How to be a nude model for an art class
It made me
stoked 
"This is one of the most exciting things Iv done. Im so glad to have the pictures. :)"
How I did it: My mom knew the art teacher at our local collage and asked for me if he needed any models.
The art teacher was very helpful in giving me ideas for different positions and was very respectful of my body and my personal space. So was the class :)
I was nervous at first and after I did it I was slightly embarrased but at the same time it was something I had thought about doing for a long time and I think that were on this earth to experience as much as we can. So if its something I enjoy why should I care what other people think?
Lessons & tips: Go and sit in!
If your nervous about not knowing what to do once you get up there I think this would be a great way to start.
Watch the professionals in action and maybe even take a few notes.
also, when I had some spare time I would practice sitting nude in my room or in the tub. You have to be able to hold positions for a very long time!
I once held a position for 50 minutes.
Also maybe you want to go to a nude beach first. That would help you get used to being naked infront of other people! I had gone to a nude beach several times before I had done nude modeling :)
Resources: call or go into your local collage(s) and find the art teacher. People are usually pretty willing to answer any questions you might have. :)

I’ve always wanted to model and be photographed. I feel that having art students draw me would give me insight as to how other people see me physically, while helping students draw the human body.

I do. Really. I’m a naturist male, mid forties and a bit overweight, but full of character, good humoured and comfortable with myself. I am based in Northern Ireland.

Now a High School graduate…(which makes things a lot easier)
I registered for classes today at OC and made my way to the Art Room. I was hoping to inquire about the position- Unfortunately the instructor was no where in sight…
I will call in and ask to speak with them, maybe make an appointment. I’ve also been experimenting with poses, angles and timing them/myself! My confidence in my abilities are growing, and my anticipation’s not far behind.
Progress, slowly but surely is being made.
Hey, I have done this 4 times. 3 were for a Life art drawing class, where I had to do a variety of 2 standing positions, 2 sitting positions and 1 lying position. The whole class took 2 hours. It was a great experience. I didn’t feel at all uncomfortable as everyone there was so professional and complimentary to me. Seeing all the drawings was incredible, all these people had put different aspects of me into their work and it was a fantastic experience.
Certainly worth the time and money.
The other time I did it was for a sculpter. He was commissioned to do a sculpture for the train station in Melbourne and it was of a woman looking down onto a running child. He put me on a revolving seat/stage thing, nude, then took photos of me at every 30 degree angle. He then measured how long my limbs were, how far above the chair I rose, how long my neck was etc. It was a very different experience. But again, I didn’t feel uncomfortable because he was very professional and we had a good laugh together while he worked.
Hope that helped.
