Figure Model Position
Figure Model - Art, Art History and Design Department at CCRI
The Art, Art History and Design Department at the Community College of Rhode Island
(CCRI) is seeking a figure model for life drawing and related art classes. As a figure
model, you will be asked to pose in a variety of settings—nude, semi-nude, or clothed—depending
on the specific needs of the instructor and the course.
The role requires a willingness to be part of an artistic process, contributing to
the development of students' artistic skills by providing a human subject for their
studies. If you are comfortable with different types of poses and are interested in
working in a collaborative and respectful artistic environment, we invite you to apply.
Responsibilities:
- Attend scheduled modeling sessions and follow the directions of the instructor, artist,
or photographer.
- Pose in a variety of positions and for varying lengths of time, from a few minutes
to several hours.
- Maintain stillness and composure during poses to support accurate representation in
drawings, paintings, or sculptures.
- Adjust body positioning, including small shifts of limbs or torso, to achieve the
desired pose.
- Communicate any physical discomfort to the instructor or studio manager promptly to
ensure your safety and comfort.
- Foster a professional and respectful atmosphere in the studio or classroom setting.
Requirements:
- Must not be a current CCRI student.
- Prior experience as a figure model is a plus, but not required. We are willing to
consider applicants who are new to modeling.
- Physical stamina and flexibility to hold static poses for extended periods (sometimes
up to 20-30 minutes at a time).
- Comfort with posing nude, semi-nude, or clothed, depending on the requirements of
the session.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with artists and photographers to achieve the desired
result.
- Punctuality and reliability in attending scheduled sessions.
- Professionalism and respect for the collaborative nature of the creative process.
