I was a fine art student at SVA way back in the early 70's when they were not accredited but in 1992 with a few more classes from Grossmont college in San Diego,CA I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. I rode the train every day from Jersey about an hour in and an hour back.I loved it there. Best teachers for me were Harvey Dinnerstein for painting and Mr. Martinez for drawing. In between class I would play harmonica or flute in one of the obscure stairways for an hour or two and sometimes head down to the village to buy tickets at the Fillmore East. Great time, great school.
