    Anonymous review on 12/12/2020
    Comments (verbatim) by the instructor about the female model in a leotard : "If you can imagine where the nipple is..." ; "You can really see where the belly button is by (the indentation in) the cloth..."; "You can see through the cloth there is a shadow." A question: why the leotard in an adult figure drawing class at all? Is this a YMHA thing? A ZOOM thing? Or at least there should be "clothed model" or "in costume" alert in the course description.

    Disappointing. Thought it would entail anatomy study. Wrong!
