Life drawing sounds kind of sexy - a naked model and everyone looking at them and drawing their body. But the reality of a traditional life drawing class is that it often feels a bit clinical, almost medical - the body becomes desexualised as you examine it from every angle and try to translate its curves and angles onto your paper.
But what would happen if everyone in the room was naked? Not just the model, but the men drawing him as well. What would that feel like? How would that shape the creative process?
That's the questions being posed by our creative mentor, Pascal Anson in our Naked Men Drawing events.
Suitable for artists at all levels, but particularly welcoming to beginners and amateurs, this isn't a formal class - it's a self-directed opportunity to practice drawing the human body.
We will have a professional art model to draw - Benji (@NUDEYLDN) - and Pascal will provide the structure and guidance for the session.
This isn't a sex party, it's a social naturism event. Getting together with a group of men and getting naked has value in and of itself, but how does our nudity shape our relationship to the model and the drawings that we're creating? How does the sexual energy of a room full of naked men inform the creative energy that we're tapping into? We're exploring all of that with Naked Men Drawing.
