Life Drawing! :(

[Netbug009]

I need some college advice. I'm an art student, and as such one of the things we need to do in some classes is "life drawing," which is basically drawing nude models to better learn human anatomy.

What are your guys thoughts on this? Obviously, it's seeing somebody naked, but it's not intended for any sexual purpose. How do you believe God feels about such? I could probably get out of it for religious reasons, but if it's alright, it would be good practice, because I fail at drawing humans.

Go ahead, I don't think God will have any issues with you working on your drawing skills.

But if it does rub your conscience in a bad way, then don't feel bad about opting out.

Simply put, go stand in the Sistine Chapel and look up.

or dig up any decent picture of Adam and Eve I suppose works just as well.

Most of the squeamishness about nudity is an overreaction. Plus you'd miss out on allot of good experience about figure drawing.

I hadn't thought of the Sistine Chapel.

Thanks guys!

Continue your classes if the Holy Spirit doesn't convict you that He has an issue with it.
