That's a pretty big judgment for someone you don't know. Artists in schools across the world are required to take Life Drawing as part of their curriculum. A student who takes this class, follows the curriculum and tries to learn classical forms of life drawing in the pursuit of a degree is simply that -- an art student. It is later when artists decide to follow particular forms of art, be they landscapes, figures, realistic or abstract. Simply taking a class required for a degree is not taking a moral stand.
