The Penn State School of Visual Arts (SoVA) seeks to hire part-time art class models for the 2026-2027 academic year. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed as need arises.
Models are scheduled for three-hour nude figure drawing sessions throughout the semester as needed by the instructor.
Each class is 3 hours long -- where you are expected to hold poses from anywhere between 20 minutes to an hour. At present, all models are hired as nude models, which means that you should expect to be nude during the duration of the class, but this may not always be the case. We do not presently hire models for clothed sessions. There is always a 1015-minute break partway through the course for you to rest, eat/drink, and to utilize the restroom.
Sometimes props and fabrics are used to enhance the level of drawing difficulty and to challenge our students. Poses are modest and focused on displaying muscle structure over physical features.
Students retain ownership over all drawings completed in the class.
We hire a wide range of models to allow our students to practice drawing diverse bodies over the course of the semester. On average, our models each sit for 4-6 sessions per semester and rotate throughout individual classes to allow students to draw a variety of subjects.
Schedules are made on a month-to-month basis.
