Summary
A professional who takes poses based on the instructions of painters or sculptors during the creation of art works such as paintings, sculptures, and sketches.
Description
Art models provide human body poses, expressions, and dynamic postures for painters and sculptors when creating art works. In ateliers, study rooms, or workshops, they hold specified postures for extended periods to provide visual references for production. They also need to flexibly change expressions and poses according to the theme of the work or the artist's intentions. They often work as freelancers, with diverse work styles including individual contracts or registered participation in workshops.
Future Outlook
Stable demand is expected due to the increase in art education and workshops. With the spread of online classes and digital art, demand for models in new forms is also expected to expand.
