Art classes can be a model experience
By LISA BOLTON Staff reporter
A semicircle of drawing students sketched silently as they faced one spotty corner of a high-ceilinged studio in the Art & Design Building.
The studio was still except for the medley of sound produced by charcoal brushing against newsprint and scratching against drawing paper.
Some students stood at easels; other straddled benches and propped their tablets against the backs. All drew steadily, glancing only from the model in the corner to their newspaper size-sized tablets.
AFTER 40 MINUTES of concentration, the stillness was broken when the professor called for a demonstration, and their penials and slowly stretched
The model got up from the white cloth-draped mattress where she had jain for the last 40 minutes and blue satin robe over her hair skin.
In any other campus classroom, nudity would be inappropriate. In the context of the studio, however, nudity is essential to students learning to draw.
"I think it would be stranger if we did wear clothes," remarked the model, a KU student, last week.
One of the artists, Tenou King, Kansas City, Mio., junior said she had been uncomfortable only the first time she drew from a model.
"To me, it's not a 'naked person,'" she said softly, as she sketched a life of a prene model.
"It's like an art form. If you get tooung up on the person, you don't see everything that's around her."
JENNY McCADE, assistant professor of art, said that even her beginning freshman drawing classes will be taught from a mine model uncomfortable.
"Most are glad for the opportunity," she said. "Drawing from a figure is one of the best ways to learn all aspects of drawing."
Class usually begins with half an hour of poses from 15 seconds to one minute. Students try to capture a model's stance with a rough sketch.
FOR THE REST of the class,
which lasts at least three hours,
the models hold poses for 30 to 50
minutes.
Genie Sullivan, a Lawrence resident who has modelled for about 1 1/2 years, said she felt awkward during her first week as a model.
"The first day, I just stood there with my arms stiff for a few minutes," she said. "Sort of as a joke, I said. Well, now I'll do my business. Now I looked down and realized that everyone was already drawing me."
SULLIVAN SAID a friend had told her about the modeling jobs in the art department, which pays $4.00 an beginner and $1.23 after one semester.
"I thought, well, gee, I should go "home and stand in front of the mirror and practice," she said. "I'd never tried to draw anyone."
She said she worked from 10 to 15 hours each week and also did freelance jobs at Baker University in Anderson and at Haskell Indian Junior College.
SULLIVAN SAID she liked the job because it gave her flexibility. A sophomore last year, she said she might return to school next semester and planned to model as long as she was in school.
"To do it full time would drive you crazy," she said.
years, the rest come and go.
"A lot of people feel awkward and
quit." she said.
She said a few models stay several years; the rest come and go.
LIFE DRAWING classes use
Roger Shimomura professor of art, said the goal of a drawing class was to make students draw what they thought would be realistic, that they thought a person looked like.
models every day. Drawing classes use them often, and painting and sculpture classes occasionally use models.
"Most beginning students don't know what they're actually seeing," he said. "We try to get them to look as thought as they put these marks down."
Students may practice perceptual or conceptual drawing from a model. Perceptual drawing is looking and recording accurately, Shimomura said, and conceptual drawing using the essence of a model in motion.
BESIDES BEING versatile,
human figures are more interesting
to draw than fruit bowls and bottles.
"A figure is something we all relate to," Shimunmura said. "In conversation, we describe people a lot more than we do inanimate objects."
Jeff Sikes, Wichita senior, said drawing from models helped him as an illustration major because he could observe and draw the muscle structure and minute changes in the human body.
"You're not necessarily trying to get a good drawing, but to understand what you're seeing and to apply it to two dimensions," he said as he used smooth sweeping lines to suggest on his paper the form of the model reclined on a couch in the corner.
A DRAWING I student asked,
"How can you draw a person with
clothes on if you don't know what
the body underneath looks like?"
Most models are college-age women who learned about the job through friends.
Cheryl Markoff, who recently moved to Lawrence, said she
"I wasn't sure if I would be nervous or not during class," she said, adding that she wasn't.
learned about the job from Sullivan.
"Actually, it was more unusual the first morning when I woke up. I thought, 'What am I doing?' "
ONE DRAWING II class practiced a technique of using steel wool to scour an image from black-coated white paper. Their model was Eldred Day, who said he'd lived in Lawrence for more than 50 years.
"I don't do the modeling I used to," he said. "But I still play the game."
He said he also modeled at the Lawrence Arts Center.
Stiffness and drafty studios are hazards of the occupation, but one model said she used the unimproved room to do homework for her major. Japanese.
The students concentrate, too. For more than an hour, students in one hushed studio studied the model of the balloon and laughed and conversation in the hallway outside the door. Except for murmured conversation with the professor as the moved soft among of pencils on paper was audible.
"This is just too hard for students to be thinking of any kind of nonsense about nudity," said Peter Thompson, professor of art.
He explained that a physician, for example, views the human body differently than a psychologist. An older view the body in still another way.
HE SAID he has his students draw from human bodies like their own to try to teach them to see the body from the artist's point of view.
"I learn to draw is an incredibly difficult process of study and work," he said. "It requires mental stimulation for beyond what students are used to."

Columbia pilot may see game this Saturday
From the author of THE PHILADELPHIA STORY
Astronaut Joe Engle will decide later this week whether he and his wife will attend the KU-MU football game Saturday as planned, Dick Wintermere, of Kansas Alumni Association executive director, said yesterday.

"They're planning on coming if Joe can get a weekend off from his official duties." "Wintermote said."
The shuttle's flight was postponed from Nov. 4 to Nov. 12 after a computer detected impurities in the craft's oil filters 31 seconds before a scheduled departure.
Engle is being debriefed after landing the Columbia space shuttle at Edwards Air Force Base in California Saturday afternoon.
The mission was then cut from five to three days because one of the craft's three energy cells failed shortly after liftoff.
John Engle, Nassau Bay, Texas,
freshman and son of Engle, returned
Sunday night from Edwards Air Force
Base, where he had watched the shuttle
"Dad felt pretty good, but tired," Engle said yesterday. "They kept them pretty busy up there."
