Where an art model can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role an art model already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Art models pose for visual artists as reference or inspiration for their creative work. They stand model for artists that perform figure drawing, paint, make sculptures or create photographic art. Art models are professional models that use their body to become the object of the artist's creation.

Also known as nude art model, life model, artists' model, artist's model, life nude model.
