People tend to take off their clothes in front of the bathroom, sleep or sex. Time Out spoke to the few who undress at work. "Alexander once called to pose, I went with him. It gives me pleasure to rustle a pencil. People shy of nudity because they are embarrassed themselves. It is difficult to find a complete woman, who wants to pose.

The Art of the Nude Model Growing up, most of us are taught that nudity is inherently bad; that it is completely and absolutely taboo. Allison Conley, however, believes no such thing. Conley, a senior at Stony Brook University majoring in digital arts, has been working as a nude model since the summer of 2008, and sees no problem with taking off her clothes.
World-renowned realist whose paintings startled and impressed Lucian Freud: THE ORIGINAL, unnerving, sustained artistic achievement of Lucian Freud, who has died aged 88, had at its heart a wilful, restless personality, fired by his intelligence and attentiveness and his suspicion of method, never wanting to risk doing the same thing twice.

Christian Colleges Struggle with Their Fine Art Programs When Bob and Sandra Bowden were scouting colleges for their daughter Jennifer in the 1980s, they found that the pickings were slim. "My husband and I were looking for a Christian college with a studio art program, and it was like looking for a needle in a haystack," Ms. Bowden recalled. ..So are their programs comparable to those offered by secular institutions? One obvious difference is the attitude to the use of models in life-drawing classes. "Calvin College doesn't use nude models," said David Diephouse, chairman of the institution's art department. It is a touchy subject. By omitting traditional life drawing, some argue that Christian college students are missing out on a central tenet of traditional art training.Read More>

Life drawing meets sketchy burlesque at Stage 84 in Davie "I was thinking, straight up, 'this isn't like your standard life drawing class,'" remembers Sundquist.

Nude models help artists see the truth When it comes to her part-time modeling job, Laura Stokes has nothing to hide. Stokes, 27 of Pittsburgh, models in the nude for art students at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. In the past four years, she's posed for at least 25 different sessions.

I've never actually been to a life drawing class. For one thing, my figurative drawing skills don't extend much beyond stark stick men and for another, my more arty friends' cringe-worthy tales of afternoon sessions with Derek, the OAP with the seriously small willy who liked chit chatting about the weather and chastising anyone under thirty while sitting open legged on a stool are pretty much enough to put me off for life. Or are they? Keen to reinvent the traditional staid concepts of life drawing, London Drawing, the brainchild of artists Anne Noble-Partridge and David Price have launched The Drawing Theatre, a creative fusion of theatre and drawing Read More>

My Work: George Krause talks about his photography In his current series, Sfumato Nudes, renowned photographer George Krause combines a classical art subject with contemporary technology and a technique he devised.
His subjects are isolated from the physical world by a light box, where the reflected and direct illumination from the back creates a reversal of depth. The images are stunning life-size portraits of average men and women standing in casual stances. Some are models from life-drawing classes, many are friends, most are volunteer strangers: Read More>

What I've Learned: Ty Tyner Tyner feels that the education he received at ACC is still helping him with his job working with comic books.
"It definitely taught me a good bit about design and had a good program as far as design goes," said Tyner. "I think I grew as an artist definitely when I was there. I did some life drawing classes. At the time, I didn't think I needed them because I was like I'm a computer designer, but now that I'm doing the comic thing, I'm actually doing more painting. It actually does come back into play."
