Art School Modeling: A Part Time Job Involving No Thinking, Talking, Paperwork or Labor

Are you looking for a part time job, but don't want to deal with people or count money? Need more cash but don't want to be talking on the phone, doing paperwork, working in the middle of the night throwing newspapers, or taking inventory of hundreds of store items? And suppose you want only 10 hours per week, as opposed to 20?

There is a part time job out there that is so easy, you don't even have to speak while you do it. It's modeling for art school classes.

You do not have to look like a model to do this. The only requirement is that you convince the person who is interviewing for these positions, that you will show up on time. The one thing that the employer hates is the no-show. They really don't care what you look like.

The purpose of the model is for art students to have a human figure to draw or paint off of. So if you're short, flabby or fat, that does not matter.

I have done modeling for several art schools. Usually, the model must pose in the nude. But there were some occasions in which I was dressed in 19th century attire.

If you're thinking that there is anything erotic about posing nude for art classes, you could not be more mistaken. First of all, in every class I've ever modeled for, most of the students were female. Secondly, I took art in college so I know what it's like from the perspective of the student. All that students want to do is draw a something that remotely resembles the human figure. Then the student shades it or embellishes it somehow. Or paints it or colors it with pastels or inks.

The model should, however, be rather inventive when it comes to posing. Some poses are only 30 seconds long. The instructor has the students quickly sketch 30-second poses, done over a five-minute period. The poses then become increasingly longer, until the last few poses, which may be 30 minutes each. It all depends on the instructor and type of class.
