If I was in that art class I will personally protest because I feel it is unnecessary. Usually most courses will give you an alternative project unless the professor really wants to give you trouble.

Title: Art nudes
Comments: I am an artist and also a model. I see nothing wrong with nude art. I looked at lots of nude paintings that were required to learn and understand in my BYU humanities class. The whole process makes me feel whole and enlightened as many other art forms such as classical music. It is very possible to respect the body while drawing/ posing. The purpose of the art is the telling factor. If the purpose is to arouse then it does cross the line. There are some that follow that path but are easily avoided. However, all of the drawing classes/ studios I have attended instead focus on learning from and respecting the body as a facinating subject that creates awe and inspiration. Watching the scantily clad actors on most television shows is way more erotic than nude art because the purpose is to arouse and keep watchers for their ratings.
