Student Testimonials |
 As a parent of a student, I found the Stevens Academy and their teachers to be professional, talented and highly specialized within their individual areas. Esthetically, I found the school to be pleasant lending itself to creating the perfect environment for the Arts. For those that either need to structure their individual portfolios or to take an art class to improve themselves or acquire new techniques, I highly recommend your institution. Keep up the great work! ~ Parent Testimonial: Mr. Vincenzo D. All my kids are now grown and learning how to paint has been on the back burner for years, so I began my studies at SAFA. I thought this new avocation would be easy. I have been frustrated at times but I am starting to get it. I am seeing a difference in my work and understanding so much more. Every time I look at something in the world I think how would I paint this, or how does the light affect the shadows or what would I mix to get this color. Painting is complex but not impossible to learn, the concept has nothing to do with being talented, if you are willing to give it a chance and be persistent you will learn and be happy in this house of art. We are family in a way, we have fun, we laugh, we hear and share stories. Our mentor is an artist in his own right; Our teachers are encouraging, and patient always looking for the positives, and telling us repeatedly you can do this. Come see for yourself. The school has great events too! ~ Student Testimonial: Andrea F. I love the pottery class! Peggy is kind, patient, and a lot of fun. I look forward to coming to class. ~ Student Testimonial: LuAnne |

| I am so glad to have found
the Stevenson Academy. It's a wonderful place to learn and Attila's
patience and encouragement really helped me overcome some hurdles
in the past 6 months. He's the genuine article: a painter AND
an excellent teacher. He really opens students to the secrets and
to the magic of the process. It's also a beautiful studio and my friend
and I have met very nice people there. I highly recommend the Academy
for all levels of artists, from beginner to advanced, you'll be a
better artist at the end of a single term! ~ Student Testimonial: Elizabeth W. I did not imagine that I could have learned this scope of knowledge in two years. Not only have I been able to perfect my ability to draw a simple apple and pear, but I have been able to learn to see color and mix pigments that match the color I see. it is an extraordinary experience at a price point which is absolutely reasonable. I highly recommend the Stevenson academy of Art for anyone with a desire to become a fine artist. ~ Student Testimonial: John P. I have attended the Stevenson Academy of Fine Arts for one year. SAFA provides everything I was looking for in art instruction; the instructors are knowledgeable in the fine arts field and professional. I don't think I could do better, and my time at the academy is very enjoyable! ~ Student Testimonial: George Z. I began taking classes in 1984 with Alma and Harold Stevenson. I had the pleasure of Mr. Stevenson instructions for nearly a year prior to his passing, I stayed with Alma for several years after that. I resumed my classes approximately eight years ago. When Attila began teaching I was very anxious to join his class. He is an extraordinary teacher and person. I am truly grateful for the experience and knowledge I have gained from the Stevenson Academy. ~Student Testimonial: Janet P. Stevenson is a wonderful place offering a creative, supportive environment. The atmosphere of the school is both professional yet intimate. This is the right place to come for anyone looking to expressive themselves creatively. ~Student Testimonial: Tracy I've always been very anti-traditional art instruction. I always thought that figuring out the rules of art on your own through practice was the best way. But when I went to Stevenson's, they taught me the basic basic basic stuff that was a totally necessary foundation to learning anything more and moving forward. The simple things that they taught me there gave me such a huge leg up in learning more complicated things on my own. There are something you just need to be taught- and Stevenson teaches them really well. ~Student Testimonial: TG I have taken many classes at various ateliers and schools and I never received the training I have received at The Stevenson Academy with Attila. It is only here that I have learned and am still learning how to see. Attila said we would look at the world differently - how right he was! The traditional training one gets here is taught at very few places and was never taught at any of the schools and ateliers I attended. This is the very best place to be and learn. Come join us you be amazed at what you will learn at The Stevenson Academy. ~Student Testimonial: Carole As a clay sculpture student, I had everything I needed to create - inspiration (wonderful models), excellent instruction (highly skilled, extremely talented teachers) and a very comfortable, well equipped studio. My experience at the Stevenson Academy was a memorable one. ~Student Testimonial: Connie F., Levittown, NY |
