5.0 out of 5 stars The Bible for Artist Models, February 12, 2001

I have been an artist model for three years. Recently somebody trashed me out for doing my job. Reading Theresa Danna's book boosted up my morale and made me hold my head up high. Now I have the verbal weapons to defend myself against such ignorant people.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Bare Facts of Modeling for Artists, August 23, 1999

By

This review is from: Rollover, Mona Lisa!: How Anyone Can Model for Artists (Paperback)

In ROLLOVER, MONA LISA, subtitled "How Anyone Can Model for Artists," the author calls upon her years as a professional nude artist's model to demystify the profession to aspiring models. One of the best sections deals with Cleo Dornan whose modeling career spanned decades! Included with the 60 illustrated pages are biographies of a number of famous models throughout history. This is a fast, fun read, especially if you have an interest in the arts and entertain either curiosity or fantasy about actually becoming a nude artist's model. Read it -- you'll like it!

As a 56 year old life model, I can't thank Ms. Danna enough for putting in words what we all face as we try to provide value for artists, art instructors and, most importantly, art students. During one session this past week, I was confronted with a "Model Code of Behavior" that mirrored many of Ms. Danna's thoughts presented in her book. I highly recommend Ms. Danna's book to both aspiring models and life drawing and painting art instructors. Bravo, Theresa!
