Student Testimonials - School of Visual Arts, New York

Shawn Gooden (BFA 2006 Fine Arts)
“I realize that this experience is coming soon to an end, but I know that I am going to be leaving with a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience under my belt. From art history classes taught by historians that are close colleagues of successful artists, to having my school being located in the epicenter of the contemporary art world, I am being provided with the best of information from both perspectives in the art community. As a growing artist, I could not ask for a better location, access to information and networking. I feel I am truly being taught valuable knowledge. ”

Aaron Weber (BFA 2005 Computer Art)
“At SVA I have not only had the opportunity to learn from an outstanding faculty, but I have also been able to collaborate with students from other departments to create something bigger than any one person could do alone.”

Sung Yoon Choi (MFA 2006 Illustration as Visual Essay)
“What I love the most about my program is that we have studio space to work with other people, and the teachers push us to work as hard as we can. I learned not only from the teachers but also from the students I share the studio with from different academic and ethnic backgrounds. The most important process of making images for an artist, I think, is experimenting. Here I can get access to any sort of experimentation and the teachers encourage us to explore without limitation. ”
