Art College Portfolio Preparation. Drawing, Painting (optional Sculpture).

Over the years, Bridgeview students have been accepted into the best BFA and MFA programs in the country including Cornell University, California Art Institute, FIT, Parsons, RISDI, SVA, Pratt, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, New York Academy of Art, Repin Academy of Art in Russia. Most Bridgeview alumni have received some type of scholarship and some received full scholarships after presenting their Bridgeview portfolio.

New York Times article titled "Portfolio Prep" mentioned Bridgeview as one of the best Portfolio Preparation programs in the country.

In the course of this class which should be taken for more than one semester, students will learn a variety of techniques and media (watercolor, acrylics, guash, pencils, pastels and etc). They will draw and paint from observation from still life setups and a live model. Those who wish to have three-dimensional work in their portfolio, can choose to sculpt in clay in addition to drawing and painting.

This class is taught by an award winning artist Tatyana Zhurkov, whose work is in major museums including the Smithsonian in Washington DC and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Saturday 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. $420 for two months (July and August)

Materials for this class are not included. Students will be given a list of supplies they would need to bring depending on their own choice of media.

Art College Portfolio Preparation. Drawing at the Metropolitan Museum.

This class is for adults, but high school students are also welcome. There is nothing more inspiring than studying the masterpieces at the Met. This is an instructed class taught by Tatyana Zhurkov who will provide step by step guidance and critiques. The class will meet 8 consecurive Fridays from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Met. Tatyana Zhurkov is a Bridgeview instructor, whose work is in major museums includig the Smithsonian Institute in Washington and the Hermitage in Russia. This is a great class for students working to create a college portfolio. However, it should not be viewed as a substitute to other Bridgeview classes that focus on learning from observation (from live models or still life).
