Subject: LAW ON ART MODEL POSING NUDE?
Hi. I've recently started a part time job as a nude model for life
drawing art groups at colleges. Clearly, those artists in the room
expect to see a nude man, but am I at risk of prosecution of someone
looks in through the window and sees me?  Also, getting sexually
excited is most unlikely whilst posing, but some college classes have
mischevious students deliberately try to provoke this by their actions
- so, if this happened, could I be guilty of some indecency offence?
Would appreciate your advice asap!

You don't say where you are. The law differs in England & Wales, Scotland
and Ireland. Having said that, I don't see there being a problem in the
context you describe, even under Scots law.

I'd be surprised if colleges set up classes in a way that could draw
complaints from outside observers.

No.

I can't imagine a college holding a life class in a room which can be seen
into from outside. But even if they did the answer is still *no*.

Most unlikely

Not a problem I've ever had. But I can't see you getting into trouble over
this unless you were deliberately flaunting yourself. Far more likely IMO is
that the teacher would get a handle on the situation long before it reached
such a situation. Suggesting a break for example. And if some "mischievous
students" were provoking you the teacher should be aware of that as well,
and do something about it!

David.

Subject: Re: LAW ON ART MODEL POSING NUDE?
Many thanks for your prompt responses, and reassurance!
My query related to English law.
Although I've done quite a bit of modelling clothed, I have been quite
surprised at how unprepared this particular college is for nude
modelling.
Surprisingly enough, they don't put blackouts up and other students
passing in the corridor can certainly see in, and in some instances
other students have just charged into the room to get something whilst
the class is in session.
Changing rooms are unheard of - and the model is told to simply strip
off in front of the class.
Most classes are well behaved and appreciative of having a nude live
model to work from - however, there is one class I work for with 3
dropout girls totally disinterested in art, beyond the control of the
teacher, who from the way they sit, talk, eat bananas, place magazines
with page 3 pinups on the floor, make suggestive comments, and move
really close making it clear they are concentrating on just one
specific part of my anatomy, give me no doubt that they have one
specific objective in mind.
Thanks anyway.  I love life modelling, and all is normally above
board, but the way society is going I was getting concerned whether I
was open to the risk of prosecution.
Kev
