Had my first art class today in FIVE YEARS!
Was definitely nerve-wracking to find myself in a four hour art class, but it got worse, because I missed TWO buses to school. I take the 80, because it saves me 30 dollars in gas and only costs me 12 back and forth for a week. Showed up 30 minutes late, had to sit through a Q&A slideshow about technique. I only perked up when I answered a question correctly about conveying emotion through simplistic line design. From there, we all gathered around to draw the professor bust up in harsh light for 50 minutes. And, you know what? The little, baby Dave Navarro sitting next to me commented on my drawing during mid-break like, "WOW! THAT'S AWESOME! Looks just like him!" We had to pass in our drawings and out of everyone, I think I have the best technique.
I know this post is so long, but I just feel the need to share a day that started off so scary and frustrating and ended so well. I have a new found passion for art and especially realism. I can't wait to awkwardly sit through drawing nude schoolmates. Woo!

Well haven't they adjusted those sort of things. Like make an all girl class. I don't know, also, don't sexualize it so much. Make it art, hell, just who says you have to draw his penis haha. Put that canvas over his penis and just draw his torso and up and his thigh down 
my own solution

They use to pay students to take off their clothes - then again I guess it would be cheaper to have everyone strip down while drawing, painting, et cetera. Sometimes awkward is fun
