Still Life Workshop, July 5-16, 2010
The workshop is designed for students, wishing to work in the realist tradition, of all levels of experience -- although some background in painting is desirable. This is a 10-day course spread over a two-week period during which the students will complete a small still life. Each student will be assigned an individual space in which to work on his own set-up. The course will be limited to 10 students who will receive individual instruction daily on composition, drawing and painting.
Tuition is $1000.00, which includes a designated working space, easel, lights, and full use of the well-equipped studio. For students wishing to take only one week of the course, the tuition is $600.00. Students should bring their own painting supplies and still-life props which may be left in their space for the duration of the class. A list of recommended materials will be provided upon enrollment. A $600 deposit is required to reserve a spot, the remainder to be paid on the first day of class. Make checks payable to Judy Kudlow and mail to the Harlem Studio. Contact Cynthia Zinser - 917 492 1923 - to register.

NYK Academy student drawing on the cover of Drawing Magazine
For a fall 2009 special edition of Drawing Magazine, Editor-in-Chief M. Stephen Doherty's feature article "The Revival of an Influential Drawing Course" discusses Charles Bargue and Jean-Leon Gerome's Cours de Dessin, popular in the 19th century, forgotten with the rise of Modernism, and revived in recent years. NYK Academy is one of the schools that currently teach the famous course and a Bargue plate drawing by student Jayme del Rosario was chosen as the cover of the magazine.
Expansion of Harlem Studio
The Harlem Studio has expanded, with NYK Academy now occupying the entire second floor of the building.
