RSSI want to pose nude
I study art and am at the college level now. We do all mediums, including photography.
My class is mostly women and I am also. We did a series of life studies, you know, figure studies in charcoal. Models come in and pose for us. It was hard at first, but it’s pretty normal now.
The weird thing is, I secretly hope that one day the model doesn’t show? And, then they would ask if any of the students would like to stand in. My weird fantasy is that it’s me and I take off my clothes and take up my spot under the sky light completely, absolutely naked. And then my class mates would study me and stare for a very long time. I don’t know why, I’m very modest and really cover up my body normally. But I seriously want to be painted or sketched without clothes.. I’m tired of drawing other people.
I think this goes back to when I was twelve and the Titanic came out, when she posed for that drawing, I had a serious desire to have someone ask me to get naked for a drawing! BUT, oddly enough, I would not want someone to take my picture naked, but art somehow makes it seem above normal nakedness? I can’t explain it, but it seriously turns me on!!!!! Maybe it’s the next best thing to being naked in public? Only in front of art students in stead.
Or, as I think about this, maybe I want to see how they draw me and how they see me?

She’s not weird Futurist! I think it’s absolutely normal that she wants to be drawn naked. After all, there’s nothing more natural than our flesh and besides she’s drawing other people all day long. Go for it girl! Get your kit off and feel like Kate Winslet!! :)

GG, do you pose nude or are you one of those rah rah folks who are timid, but urge others to do the outrageous?

I so know how you feel! You’re totally normal. I am a freak, but you, no, you are totally NORMAL. Don’t let it make you feel bad. You do know that business men in lots of mega POWER like to be dominated, so maybe thats why conservatives like to be nude, or a woman whos got no power may like to dominate? Your fantasies are mild compared to alot of freaks out there. God loves you still. He made eve naked, she clothed herself cause she ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If we are innocent, we like to be naked and find absolutley nothing wrong with it.

I see a lot of local and foreign paintings with nude women on it. So I see there’s nothing wrong at it. How about advertising yourself to other artists instead? I think it’s a bit awkward to pose in front of your students, but if you feel comfortable then go. You never know… one student of yours turned to a famous artist and you see yourself on stores!

I finally did put myself on the list for models at our State College. I have done it a few times and now, after all my fretting about it and wanting it to happen, it just feels like going to the gym or something. I think in the end, I like seeing myself through an artists eyes/hands? One guy here hired me to pose for clay sculptures, that was different and I had to keep going back. His studio is beautiful and it overlooks Lake Erie. He is completely professional and just goes to work on the forms and armitures. I sort of just sit there and day dream… it’s a hard $25.00/hour though. I figure, one day my body will be old and I will have these art pieces to look back on. I have pictures of the clay figure statues. It’s not as exciting as I thought. The biggest group I have posed for is 5. No one even says anything rude or suggestive to me. I’m sort of let down and am looking for something else to do now. Thanks for all the comments! In the end, my own are improved and I’ve met some truly talented people!

I used to model for an art class. It did wonders for my self-esteem and body image :]
I was extremely nervous at first, but it was so professional and a great job! You should give it a try, it even pays well.

I have had thought the same thing in art class. I think it’s a freedom thing. The model is standing there naked and everyone is looking at the body, but treating it with respect and kindness and it becomes art in itself. No bits are ‘bad’. It’s like this beautiful mystery that is being shared.
