CONTINUING EDUCATION - Summer, 2008
Atelier of the New York Academy of Art
June 2nd
- August 15, 2008 The study of
the human body and its conceptual and metaphorical aspects are central to the
mission of the New York Academy of Art. Historically, artists devoted years of
training to master the nuances and complexities of the body's representation in
art. Today, the Academy advances this tradition as the basis for the
development of vital contemporary art. The "Atelier" of the Academy is a
Continuing Education program that offers the serious student and passionate
beginner an opportunity to study with accomplished artists who are experts in
drawing, anatomy, painting and sculpture. Learning to make art in the studio of
a master artist had been the time-honored manner through which knowledge and
skills were passed from generation to generation. The Academy reinvigorates
this tradition with specialized courses and intensive instruction. Here,
developing artists acquire the tools necessary to invest their work with sound
draftsmanship, convincing technique and visual authority.
