Life Drawing Etiquette & Rules
Remember! Figure Drawing, nude or clothed, is a sacred and sensitive practice for both models and artists. It is of utmost importance, and it is expected and understood, that everyone adheres to the following code of etiquette.
Artists are expected to arrive early and get their workspace set up. Arriving late interrupts the model’s work and disrupts the session for the rest of the class.
If running late, student artists are expected to call Maggiolly Art at (519) 942-9560 and may only be admitted during a break.
Drop-in artists who arrive after the session has begun will not be admitted.
Artists are expected to be respectful of the model, and there should not be any talking while the model is posing. If artists are in an extended conversation and the pose starts, it should be taken outside of the studio.
Do not play audible music during the pose; the session monitor will select music for the room.
Do not take out your cell phone at all. Turn the ringers off, on silent or vibrate during the session.
Allow the model their personal space during breaks as they rest.
Do not talk with the model during the pose, or to make comments on the pose.
Do not talk to the model on breaks unless they start a conversation with you.
Never make comments about the model's body or appearance.
Only working artists are allowed in the room while the model is working.
In most cases, you should only leave the room on a break - if you open the door while the model is posing this puts them in a vulnerable position.
It is expected that, while the model is undraped, everyone is either actively drawing or teaching.
No photographs or video recording of the model or room at any time!
Please direct any comments, suggestions or ideas regarding the model pose, room or other artists quietly to the session monitor during breaks.
Do not move easels, chairs, tables or horses during the pose, other than slight adjustments. Move only during model breaks; movement can distract their pose and "throw them off.”
