Inness and Willem de Kooning. We offer courses in a range of genres
and media, all taught by professional artists who emphasize one-to-one
mentorship and a collaborative learning environment, designed for all ages
and skill levels. Please browse this catalog or go online to find the course

But we also request contributions from the students as well, in the form
of a dedication and commitment to their work, to improvement, and an
openness to try new things. We look to students to build on their creative
foundations, and to work toward a crystallized artistic vision to guide them
as they progress toward their personal goals.

ACADEMY SCHOOL
Located at 5 East 89th Street, the National Academy is in the
heart of New York’s Museum Mile. The first session of the National
Academy School commenced on November 15, 1826, with two
Academicians and 20 students sketching by candlelight.
A proudly progressive institution, the National Academy School was
the first of its kind to accept female students and offer women’s lifedrawing classes. The school rapidly grew in stature and reputation,
attracting students such as Winslow Homer, George Inness,
Arshile Gorky and Willem de Kooning.
A FACULTY OF PROFESSIONAL

THE STUDIO SYSTEM
The studio experience is the heart of the National
Academy School. Classes are taught in spacious,
sky-lit studios. Because of their exceptional northern
light, our studios are considered among the finest

Small class sizes allow for individual attention, and
students of all ages and experiences are welcome.
TRADITIONAL &
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH
Areas of study include a wide range of traditional,
contemporary and experimental approaches to
drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking. In

level with a particular drawing medium.
The knowledge and experience gained from
learning how to accurately draw the live model
creates the springboard to all personal explorations
in art including but not exclusive to painting,
sculpture, printmaking. Drawing the figure develops
a base of confidence from which students can
develop their own interests and perceptions. This

cyanotypes, Van Dyke brown, toning, paper selection,
photograms, and the history of photography. Most
materials will be provided. Open to all levels.

that can be either hand or press printed. This course

woodblocks, starting with Western techniques
and moving into traditional Japanese water based
approaches. Participants will learn proper handling
of carving tools, planning and transferring designs
to blocks, registration, types of printing inks - both
oil and water based, gradation bokashi, and the use
of the baren. The goal is to complete an edition of
prints in more than one color. The second session
will focus on the Japanese techniques, specifically the
use of washi, the barn and the kento registration.
