Upstairs there was an exhibition called Trademark having its private view. The life model nipped up before class and a fellow student nipped up in the break for a free glass of wine. Both of them reported back that it was an exhibition of explicit computer manipulated photographs. One had David Beckham superimposed over some female lingerie with POSH tattooed on his knuckles and a massive erection, apparently. The life model said maybe she was a prude and that's why she was shocked. I was too chicken to go up there and I don't consider myself to be a prude despite the fact I wouldn't pose nude for a life class (sometimes you just need a mate to help you feel confident).
We were supposed to be looking at positive and negative space, thinking about shadow before the lines and we drew 20min, 5min and 1min poses followed by a longer drawing after the break.
