This point needs closer examination. Paradigm Man is right in his assertion that most Christian artist advocating drawing nudes would never pose nude themselves. What is it about the psychological profile of nude modelling that discourages Christians from posing nude? Could it be that Christians who draw nudes are condeming themselves in what they approve? Why should Christian artist have to rely on the unsaved population to supply nude models? Without the unsaved population which supplies the majority of nude models, there can be no drawing of nudes, at least not with the current accessibility. Why don't Christians start their own art clubs, etc, with nude models? This observation shouldn't be pushed under the rug, but confronted head on.
paradigm man said:As a former nude model, I also ponder this point:
Why is it that so many christians unopposed to drawing nudes are so modest about their own bodies? They don't mind drawing nudes, but they would never be a nude. Is there a double standard at work? I run across this mentality all the time from christians unopposed to drawing nudes. If they cry modesty, then why their modesty and not the model's modesty? Could it be that they hold themselves to a higher moral standard than they hold the models to? Incidently, the nudes they are drawing are almost always not christians, so you have christians drawing nude non-christians. HHHhhmm .
