This is the best art studio for portfolio preparation and art major application! Without any experience and background in art, I enrolled for one year of study, and got an offer from my dream school art center, plus a few offers from others! I love all the teachers here, they are professional and warm-hearted! Ive learned a lot and developed good skills of art! I highly recommend NY art studio!

With the pandemic and all, its been rough for me as a rising senior at the beginning of this year to prepare for college because I work slow & need guidance and pointers on my portfolio art works... So far the virtual classes Ive attended here have been very helpful for me because they told me which parts I could improve on (sketches, etc) and what more works will make it strong, etc etc.. I am applying for fine art to multiple schools in nyc and some on the east coast. We will see how it goes but i am grateful for the help from the instructors at NY Art studio!

The instructors are very helpful and kind, I was able to take my work to another level with their help. A lot of thanks to Eunsun especially, who worked with me throughout the process so my project can look good!! haha

I took a graduate portfolio prep course for 6 months to apply interaction design(UI,UX design) major graduate schools. Previously, I graduated FIT, Accessories Design, and worked as a handbag designer for about 2 years. Since I dont have any experience related to interaction design, I was pretty anxious about working on my portfolio. Eunsun, Kyeom, and Eugina were so passionate and talented in terms of leading me to develop my portfolio with keeping my own perspective. They carefully listened my idea and then, gave advice and detail instruction to develop my idea to visual result. I made 9 artworks (using coding HTML, CSS, 3D mapping, soldering to make lighting, After Effect, Adobe Animate CC, Photoshop, Illustrator) and got accepted to RISD, Parsons, Pratt, Art Center, MICA, SAIC and got offered scholarship from RISD, Parsons, Art Center, MICA. Because I chose NY art studio, I could get accepted to those schools with scholarship. I really appreciate their help and passion..!

I love all instructors, admission staffs and students from NY ART Studio. If you want to make your art portfolio when you have no idea how to start(I was like that), this art school is way to go!! The portfolio preparation program is quite demanding and intense in the beginning but the instructors are really patient and teaching you step by step. I was feeling much more confident after I finished 2~3 artworks here. Also, all classmates are very serious about art and actually that made me work more hard and motivated. I made 18 artworks with NY ART and got accepted to illustration program at Pratt, FIT, Art Center, MICA, SAIC, and CCA. Moreover, Pratt, MICA and SAIC offered me the merit scholarships!! I havent decided which school I would be attending but Im just so excited!! Thank you so much, everybody at New York Art Studio!!

Lovely studio! Came here to consult on my nephews college prep and the consultants couldnt be more helpful. Shes thrilled to start their portfolio development course from next week!

The instructors are awesome! As an international student, I wasnt sure how to make portfolio to go to art college. I also signed up for Admission Management service, and NY Art studio helped me with my essays, portfolio photos (looked so good!!!!!), and all my application process, and of course portfolio too. I chose to attend SVA, which was my top choice school. I liked that i could create projects that were really thoughtful and creative and conceptual. I recommend New York Art Studio from the bottom of my heart for helping me go to my dream school !

If you have extra money without learning anything, come and enjoy your precious time.I think most of studio in NYC doesn’t teach well especially running by Korean, but they really good at how to scam your money with their GRACIOUS smile.Most students are pretty young so they really don’t know what is going on. They might realize it was really bad teaching after 10 or 15 yrs later.So they might ask you good review comment right after you got admission from your school.But not everything is bad if you have lots of money and really don’t want to study truly, you can buy some convenient service such as writing applications and some other important stuff.But you need to think about what is really good for your life!

New York Art Studio has been a real game changer for me. I was a student with a math background but, also have a passion for design. They have given me the opportunity to accomplish things I couldve ever imagine. A good friend of mine recommended this school to me and honestly, its an investment. However, with hard work and dedication, I believe its an investment worthwhile. The instructors and staffs that work there are experts at what they do. And with their assistance, I was able to go to the school of my dream. So, if you have an art school youre interested in and need a portfolio or simply need to improve on your skills, look into New York Art Studio. Like I mentioned before, they provide the best assistance and with your own efforts, youll get the best results.

Ive just finished my first art portfolio development class here! the office staff was very efficient and friendly, so far i had only one instructor but she was super knowledgeable in art. I have been really looking into doing some conceptual work so I couldnt be more excited for the remaining classes. Also a lot of students there were all a similar age and working for similar goals so its easy to talk to and befriend with.

I had such a positive experience with NY Studio. The fantastic teachers helped me to build a portfolio that led to my acceptance into top-rated universities such as Carnegie Mellon and Cornell University. Through the one-on-one private instruction, I was able to achieve the school of my dreams while also enjoying myself in a comfortable setting surrounded by other passionate students. I will never forget my time at the studio. Thank you NY Art! I definitely recommend this studio to anyone who is considering a future in art, no matter your background!

Preparing a portfolio is very difficult. When I was preparing my portfolio by myself, I wandered over what and how to draw. However, as I went to this studio, I learned how to draw the topic I wanted to draw. In consultation with the teachers, I learned how to show the subject clearly and draw beautifully. In addition, the studio specializes in not only painting, but also how to deal with 3D and digital works, providing students with a curriculum that is very effective in preparing a portfolio that requires a variety of media. I learned a lot here and got my scholarship for good results and passed the art school. I hope you have made a good connection and results here too.

I was preparing my portfolio at here last year and got into Parsons two months ago. I love NY Art Studio,Awesome teachers,friendly atmosphere,talented people. Every session I see how significantly my skills are improving. All the teachers are super talented, besides teaching skills they also inspired me a lot. The principal Soo and teachers always can give you the best suggestions, Arckii helped me a lot with the application,if you wanna get into your dream school, here is your best choice.

They were very nice and thoroughly explained the set up of the classes during the consultation. I really enjoy painting as a hobby and was looking to expand my skills. The teachers are very knowledgeable, and its reflected in the quality of my paintings.

I like NY ART STUDIO runs a small intimate class and all my classmates are focused and serious what they are doing. It’s quite inspiring. I’m taking a graduate portfolio prep. course. They offer self-study studio access during the business hours but I wish they open late at night.

Great location (you can get there by almost every train in NYC) and flexible schedule! I wanted to do something creative after work at least once a week and I found out you could learn and make your own artwork at your level. I made two paintings for my parents and they were really excited!

This is definitely the best studio if you really want to apply to the art school. The teachers here are really nice and professional as well. While you are preparing your portfolio, you are actually improving your art skill. I really recommend this institution to those who wants to get in art school.

I had limited experience in art before attending NY Art Studio, but through the Portfolio Preparation Class, I was able to improve my technical skills as well as build my portfolio. I really enjoyed working in the studio with teachers who really put in effort to help students develop as artists. Though it was hard work, it definitely paid off, as I was accepted to many prestigious schools, such as Carnegie Mellon University, Washington University in St. Louis, and Rhode Island School of Design. I also received scholarships from Parsons New School, Pratt Institute, and Virginia Commonwealth University. I would definitely recommend this studio to any high school students who are considering majoring in art in college:)

So I was a complete beginner in art and I know people say that you dont need to learn art and just do it but for me I felt I lacked skills or knowledge to get rid of that fear to start my art cause I wanted my work to be good but my skills werent enough to do what I really wanted.. I decided to take private art lessons at NYAS and they helped me with my art and even my confidence so much. It was a short time but I improved so much thank you!!! I got positive feedback on the work I made in the private lessons on the national portfolio day last year and definitely used them in my portfolio to apply to art schools..

I have never seen such a shameless art studio. While they were falsely propagating themselves on the Internet, they ignored those students recruited. In low-quality education in batches, several of their employees have created accounts for some students to create false reviews for themselves. Students can only comment anonymously because they will bully you. Dont be fooled by them.

New York Art Studio is an amazing space to learn from talented instructors despite race, gender, sexual orientation, age, or level of talent. They push their students conceptually with hopes of not only creating beautiful and sophisticated works of art but also to prepare students such as myself for the challenges to come once beginning art and design related programs at universities. Through their guidance and my hard work I will be attending Parsons at The New School this coming September as a student in the Masters of Architecture and Masters of Fine Arts In Lighting Design dual degree program. I learned a lot through the portfolio prep program and am very grateful to all of the faculty members here!

I went to NY art studio for 5 months from India. I prepared my portfolio for fashion design. All the faculty was very helpful and talented. I never felt away from home. Everyone was very caring. fortunately, because of their mentorship I got into all of my dream schools. I feel that if you want the best portfolio with Scholarships then this is the place for you. Thank you.

New York Art Studio is an amazing place to learn from professional instructors. The instructors help the students build up on their experience and skills in Art. They’ve helped me get better in art, and helped me pass the art audition in Laguardia High School. I’m very grateful for their lessons and the amazing art they teach the students to create. Thank you so much!

I recently attended the 2 hour beginner painting class that provides all art supplies. If you are new to drawing classes like me, it was everything you could want from an art class. The teacher was very kind, calm and thoughtful with his instruction. Everyone gets an own project(portrait/still life/ landscape) and the teacher lead you how/what to start. You can really do whatever you want to your canvas - creativity is encouraged :DDuring the class, the teacher would basically go around and see if people needed help and would make suggestions and listen to your ideas. The studio was a very inspiring environment and the people are a full of passion with a commonality of quiet and respectful.It was such a great experience….and definitely going back to NY Art Studio to finish my portrait :)

They offer teen classes that are just regular art classes and specific course also for art high school admissions like la Guardia. I had fun in both classes💖

This art studio is extremely unhelpful and the positive reviews are NOT ACCURATE. None of the staff are helpful and they are extremely rude. All of my college applications were under-prepared and my portfolio was incomplete and I got rejected from almost all of the colleges I applied to. The other reviews are all bot generated and family accounts to help hide the sheer lack of attention and quality service of this studio. I have personally overheard the manager talk about faking reviews with others. If you are looking for good college art preparation, I strongly advise you do not come to this studio unless you wish to pay large sums for poor services. The management also has an extremely strong korean accent that makes her almost incomprehensible.

Inspiring place to make art. I have been in their adult art class to work on painting projects with the teachers there. They guide me along very well with foundations that I need in painting. Wish they were open on sundays too!

New York Art Studio has a phenomenal staff, as well as incredibly helpful teachers. The degree of kindness, efficiency, and professionalism was absolutely lovely. I have New York Art Studio to thank for helping me to put together my portfolio. Would definitely recommend.

New York Art Studio has been a great experience for me. The teachers are hands on and really help you to further your skills and portfolio! Will definitely be recommending to my friends interested in taking their skills to the next level!!

Was there to look around and for a consultation! cozy vibes and the consultant was savvy and quick to assist me through! my only pet peeve would be that they dont really offer one-off group classes but on another note they are willing to customize a class schedule for you especially if you work

Was there in the Visual Art Foundation program. The teachers are nice and really know a lot of art. I learned more than just painting. Thank you guys!

I made great friends with not just my classmates but the teachers and staff there! They are so fun and inspiring to be around with!! You are the besttt😜😜👊👊

NY Art Studio is a great intimate environment to learn art for people in all levels. They have recreational classes for those who are complete beginners, and then they have Portfolio Prep classes for those who are looking to pursue a career/degree in art. When you walk in, youll get to see all these art school posters which their students ended up attending! Its an intimate space with great teacher/student ratio (1:1!), they will take care of you very closely. Very accommodating staff, great teachers.

They helped my daughter with her art portfolio and art audition to get into Frank Sinatra & La Guardia Art High School! Great art class and professional & caring teachers! And great location!! We might definitely come back if my daughter or even myself needs to just make creative art with them.

They are great in helping artistically talented kids develop more skills and techniques so that they can have a nice body of works to show.

I wanted to learn more about drawing and painting. I learned how to use acrylic here and also how to draw better. thank you!! I will come back in a few months to work more on mixed media. The staff there is all so nice and kind ;)

I went New York Art Studio for about two years. And I really enjoyed working in the studio. I used to go to New York Art Studio everyday so I worked with almost every teachers they have and each teachers have certain subject that they are expert at so you can experience many style of teaching if you take various classes. Also they took care about my portfolio and my work more than anybody. Because of their help I was awarded in many art competitions and I got accepted in Ringling College. My two year experience in New York Art Studio was totally worth it.

Be aware. Once they lure you into their program that teaches you absolutely nothing, they will treat you like trash. Besides the poor portfolio preparation, the instructors and the management are extremely rude and speak with an obnoxious Korean accent that is almost too hard to understand. Stay away at all costs.

Thank you NY Art Studio! Due to your passionate teachers and amazing program, you helped me get into my dream school as well as all other schools I applied to with amazing scholarships! This studio helped me create my dream portfolio from scratch that was both unique to my personality and chosen major.

Ive taken portfolio developemtn classes before here and there and i feel like the works i made here are really my faves :) the teachers really taught me how to think like an artist. learned a lot thank you

I took Portfolio package course. I only attended for four months but I could make a great portfolio. I had experience of making portfolio with other art studio but it was really embarrassing to show and hand in as a portfolio to schools due to lack of qualities. However, though NY art studio, I could create a detailed and sophiscated portfolio in a short period of time. Also, teachers are so nice there. They helped me since creating portfolio to summit it to schools with cares and attentions. Thus, Ive admitted to FIT and I really want to say thank you to NY Art Studio.

The instructors are passionate of what they are doing! I started as a beginner not with too much of expectation for myself. But with these beautiful instructors passions and patience toward me(haha thanks to them), I got accepted to my dream school Parsons!! Thank you for all the efforts!! Also thank you for believing in me and pushed me to do the works by the deadline!

Really help me prep for college portfolio, and I feel that the simple ambiance was helpful. Not a bustling school but more so quiet and you get what you need to get done there.

Amazing staff who truly care about their clients. Perfect quality of work and great professionalism. NYart studio surpassed all of my expectations.

The teachers here are not professional, and all kinds of design courses are taught by one teacher. This teacher also teaches costume design, interior design, product design and more. This teacher are not proficient in the course and has a heavy Korean accent. (anonymity prevents retaliation)

Thank you New York Art Studio! I had a great experience. All teachers are passionate and very helpful!!! Also, there are many talented students. You will be able to create artworks to achieve your goals at New York Art Studio!!!

I worked on my parsons portfolio here the past couple years. I started at the beginning of my junior year but didnt have enough time during school year so I only attended class on saturdays and did an intensive program this summer. I just finished my portfolio for my parsons application and Im extremely satisfied with what Ive done here!! Without them I know that my portfolio would have looked so different, probably not as good as it is haha thank you to kyeom, soo, eunsun, and eugina who helped me all along!! I feel really good about my portfolio and hope to hear back good news from them

I had a great experience with New York Art Studio. They truly care about all students there and all of them had great results! Teachers are very experienced, so they know exactly how to lead students.

I didnt know there was a portfolio prep school or a sort before I came here. I prepared architecture portfolio at nyas and it was very helpful. I got to include some really strong projects in my portfolio that I wouldnt have been able to do on my own. Kyeom was so helpful in polishing my works and I am very thankful for that!

Cool teachers and great community.. i started coming to this school because i was just interested in art but I felt my school didnt have many good art classes that i wanted but ever since I started my class here i improved so much and i decided and ended up applying to laguardia and got accepted!! they helped me with my audition cause they have a class for that kindof stuff too.. thank you!! the teachers are so creative and amazing artists!!

I was looking for panting classes in Manhattan area. Ive visited three different studios and had consultations with all of them. Although the studio was not too spacy, I loved how the instructors are very nice and friendly with their students. I wanted a studio that can teach me foundation skills with patience and passion. During and by the end of my package I knew that I really made a great decision choosing New York Art Studio. Had learned so many things and so much fun!!! :^)

I was just there for a consultation for college portfolio preparation and the consultant was very informative and nice.. its not a big school, but they were very knowlegable about art school portfolio making and admission process very well.

Last summer I enrolled in New York Art Studio’s portfolio intensive track, and I have positive things to say about my experience. My instructors were all incredibly knowledgeable, and they all knew exactly how to push my skills in order to create a portfolio that truly reflected the best of my abilities. I ended up receiving acceptances and scholarship offers from my top schools, which included RCAD, CCAD, SVA, MASSART and SCAD. Additionally, as an international student in a new city, the studio was incredibly helpful when it came to making sure I settled in and was comfortable.

Great fashion illustration class! Learn how to design a collection for my own.

I took the private lesson here to get some art experience in NYC. The teacher is very nice and helpful.

I attended New York Art Studio for 2 years and took the basic portfolio prep and summer classes. Before, I had very little experience in art and had never taken a drawing class previously. I found NY Art online and went in for a consultation with the director. I felt at ease with her and she assured me nothing but the best from both her and the teachers who taught there, which is just what I got from the studio; everyone is extremely supportive, kind, and want to see their students succeed. They taught me so much in such limited time and the teachers really do know what they are doing. Many of them have successfully challenged me to become more creative, which is something not all schools can do properly.I have since been accepted into all of my top schools (️Parsons, FIT and UAL) and have received the highest amount of merit scholarship available. I would not have been able to do any of this without the help of NY Art and I would highly recommend this studio to anyone who is considering a career in the arts/fashion or even to a beginner in the creative world because you will learn so much regardless of your skill level.

Started off with a hobby class and got my portfolio done over years and got into Pratt, MICA, SAIC RISD and few more that i applied to except one with a super low acceptance rate. Well I had fun anyways and got a lot out of the place. Thank you for your help!

NY Art Studio not only helped me with preparing portfolio and applications for art schools, but also with my artistic skills and creativity. After I finished the Intensive Program at NY Art Studio, I got accepted to one of the best art schools in New York City. I am definitely planning to come back for my graduate school preparation.

I took the regular portfolio prep course with NY Art studio, and I had some experience coming in but not much. I was looking to transfer from BMCC to a 4 year arts program and needed help making my portfolio. The instructors were all very nice and helpful, and thanks to their instruction I was admitted to Purchase and Hunter college, and will be transferring to Purchase in the fall.

I am an international student, and I thought I wasnt good enough to go to art colleges in America. But I made my portfolio at new york art, they help me get into my dream school, which was Parsons. I also got scholarships. Whenever I was not feeling up to it the teachers inspired and encouraged me a lot ;]

New York Art Studio was a huge help to me in that I needed advice if my portfolio was going in the right direction. They helped me a lot with coming up with creative ideas, drawing skills, and how to finish up artworks. I got accepted to all the famous art schools, including MICA, SAIC, Pratt, SVA, and RISD, and some of them with scholarships, and I am very excited to start my first semester as an official art student now!

New York Art Studio and their instructors helped me so much with my parsons challenge that I didnt know what to do with.. I took private lessons last minute and they really helped me step my game up with my creativity and level of completion in a really short time😭😭thank you

They are very welcoming! if you need art lessons to work on your art skills wouldnt look elsewhere haha

The consultants are nice and just straightforwardly answered the things that i wanted to know. will be back here to make my art portfolio for college in a few months :-)

Incredible teaching skills, really helps to develop a solid portfolio.

A good art school! I made a lot of friends there!

I decided to go there cuz I really have no idea what should I draw for portfolio. In NYartstudio, they teach students 1 by 1 because everyones work is different. Also, u can get help from other teachers if u choose to go different day. (it makes various portfolios) Even though I visited there 1 per every week, I got accepted from most of top art colleges. (Pratt, SVA, Ringling) Also, I got $10,000 scholarship from Ringling and $14,000 from Pratt. I really thanks to them.

The best consultation Ive ever had for art portfolio preparation program.After the director Soo looked through my portfolio, she suggested a very clear vision to upgrade it, based on her previous experience teaching a similar student like me. And the story encouraged me a lot and I felt so confident that I can achieve my goal if I take classes at NYAS.The teachers respected me as an artist (even though I was just a student then) and I liked how they treated their students. They are very smart, kind, talented and insightful. They basically knew all the answers youd have as a prospective BFA/MFA student, regarding portfolio preparation, application process, even becoming a great artist.If you are an international student or first time living in NYC, this is like your second home in the city. They help student with all the resources you could ever imagine (housing, health, activities etc). Ive also met great friends here and we still hang out after the course is done.I got accepted in SVA, Parsons, Pratt and NYU and Im so thankful to NYAS for everything they have done for me.

I had no academic art experience and I took the full package for Master, it was very helpul, I got admistted by SVA MFA and scholar ship from Pratt mfa and SAIC MFA. The teacher is super helpful and inspirational, I would never be able to acoomplish the result without the help of the studio!

Bad quilty of teaching.

Excellent place for improving your art sense

Come here if you want to waste money.

Bad experience

The pass rate is very high and the teachers give you practical and positive feedback from the know-how accumulated over the long term with regards to the POOL. Of course, I am able to make works in good atmosphere every time even if I am not a general school prep class. Students and general public are encouraged ^ ^

My high school friends introduced me to study here, and I have always liked it very much. I will be in my second year of high school next semester, so they told me that taking summer courses is very suitable for me, because I only need regular training for the time being, but I may need to pay more attention to my portfolio. This summer will be very interesting: D
