probably would. I'd be more likely to if it was at a convenient time and date than one I would have to work at being there for, though. With clothes or without is pretty irrelevant, provided it's not in public (if a painting of me is confiscated, it doesn't inconvenience me like me being arrested would) and the space (and pose!) is comfortable.

You know the Norse Vikings believed that hell was actually freezing cold, so for all we know they're skating around down there right now *wicked grin*

Anyway...those Norse Vikings also believed they looked like studs in those ridiculous horned helmets! :)

Well if you disagreed you would be chopped in half, so by a process of elimination they probably *did* look like studs ;)

We are brought into this world naked and I see nothing wrong with posing nude. I would even do it for free.

I'm currently (OK not at the immediate moment - just recent and future off time) modeling naked & mostly naked. A local band want's to project me on a scrim in front of the band while they play.
(They're gonna edit it so that my dangly bits don't dangle at the audience.) I've had people I've never met wander through while this is going on and didn't feel uncomfortable.

Posing nude is something I would enjoy doing. It would help increase my self confidence and make me feel more comfortable with my body. I do not see this in sexual terms. It would have to be simple figure drawing or painting; nothing vulgar or unprofessional.

I like art and enjoy figure drawing. The nude human body is beautiful and I have worked as an art model.

Already done it, for three different artists, but always one-to-one, never a class situation. I enjoyed the feeling of helping to create art enormously. I always enjoy pushing my boundaries, so I would very much like to try posing in a class or group situation next, as I think this is the next level of challenge.

Nude modeling is something I always wanted to do. I would not have any trouble being in front of one person nude but might be a little nervous in front of a class but would still do it. If your in south Florida and need a male model let me know.

No. They did not. They did not have such helmets. It is a myth.

Moreover, in Europe we have always said that Finland will win the European Song Contest when Hell freezes over, and now they have won, so now Hell has definitely frozen over. You should call an art school right now.

If hell has actually frozen over...Albert Gore will only use that as another lame excuse to do another lame global warming movie.

But if Hell has not frozen over Al Gore would have said "Hell has been around for ever, it has not frozen over. Global warming."

Yes. Al Gore is Satan, and Hell is cold like the vikings believed. The reason Al Gore is against global warming, is because it makes Hell be warmer. Hell is frozen over. Are you gonna call an art class or are you gonna call an art class?
