"Where to study fine art / pencilworks in the USA?"

I am just thinking about getting into an artschool somewhere (in the US perhaps), so if theres somebody who knows which school is the best / most affordable / nicest please let me know. I dont know nothing (yet) about schools over there (or anywhere else), but since this portrait drawing seems not to be very profitable here in Finland, this is one option coming up.

So if somebody (pros and ams) knows about these schools, let me know. I am sure many other amateur artists would also be interested in this subject

Take a look at the art college in Savannah Ga. The link is

www.scad.edu

I have a friend that teaches there and from when I have gone over there it was nothing but art.

The line between failure and success is so thin that just one more effort will get it.

Thanks Liqidice. Any other suggestions? Maybe somewhere near NYC?

I've never been to Art School myself.. Kindof leery about any of them to be honest..

I've seen too much of what is called art these days, and do not have nearly the same opinion of what they are producing as they do.. When I first started oil painting I bought about a dozen books.. After seeing what was on this site and on www.portrait-art.com, I threw all but one out.

If I could go to a school where Alexei Antonov, Frank Covino, and J.D. Hillberry were teaching (or people I knew were like them in philosophy and ability) I would feel altogether differently..

In spite of this, the one I have looked at the most is SORA (School of Representational Art) in Chicago.. (www.representational-art.com)

You might also look at www.classicalrealism.com..

following is a list of ateliers & schools..

From my totally ignorant and uneducated perspective, these seem to be places where "Art" is taught..

I would be interested in knowing what Alexei, Frank, and J.D. think on these matters..
