"Art School Confidential" follows talented young artist Jerome Platz (Max
Minghella) as he escapes from high school to a tiny East Coast art school. Here
the boyish freshman’s ambition is to become the world’s greatest artist, like
his hero Picasso.
Unfortunately, the beauty and craft of Jerome’s portraiture
are not appreciated in an anything-goes art class. Neither his harsh judgments
of his classmates’ efforts nor his later attempts to create pseudo-art of his
own win him any admirers.
But Jerome does attract the attentions of his dream
girl, the stunning and sophisticated Audrey (Sophia Myles), an artist’s model
and daughter of a celebrated artist. Rejecting the affectations of the local art
scene, Audrey is drawn to Jerome’s sincerity.
When Audrey shifts her attention
to Jonah (Matt Keeslar), a hunky painter who becomes the school’s latest art
star, Jerome is heartbroken. Desperate, he concocts a risky plan to make a name
for himself and win her back.
