Bridgeview School of Fine Arts, Queens NY: Bridgeview School of Fine Arts in Queens, New York City, is a professional art studio specializing in College Portfolio Preparation, Drawing, Painting and Sculpture classes for children and adults. The Bridgeview approach is based on the centuries-old techniques developed by generations of European masters. These techniques were painstakingly preserved in Russia through the 20th century while they were much forgotten in the west.
Bridgeview faculty fully represents the European classical tradition. Almost every member of the Bridgeview faculty can trace his lineage to a great 19th century artist. While artists in Western Europe and America were turning towards abstraction, the Russian academies, isolated by the Iron Curtain, adhered to the classical methods of art education.
Student Testimonials: "What I enjoyed most about working with Samuel Kudish was the fact that his passion for art came through in everything he said...He understands the role that honesty plays in making good paintings, and I found this refreshing and incredibly helpful." - Elizabeth, portrait painter.
"Once again, thank you for the wonderful portrait sculpture workshop. Those were five of the best days I've had in a long time. Not only did I learn a great deal from Larissa and Vitaly, but I felt truely inspired by the atmosphere of the class. It was fun without ever being silly or trivial, serious without being oppressive, and very creative without being false. I will recommend your school to the serious students."
- Ted , sculptor and graduate of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia.

The Jewelry Arts Institute (JAI) in New York has been committed to researching, preserving and teaching the jewelry making techniques of the Classical Period for over 30 years, passing on these nearly lost traditions to students from all corners of the world. Located at 22 East 49th Street in Midtown Manhattan, we teach all classical jewelry techniques in every class. These techniques are granulation in silver and 22k gold, Byzantine enameling, classical chain making, classical settings, lapidary and other related techniques.
Since all projects are taught by one-on-one demonstration, students of all levels can be enrolled in all classes. This is true for both the semester classes and the intensive workshops. We have a teacher for every five or six students so the student receives a lot of attention. If a student were to complete all of the many projects we have developed, he/she would end up with a complete background of classical jewelry techniques.
