    I always do gesture drawing with my students, and this term, instead of
    using the students as models for a minute each, I decided to try to use
    slides of humans painted by various artists. I had mentioned the day we
    started talking about drawing humans that in art school you spend a couple
    of years drawing nudes for hours a week. The kids all groan or say they
    want to be in art school, etc. Then when we were trying to draw the
    various poses they instantly understood that it's very hard to understand
    and draw human form when it's covered with yards of material. They no
    longer feel that artists are a bunch of pervs.
