We usually always call them models themselves "models". For the piece of artwork you're creating, we called them "nudes."

We call them "models". Perhaps you are looking for the phrase "life model". I've heard that phrase occasionally, and it probably has to do with the fact that they're posing for Life Drawing classes.
Or there's also "live model", since the students are working from a living model and not a plaster cast (though we sometimes work from plaster casts or skeletons).

The term is "model."
Sometimes "figure model." Perhaps "life drawing model," or "figure study model."
