LOL...that's funny. I've been in art school since I'm 13 and we did nude studies EVEN THEN...LOL.

I know what you mean, we even had a nude male model for a life drawing class when I was at school (6th form at least, not how that translates wround the world)

I must be being slowly infected though, I did some video tutorials recently and worried about the nakedness of the model and really paused for thought when a tiny thumbnail of nakedness appeared in one of my texture directories.

Hmmm...6th form. That about 11, 12 or 13? Anyway, I actually went art school where we did, yes, live nude studies. But we would have NEVER done that in art class in normal, everyday school...LOL.

Nudity doesn't even phase me anymore, not even since I was little. American's however, are mostly a bunch of stuffed shirts about the whole thing ;o). I mean, the human body (to me anyway) is beautiful, not ugly, although some try to make it ugly ;o). Its a cultural thing, I suppose.

:) 6th form is 16 17 18 19 over here, elective years of school for advanced level classes :)

The whole nudity thing is fear pure and simple, as if the mere hint of nudity will inspire someone to commit apalling acts of self abuse or something.

Personally I think supressing it is a bad thing, and just covering up certain parts can make an image even more sensual and erotic so what the hey.
