English term or phrase: sitter
Spanish term for "sitter"--that is, the subject of a portrait painting. It is for a museum-activities brochure in the U.S. intended for children. Pls. keep in mind that Spanish-speaking kids in the U.S. have very poor Spanish skills, so it can't be a very sophistaced word. How would you translate this sentence: "A pose is the way that the sitter positions his or her body in a portrait."

agree  Refugio: The statement that "Spanish-speaking kids in the U.S. have very poor Spanish skills, so it can't be a very sophistaced [sic] word" is contrary to my own experience as a bilingual teacher.
