Life Drawing Community Agreements
It’s important that we respect our models’ boundaries and create a safe and professional space!
Treat the model with respect at all times during a modeling session
Do not make inappropriate remarks of any kind about the model
Do not photograph a model at any time during the modeling session (even during breaks) without the model’s permission
Do not “hit on” or ask the model out on a date
Avoid using electronic devices while the model is posing, even to take pictures of your artwork. Recognize that the model may feel vulnerable when remaining motionless and being unable to look around while posing
Do not criticize the model in front of other artists while the model is posing. Restrict any necessary feedback to private comments to the session facilitator
Tipping is not mandatory, but is appreciated — art modeling is hard work!
