Are there any restriction on posing naked for life drawing? Is it restricted to own classmates or outsiders?

Are there any restriction for posing naked for art classes doing life drawings? Are there restrictions for own classmates to pose? Is it restricted to males or female classmates or anyone from the public?

Are there any restriction on posing naked for life drawing? Is it restricted to own classmates or outsiders?
I'm in a figure drawing class right now...all of the models we've had are from an agency that the art department works with...many of the models have been older, and none have been students from my school. We've had both female and male models...and for the most part, only people in our class are allowed to attend, unless the model doesn't mind someone else attending the class.


Generally, I don't think it would be appropriate to have a member of the class pose nude. Possibly clothed, it wouldn't be a problem. Usually though, it's best to hire a professional. They're skilled with standing still for long periods of time, and holding interesting poses.
Reply:My daughter did it in college and got paid a small fee for doing it. It was very tasteful and she was not embarrassed at all. She also won the wet T-shirt contest at the Redwoods Bike Run a few years back so she is not a shy girl to begin with. I'm proud of her just the same. Sorry for rambling about my kid but that what mothers do.
Reply:I was a fine art major and took life drawing and there were guys and girls in the class. My class was an eight hour studio with an hour break in the middle. None of the models in my class were a classmate unless they took the course at a different time. When i was in college the models made six dollars an hour. Some of the models were outsiders i don't know who hired them but we had one older man in his sixties. That was the day you wanted to get to class early so you weren't in the front row. I remember just getting out of high school and starting college and knowing i had to draw naked people i was nervous but after the first five minutes it was all about getting the draws done. My first day the professor kicked two guys out for laughing and giggling.
