Parsons New School for Design requires special exercises in addition to a portfolio from its applicants. The Parsons' admissions board may consider this supplementary work more important than portfolios. Therefore, we have designed a special course geared towards students that are applying to Parsons.

Subjects covered in our Portfolio Preparation Courses:
Drawing Courses:
*Anatomical Life Drawing I, II

NYART students learn to draw by observing the visual properties of form and the spaces they occupy. They gain an understanding of the basic elements of drawing and their potential to articulate and express these properties purposefully and convincingly. The course stresses on the development of sound draftsmanship and various strategies for personal exploration. In Drawing I, students will study nude, still life, interiors, landscape, lighting, nature stud, portrait, and composition, among others.
In upper-level classes, studio drawing courses are more varied and esoteric, encouraging personal expression and inviting visual experimentation, conceptual sophistication and imaginative solutions.
Painting Courses:

Courses are offering in both traditional painting conventions (representational) and more contemporary methods and forms (abstracts, 3D).
