Overview

Our integrated curriculum educates students in specific fine arts disciplines but also in the complex interrelation of all visual vocabularies. Through courses in the humanities, the social sciences, the sciences, and the history and theory of art, the Art program at Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art invites students to expand their studio education across disciplines and subjects.

Key Features

In the Foundation Building, skylight ceilings flood abundant natural daylight throughout a number of classrooms, workrooms and student studio spaces.

Most studio classrooms are equipped with easels, model stands, palette tables, and sawhorse tables. Common workrooms are furnished with slop sinks, worktables and storage racks to accommodate the preparation and storage of artwork.

Seminar classrooms provide seating for between fifteen and seventy five people. Four classrooms in the Foundation Building are fitted with digital projectors and sound and video connections. Two multimedia classrooms at 41 Cooper Square are equipped with high-deﬁnition projection teaching stations, and with Apple MacPros, which are connected to the Internet via T1 lines.
