When I was going through the diploma factory, only the higher-level drawing classes had nude models, the lower-level classes usually resorting to a student posing in some sort of dance wear. If nothing else, that weeded out most of the dilettantes and a good number of the merely curious. About all I can say is that it was one of those things that sounded vastly more entertaining to a young single guy than it actually was.

One of my professors - who did not see much value in nude models - once told me about how his own instructors used to pay people from the skid row part of town to be nude models… apparently to keep down libidos AND give students something more challenging to delineate. He was a gifted raconteur with a lot of good stories that ranged from his WWII service (8th AF) to the world of art museums, and some of what he said about human nature has proven valuable to me to this day.

One of the nude models at my school was an anorexic dope addict. All art majors had sketches of Anorexic Annie in their portfolios.
