Anyway, great you want take an art class. Just a suggestion, having taken many of the damned things myself. Try a live figure drawing class with open sessions, i.e. no attendance, no grades. Those were always the best ones for me. What to draw was right in front of me. Besides you get to see naked people all you want, or don't as the case may be. The instructors, if their any good know beginners are afraid of the model, so they try to introduce the way, carefully and slowly.
