Earn a Fine Arts Degree from one of New York’s Top Fine Arts Schools
What is fine arts? Since the Renaissance, the fine arts have been understood as an intellectual discipline equal to literature. Fine art disciplines like painting, photography, printmaking, jewelry, sculpture and integrated practices have certainly played a major role in the formation of contemporary visual imagination.
At PrattMWP, the relationship between art and design is fluid and symbiotic. As a fine arts college, we believe immersion in a milieu rich in both traditions is the best training for a fine artist. Pratt is ranked as one of the top fine art schools because of our heralded curriculum, faculty, and programs. At PrattMWP, students benefit from a rare 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio that ensures they receive close attention from top faculty – which they might not acquire at other fine arts schools.
