Our Prestigious Team

The NYSA faculty is made up of instructors and admissions officers from prestigious art schools in the United States. Students receive portfolio guidance from professors of their dream universities.

Optimized Portfolio

NYSA’s Portfolio Prep program classes are divided into basic to advanced majors and designed to maximize creativity. Students build portfolios with tailored content specific to each major and department through various media types such as 2D, 3D, video, and installations.

Our highly tailored classes allow students to undertake specific projects based on their preferred major or interests. NYSA’s faculty provides real-time feedback to streamline their workflow and help students produce their best results.

​

Presentations & Critiques

NYSA classes include college-level presentations and critiques.

Our faculty helps each student prepare their portfolio and practice presenting in front of real art professors.

Students gain practical experience and the opportunity to preview real-life college presentations and critique sessions before stepping up as a true artist in the real world.
