Master Classes
The MASTER CLASS program invites well established artists to the Academy to teach intensive workshops that are highly condensed versions of an apprenticeship. By exposing students to artists' opinions within a formalized setting, the Master Classes introduce students to artists' motivations and working methods and allow students to gain insight into how artists approach the making of art and respond to the work of others.
The Academy currently offers all second year students the opportunity to enroll in one Master Class during either the fall or spring semester. Each invited artist determines the overall design of the Master Class. Some may follow a traditional model, constructing a concentrated period of drawing directly from the model, while others may organize gallery and studio visits along with seminars and/or lectures. The sole directive to each master artist is that a group critique be held at the end of the class.
In recent years, Master Class artists have included:
John Alexander
William Beckman
Juan Cardenas
Will Cotton
Amy Cutler
Judy Fox
Julie Heffernan
David Humphrey
Kurt Kauper
