Art model

I volunteered to be an art model this week. The class is figure study at the college I work at. The students are working with clay to sculpt a bust. Practically all the students are forming people that they know. They are working off of photos and one student is using a mirror. As she is doing a clay bust of herself.

Besides myself, there are two other models, male and female. The first time I volunteered, I was asked to model three times. The times I wasn't needed, I was sitting at a desk. When a student asked for my assistance. I would look and face the way they wanted me to. When asked to face them, I had a difficult time making eye contact. I would look at the ceiling or just over their head. As an art major, I had my share of working with live models. So many pairs of eyes are on you. To me its just a weird feeling.

The second time visiting the class, I was used five times. Most of the students in the class don't ask me to pose for them. That is OK. I just like being able to help out if they need it.
