In the studio

What we teach.

A look at the disciplines students work in across our programs — and the kind of work that comes out of them.

The Studio

Where the work happens

A working professional studio — walls of student paintings, shelves of plaster casts, easels facing a live model. Students train in the same environment a working artist does.
