Terence Higgs — Played by LdyPayne
I was just about to post a Lesson thread with Terence and it occurred to me some art classes may be split by gender. Considering the use of nude models may be considered inappropriate for girls so wanted to do a quick check and see what would be expected at Hogwarts.

Christabel Daphnel — Played by Dante
So interestingly - life drawing from live models wouldn't really have happened until someone was considered a really advanced student (like college level) for the most part in the 19th century life drawing was done by copying other artists drawings - like Davinchis life drawings
'it was not until 1893 that they (women) were allowed to draw from the male model – and then only if he was wearing a voluminous length of fabric thoroughly wrapped around his bathing trunks.'
so women of any age were not allowed to draw from live males ever in 1892 and only allowed to draw dressed women.
And basically under 18's of either gender were not really 'allowed' - or it wasn't considered appropriate for them to draw from live models. It would be more likely that they would be bring in a statue of the Madonna and have the students draw that.
