Life drawing is offered at both schools. She moves to New York City, where she lives briefly with Jennifer "Jimpie" Lurie.

Autumn: At The New School, Schneemann takes courses including "The Expressionist Image in Painting and Drawing," "Etching and Printing," "Styles Through the Ages," "The Human Trinity: Truth, Faith, Freedom," "Proust," "Greek Art and Philosophy," "Sculpture," and "Intellectual History of Modern Europe."

We have done a terrible injustice to ourselves in continuing to marginalize Schneemann as an 'angry woman' or 'bad girl.' To pigeonhole her art as aberrant is to risk reducing her oeuvre to sensationalism."
