Summary/Scope: Figure Drawing Model
Essential Duties and Responsibilities: The Hardin Simmons University Art Department seeks 1 or 2 figure models to pose for Figure Drawing classes. Applicants will need to be willing to pose in an appropriate swimsuit for HSU art students to draw in a live setting. Applicants will be requested to hold poses for extended periods of time. The professor will instruct students to draw the model's figure with discussion revolving around skeletal structure, musculature, volume light and shadow. The class meets on Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00-2:50 PM. Applicants will need to be present for one or both meetings. Ideally, we will have two different models, one for each day.
Education/Experience: No specific education necessary, though dance or gymnastics experience could be helpful
Physical Requirements: Applicants must be able and willing to ascend a small stage and hold a variety of poses for extended periods of time. The ability to accept choreographic direction (for static poses) is necessary. Applicants with choreographic creativity are encouraged.
Work Environment: The setting is the Frost Center Painting Room. The space will be filled with a class of around ten students and a professor. Lighting varies to emphasize various aspects of the models form. Students and professor will discuss aesthetic concerns, anatomy and physiology as well as random other topics. The applicant will be asked to assume various poses and hold them for predetermined periods of time.
Additional Information: Ideally, we would have a variety of models with differing body types to pose for the students. If you are only able to meet on one of the days requested please do not hesitate to apply for the position. I may end up piecing the schedule together with various models.
