I truly love this school. From the very beginning, I felt supported and motivated to learn. I had never worked with watercolors before, and I was honestly a little nervous at first, but the teachers were incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging. They took the time to explain every technique step by step, making the learning process enjoyable and stress-free. Thanks to this experience, I discovered a new appreciation for watercolors and gained confidence in my artistic abilities. In addition to that, I also learned how to use Photoshop, which was an amazing and valuable skill to add to my creative toolbox.
I'm student of PI Art, and really liked my experience, I'm taking my second semester and one of the most is "Photography in the Urban Landscape class by Leonard Yang. Because we went out to take pictures and live a different experience where self-exploration and freedom allows in photography you to express yourself from a personal perspective.
PI Art Center was a great place for me to start building my art portfolio. The schedule is flexible, the tuition is affordable for a school in NYC, and there’s a solid variety of classes. I’d recommend it to anyone with some art experience looking to develop personal projects, or to those wanting to learn basic creative skills. One thing to note is that the class information on their Tumblr site is a bit outdated, and some details are missing. This can make it hard at first to know what each class will cover. However, most instructors are open and willing to explain the focus of their classes. I’d recommend taking the time to sit in on a few and ask questions to find the classes that better suit your goals.
