The cost of the class is $100/month. To enroll, please contact Ms. Kudlow at studio@judithpondkudlow.com or 917-492-1923.
NYK Academy student drawing on the cover of Drawing Magazine
For a fall 2009 special edition of Drawing Magazine, Editor-in-Chief M. Stephen Doherty's feature article "The Revival of an Influential Drawing Course" discusses Charles Bargue and Jean-Leon Gerome's Cours de Dessin, popular in the 19th century, forgotten with the rise of Modernism, and revived in recent years. NYK Academy is one of the schools that currently teach the famous course and a Bargue plate drawing by student Jayme del Rosario was chosen as the cover of the magazine.
Expansion of Harlem Studio
The Harlem Studio has expanded, with NYK Academy now occupying the entire second floor of the building.
