Master Classical Skills with Instructor Ken Goshen at Our Manhattan School

- Individually tailored art education in a group setting -

Live Models in Every Class


Each class features live models, giving students invaluable opportunities to draw and paint real-life subjects. 

This immersive experience helps students build a deeper understanding of proportions, color, and composition, all while sharpening their observational and technical skills. Working from life presents a dynamic, immediate challenge, driving continuous improvement with every session and equips artists with the confidence to engage real-world subjects in art form.

Measure Your Artistic Progress with Our Unique Belt System


Inspired by martial arts dojos, our exclusive belt system tracks your artistic development in a clear, structured way. Unlike other art schools, where feedback may feel abstract, our system celebrates each milestone with a tangible recognition, making progress both visible and motivating.

Progress is assessed through ongoing instructor feedback, completed projects, and a holistic review of the student's body of work.

Located in the heart of Manhattan


Our school is conveniently located near Bryant Park, and accessible by nearly all subway lines.
