Snapshots From NYSS

"Before the New York Studio School, I worked mostl

"Before the New York Studio School, I worked mostly from observation. The school taught me to take the paintings I did in the summer and make something new of them in the studio. For 35 years I worked as a stage designer but I was tired of it, burnt out, you could say, and I was longing to be a full-time painter. The Studio School helped me to put a wedge between my old self and my new one – I transformed into what I have always wanted to be – a painter!" – Adrianne Lobel

Finding Structure through Process: Drawing Maratho

Finding Structure through Process: Drawing Marathon – IN-PERSON with Clintel Steed
September 7th - 17th, 2021

COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this Marathon, we will explore what it really means to have structure in a drawing and a painting. We will experience what it is like to work from a given structure and have to make decisions. We will then make our own setup with a focus of having very strong structure to work from direct observation. We will have to trust our decision-making. We will learn that thinking about structure can lead to invention and narrative. We will understand that, whilst thinking through structure, color, form and geometry all play a major roll. We will also make drawings at the Museum of Natural History and explore the work of Thomas Eakins to see how he was able to have both a solid structure and a solid narrative.

“Then I came to the Studio School, and what this

“Then I came to the Studio School, and what this school gave me was a set of ideas that actually still inform my work. I’ve always loved Cubism since I was sixteen and so when I came here and I encountered teachers such as Nick Carone, Fred Thurz, Bruce Gagnier, and Charles Cajori, what they gave me was an understanding of ideas about the picture plane, a kind of modernist or cubist space, about Hofmann’s legacy, and fusing that with Surrealism and Abstract Expressionism. But what they also gave me was a sort of critical framework to look at works through out art history.” – Lynette Lombard

Poetry of the Everyday: Drawing Marathon – IN-PE

Poetry of the Everyday: Drawing Marathon – IN-PERSON with Ed Praybe
September 7th - 17th, 2021

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This drawing course will center on translating the commonplace into something uniquely profound. The sources for imagery will come from still life, interior spaces, the surrounding cityscape and art historical works. Working from a combination of strict direct observation and synthetic approaches students will discover the surprises locked within everyday objects and scenes. Daily drawing exercises will address the roles that time and change, shape, structure, value, emphasis and measurement/proportion play on the way we interpret the world around us. Individual approaches to the course topics will be the focus of a final project during the second week. One on one feedback and critiques will be given by the instructor daily with informal group critiques during the working session throughout both weeks. The final day will be devoted to an in-depth group critique. A gallery or museum visit as well as the utilization of spaces outside the studio may be part of this course and will be announced ahead of time.

Sculpture Marathon – IN-PERSON with Sarah Peters

Sculpture Marathon – IN-PERSON with Sarah Peters & Guests
September 7th - 17th

This Marathon will focus on making sculpture through the lens of art history. Work will be generated through research and filtered through the artist's intuitive response to materials and form. Class critique will emphasize the relationship between image and meaning as we analysis of shape, form, texture, rhythm, geometry, symmetry, and proportion. Connections between figuration and abstraction will be highlighted.

"The Studio School has and will continue to be a big part of my life. The program served as a foundation for my understanding of art and helped me look at paintings in a whole new way. My favorite memory will always be the Drawing Marathons— hours of drawing from a life model, and spending the evening discussing and learning from each other’s drawings. Those moments are very special and could not be replicated elsewhere." – Misato Pang
