OUR AIM IS TO REVEAL TO THE ENTERING STUDENT APPROPRIATE QUESTIONS ABOUT DRAWING, PAINTING AND SCULPTURE AND TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO WORK HARD AND THINK RIGOROUSLY AT ALL TIMES, ENABLING THEM TO CONSTRUCT AN ETHICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL FRAMEWORK FOR THEIR LIFE'S WORK.THE GRADUATING CERTIFICATE OR MFA STUDENT LEAVES THE SCHOOL WITH A DEVELOPED UNDERSTANDING OF THE LANGUAGE OF ART; AN ENLARGED IMAGINATION STIRRED BY AN ESTABLISHED WORK ETHIC, WITH THE PASSION AND AMBITION TO BE AN ARTIST FOR YEARS TO COME. 0 0 1763005 490049 1199799 ART INSTRUCTION - THE NEW YORK STUDIO SCHOOL IS WHERE DRAWING, PAINTING AND SCULPTURE ARE STUDIED IN DEPTH, DEBATED ENERGETICALLY AND CREATED WITH PASSION. OUR GOAL FOR YOUNG ARTISTS IS FOR THEM TO FIND THEIR OWN PERSONAL VISION THROUGH THE INVESTIGATION OF ART AND THE VISUAL WORLD AROUND US. ABSTRACTION AND FIGURATION RUB SHOULDERS AND OFTEN INTERCHANGE. PERCEPTUAL DEEDS AND CONCEPTUAL IDEAS COHABIT. WE ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THAT UNIQUE VISION PUSHED TO AN EXTREME, FOUND SLOWLY AND WITHOUT GUILE.IN ORDER TO ASSIST IN THE MAKING OF ART, THE SCHOOL ENDEAVORS TO MAKE READABLE THE 'LANGUAGE' OF ART FROM THE FAR PAST TO THE RECENT PRESENT. KNOWLEDGE OF THAT LANGUAGE, WHEN ATTAINED, GIVES THE ARTIST THE ABILITY TO USE IT, TRANSFORM IT, REJECT OR DISCARD IT, OR RE-INVENT IT AT WILL.WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF THE SIMPLEST MEANS, AND ITS ABILITY TO CONTAIN AND CONVEY THE MOST PROFOUND AND COMPLEX IDEAS, FEELINGS AND MEANINGS. OUR ENTHUSIASM FOR PAINT, CHARCOAL, CLAY AND WOOD CONNECTS US WITH THE SYNERGIES OF THE FIRST SHAMAN WHO CRUSHED BERRIES INTO PIGMENT, THE FIRST PAINTER WHO USED OIL ON CANVAS, THE FIRST SCULPTOR WHO MOLDED CLAY INTO THE HUMAN FORM.FIRM BELIEVERS IN THE UNIQUENESS OF OUR OWN CONTEMPORARY TIME, WE ALSO RESEARCH THE COMPLEXITIES OF OUR OWN CENTURY'S DISCOVERIES. THOUGH WE CELEBRATE PAINTING AND SCULPTURE, WE ARE NOT NOSTALGIC FOR THE PAST. POWERFUL EXPRESSIONS WILL FIND THEIR OWN CONDUITS.WE STRONGLY BELIEVE IN DRAWING. IT IS THE MOST DIRECT MEANS OF DESCRIBING AN EXPERIENCE OR AN IDEA. DRAWING IS THE MOST CRUCIAL PATHWAY TO UNDERSTANDING IN ART, AND IS THE COMMON BOND BETWEEN THE DISCIPLINES OF PAINTING AND SCULPTURE. THERE ARE FEW PLACES WHERE DRAWING IS SO INTENSELY INVESTIGATED.IT IS DURING THEIR TIME AT THE SCHOOL THAT WE BELIEVE A STUDENT DEVELOPS THE ETHICS, PHILOSOPHY AND WORK HABITS THAT CONTINUE INTO LATER LIFE AS AN ARTIST. WE EXPECT OUR STUDENTS TO DISCOVER THAT THE DEDICATION OF THE ARTIST IS A LIFETIME'S COMMITMENT. SIGNIFICANT KNOWLEDGE GAINED EARLY ON AND ABSORBED CAN BE USED OVER A LIFESPAN. THE HUMILITY TO LEARN, COUPLED WITH AN AMBITION TO MAKE COMPELLING WORK ARE POWERFUL ATTRIBUTES FOR THE YOUNG ARTIST.THE SCHOOL IS NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED. IT IS FOR THE STUDENT WITH A DEEP INVOLVEMENT IN THE DESIRE TO BE AN ARTIST, AN INTENSITY OF TEMPERAMENT AND VISION, AND AN INTEGRITY OF PURPOSE. IT IS FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO WORK RIGOROUSLY, THINK SMART AND KEENLY, AND THOSE WHO ARE PREPARED TO LOOK HARD AND LONG IN ORDER TO SEE. A TRUE STUDENT IS ALWAYS 'LOOKING; A REAL ARTIST BEGINS TO SEE.WE URGE THOSE STUDENTS TO APPLY WHO GENUINELY WISH TO LEARN AND WHO ARE BOLD ENOUGH TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE OF PAINTING AND SCULPTURE IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY. WE OFFER THE CHANCE TO TRANSLATE THE METAMORPHOSIS OF LIFE INTO ART'S METAPHOR. THE NEW YORK STUDIO SCHOOL IS A PLACE WHERE THE POWER OF IMAGES IS STILL SEARCHED FOR, THE PHILOSOPHY OF DRAWING STILL PRESENT, AND THE QUEST FOR TANGIBLE FORM STILL ENGAGED. WE BELIEVE IN THE STRENGTH OF ART AND ITS ABILITY TO CHANGE ONE'S LIFE. 1763005 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 120 0 1 46 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 18 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 NY X TAXPAYER 2126736466 8 WEST 8TH STREET NEW YORK NY 10011 GRAHAM NICKSON DEAN 40.00 X 153518 0 12110 F ANTHONY ZUNINO CHAIRMAN 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DEANNA E KING TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 CARLEEN M MURDOCK SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 DITA AMORY TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 BONNIE BURNHAM TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 JESSICA CHERMAYEFF TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 LOIS E DICKSON TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER HARLAND TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 ASHTON HAWKINS TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 GEOFFREY R HOGUET TRUSTEE 0.30 X 0 0 0 PAULA HORNBOSTEL TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 PHILIP H ISLES TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 DOUGLAS KEPPLE TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 LUCY LAMPHERE TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 HON J WILLIAM MIDDENDORF II TRUSTEE 0.10 X 0 0 0 ANNALU PONTI TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 SUSAN SUSSMAN TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 KEJIA WU TRUSTEE 0.50 X 0 0 0 ALISON LYONS-CHAPMAN BURSAR/ACCOUNTS MANAGER 40.00 X 33527 0 4483 187045 0 16593 1 0 1 0 0 384823 245758 987606 371554 1618187 TUITION AND FEES 611710 1192968 1192968 MFA THESIS SALE 900099 3065 3065 STUDENT SALE 900099 2978 2978 EXHIBITIONS INCOME 900099 788 788 1199799 107893 107893 250468 251185 -717 -717 -717 32275 384823 99622 -67347 -67347 2857815 1199799 0 39829 490049 490049 226675 166318 60357 840548 578126 208255 54167 98915 69274 20276 9365 85950 58134 23599 4217 4514 4514 44000 44000 70406 70406 33512 4983 11777 16752 18967 18967 49387 29632 6466 13289 1858 1858 7652 7652 7797 7707 90 857 110 223 524 46450 46450 71303 53477 14061 3765 56990 56990 MODELS 81732 81732 BENEFITS 60200 60200 ELECTRIC 56484 42363 11139 2982 LECTURERS & SEMINARS 54609 54609 201521 99872 95889 5760 2610376 1763005 599572 247799 73520 28795 488212 286770 123147 390566 1709 1160 136565 161990 40235 24306 3149435 826708 1699406 2322727 2123835 1957480 221000 81465 4907629 5255259 92311 189062 218436 91413 750240 1011447 3100 1200 1064087 1293122 X 1613750 1622291 528939 695652 1700853 1644194 3843542 3962137 4907629 5255259 X 247439 -82333 -47988 1477 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 27000 161990 X X X X HELD FOR SALE 1 2094730 5844 -58933 108974 1932667 1921121 254903 75813 157107 2094730 2023570 18229 -115719 4959 1921121 2140288 100057 92433 4673 304535 2023570 2397253 36035 -30131 3958 258911 2140288 0.17780 0.82220 0 0 655112 655112 2194260 687012 1507248 55624 41792 13832 244439 97904 146535 2322727 REFUNDABLE ADVANCES 1200 1200 2386677 -82333 -488427 -570760 2957437 -99622 -99622 2857815 2268082 47988 99767 147755 2120327 490049 490049 2610376 PART III, LINE 4: THE SCHOOL'S COLLECTION IS MADE UP OF DONATED ARTWORK.
