When researching life modelling i found its used for many purposes, mainly the human form for art students, sculpting, drawing, painting etc are all mediums used to capture the life model.
| Definition: | the act of drawing the human figure from a living model |
| Example: | Life drawing is considered an essential component of an artist's education. |
below are some helpful links that gave me an insight into life modelling and how one woul dget into it from a amateur perspective

In my opinion, especially considering ive been on the student end of life modelling, i think though we arent judging the life model, they are there as a resource, soon they turn into nothing more than a piece of furniture, but i believe, especially at the star, it must take a seriously brave person to life model. Not just the fact they are bare in front of a room full of people, focused on them, but also because you have to stand there like that for a good deal of time, i am far too fidgety to ever do something like that. It must take alot of patience and nerve.
Once id researched as much as i needed and had a fair idea who a life model is and what the job involves, i brainstormed things i wanted to know or ask (shown below) and then created a decent list of questions i hope to ask all of them in the interview.
-Who are you, tell us a bit about yourself
-Describe yourself in five words
-Explain^
-How did you get into life modelling (additional run on questions from that)
-What was your first experience in life modelling
-How did you feel. did it end good/bad/boring
-Why have you continued
-What does your family/friends say. do they know
-Does it ever effect relationships
-Does work know/does it effect your day job
-Why do it? what do you get out of it
-Have you ever had a bad experience/someone said something to you
-How long will you continue life modelling
-Will your children know you life model/life modeled
-What would suggest to anyone thinking of getting into life modelling
start and end with pleasantries, but thats the general idea of the layout of the interview plan.
