• Course description
  The New York Academy of Art offers a rigorous Master of Fine Arts degree with concentrations in drawing, painting and sculpture.

The two-year program continues the tradition of figurative art through intensive anatomy courses, traditional skills training and ongoing discourse about contemporary practice with peers, renowned artists and academics.
  
  
  Painting's technical, formal and conceptual legacy lies at the heart of the painting curriculum. Our intensive two-year program combines the study of historic and current painting methodologies with the development of the student's individual artistic vision. The core studio sequence begins with direct, perceptually-based methods, continues with indirect techniques, and then proceeds to synthetic modes of pictorial construction. Self-directed work is regularly critiqued by renowned visiting artists and faculty in the context of a diverse contemporary discourse.
