Antonio Coro, "Finding Your Artist's Voice" and youth Portfolio Prep
|
ANTONIO CORO Began classical art training in the Dalia Condis Art School in New Jersey at the age of 11. He received his B.F.A. from Jersey City State College in 1990, and his M.F.A. from Rutger's University in 1992.
Mr. Coro has won; the Liquitex Fine Art Achievement in 1987, The Brendan Byrne Fellowship (Rutger's) in 1990, Rutger's teaching fellowship in 1991, The Pollock-Krasner grant in 2006, and The Mas grant in 2020. He has been exhibiting professionally since 1986. My Teaching Philosophy: I believe art is a language and we must understand its elements (composition, chiaroscuro, perspective etc.). However, as a teacher I use the Socratic method of pulling out from the student's point of view. I try not to enforce my personal aesthetics but help them find their voice and make it stronger. |
