Things to Know
- Drawing and Painting classes are held Monday – Thursday and are each three hours long. Morning classes are always 8:00–11:00 and afternoon classes are always from 2:00–5:00. Occasionally there are late-morning classes that meet 11:00–2:00 and evening classes that meet 5:00–8:00.
- Most models are scheduled to work 1–2 sessions per week.
- Generally, models are required to pose in 30-minute sittings or quick 30-second gestural poses, with a couple of short breaks during the session. Variations may be established with each instructor; however, there must be a reasonable balance between posing periods and breaks. Each model is entitled to a total break of 30 minutes during the 3-hour session.
- Models are paid $25 per hour and deducted for every quarter hour (15 minutes) when late or absent.
- Models are paid twice monthly.
- Models must conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times.
- The Department of Art and Art History does conduct a background check for each applicant.
