CONTENTS

Admission ........................... 37
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is the alma mater of
many of the most important artists who comprise the history of
American art and has been the founding place of important art
movements and directions.

Calendar, 1971-1972 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In keeping with its founding traditions the Academy has developed
a studio environment and study program of total commitment to
the fine arts. An opportunity for pure study in the disciplines of
painting, sculpture and graphics is presented here without the intrusion of any degree oriented courses or consideration of commercial
application.

Course Description . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20

The integrity of this program will appeal to the serious student
artist who feels the need for complete concentration on the problems of aesthetic and technical excellence. It is the purpose of this
school to encourage the student to acquire the widest possible art
experience and relate it to his particular needs. The school by its
philosophy avoids any fixed development program to which the
student must conform. From the basic skills and orientation studies
of the first year to the highly individual and specialized instruction
of the advanced studios each student's work is appraised on the
basis of his own personal expression.

Evening School .................... . .. 38

This will be of particular interest to the student who has acquired
a degree and seeks a stimulating professional environment in which
to reevaluate and expand his aesthetic concepts and strengthen his
techniques. Conversely, a student who is interested in obtaining
a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree may combine studio credits earned
at the Academy with liberal arts credits earned at the Philadelphia
College of Art to qualify for the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. *

HISTORY

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts is the oldest art institution in the United States. Its origin dates from
1791 , when Charles Willson Peale initiated efforts to oruanize a school for the fine arts in Philadelphia. This resulted
in ~he: f.or.mati~n of the C.olumbianum in 1794. In 1795~ under the auspices .of that ass.ociation, the first exhibition of
pamtmg. m PhIladelphia was held in Pennsylvania's old State House, better known today as Independence Hall. T~ e
C~l~mbla.n~m was ultimately succeeded by the present Academy. In 1805, in Independence Hall, seventy.-one pubbc
sp~nted citizens met for formal organization. The gathering was a distinguished one and included the artists Charles
WII~son Peale, William Rush, Rembrandt Peale. At that meeting the petition for the incorporation of ~he Pennsylvama Academy of the Fine Arts was prepared. The charter was .obtained in March of 1806, creatmg the new
?rg~nization "To promote the cultivati.on of the Fine Arts in the United States of America (and to) enlighten and
mVlgorate the talents of our c.ountrymen".

PRELIMINARY DIVISION-Students entering the Academy
for tbe first time are admitted to the Preliminary studios. Only
upon special recommendation of the Admissions Committee
may new students be admitted to the advanced studios. The
Preliminary discipline enables the student to survey the fundamentals of Drawing, Painting, Sculpture and Graphics.
At the conclusion of the second semester each Preliminary
student will be admitted to the division of his choice (Painting, Graphics or Sculpture) provided his record shows a complete and satisfactory registration of work together with the
approval of tbe artists to whose studios he has been assigned.
The Preliminary studio schedule is as follows:
Life Painting-6 hours per week, painting from the life
model.
Composition and Still Life Painting-6 hours per week with
emphasis on design, color, texture and composition.
Drawing-9 hours per week divided between cast drawing
and drawing from the life model.
Graphics-6 hours per week-the study of the major techniques of print making and their use in creative work.

Anatomy-This series of lectures is an elective and is presented as an aid to the student artist and as a supplement
to his studio work.

P AINTlNG DIVISION-Students electing to enter the Painting Division will be assigned studios in Drawing, Life and Portrait painting. They are encouraged to pursue special projects
and to emphasize individual explorations in style, medium and
content under the critical guidance of the Faculty. It is expected
that students in the Painting Division will complete at least two
semesters in the open studios before they apply for assignment
to an individual studio. Upon recommendation of the artists of
the Faculty to whom they are assigned Painting students may
be privileged to work in individual studios. They will be required
to receive criticism of work done in their studios from at least
three artists of the Faculty, a minimum of once each month.
These artists may also recommend the return to the painting
studios if in their opinion the student is not benefited by the
assignment to individual studios.
All studio facilities and lectures are open to the use of painting students assigned to individual studios.

Clay Modeling-3 hours per week-instruction in modeling
from hfe and portrait models. Three dimensional design.
Perspective and Lettering-l hour per week-this instruction
is a prerequisite for students who will enter the advanced
division in Painting or Graphics.
Materials and Techniques-l hour per week-this instruction is a prerequisite for students who will enter the advanced
division in Painting or Graphics.
History of Art-l hour per week-this illustrated lecture
cOUf.se is a ~rerequisite for promotions from the preliminary
StU?lOS and IS presented from the standpoint of the practicing
artist rather than the art historian.

20

GRAPHICS DIVISION-Students electing to enter the
Graphics Division will be assigned studios in Drawing, Painting
and Composition but the major studio assignment will be in
Graphics. It is expected that students in the Graphics Division
will complete at least two semesters in the open studios before
they apply for assignment to an individual studio. Upon recommendation of the artists of the Faculty to whom they are assigned the Graphics student may be privileged to work in an
individual studio. They will be required to receive c.riticism of
work done in their studio from at least three artists of the
Faculty a minimum of once each month. These artists may also

•

withdraw the use of the studio if in their opinion the student is
not benefiting from the privilege.
All studios, facilities and lectures are open to the use of
Graphics students assigned to individual studios.
SCULPTURE DIVISION-Students may enter the Sculpture
Division directly upon admission to the Academy or they may
elect to enter the division upon promotion from the Preliminary
Division. The Sculpture studios are devoted to clay modeling
from the human figure and head. Individual projects involving
wood carving, welding, stone carving, kiln firing or molding of
plastic may be pursued under the supervision of an instructor.
Upon recommendation of the artists of the Sculpture Faculty
individual students may be assigned private studios where projects outside the scope of the regular studios may be pursued.
The privilege of a private studio may be withdrawn if in the
opinion of the Faculty the student has not benefited therefrom.
REGULATIONS & REGISTRATION-The Academy realizes that maximum freedom fosters creative effort and permits
unusual devotion to the artist's self-discipline. The minimal
regulations will not interfere with artistic effort and in fact are
found to aid in that effort. Therefore these regulations are to
be met for the student to be eligible for promotion, individual
studio privileges, scholarships, prizes and travel awards. Furthermore those students who desire to apply the credit for studio
work done at the Academy toward an Academic degree must
have a complete record of registration as well as a Faculty evaluation of the quality of the work. This record will constitute a
proper transcript for the Academic University or College.
Registration requirements are satisfied when each student has
registered one piece of work each month with each of the artists
assigned to him. Sculpture students are required to register one
figure, one head, one sculpture done without a model and five
drawings each month.

FOUR YEAR CERTIFICATE-The Pennsylvania Academy
of the Fine Arts grants its Certificate to students who have
satisfactorily completed four years of study in the Academy
Schools, or the equivalent according to the Academy requirements. Only students whose records are complete according to
the final decision of the School Administration, are eligible for
these Certificates. By special arrangement work done in the
Evening or Summer schools may be credited.
BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS DEGREE-Because the
Academy is devoted exclusively to the study of the Fine Arts
it is not a degree granting institution. "The Philadelphia College
of Art recognizes attainment of the Academy's certificate as
satisfying the studio credit requirements for its Bachelor of
Fine Arts degree. With Academy endorsement based upon
high school graduation and a secondary school transcript
judged creditable by the Academy, a student may register in
liberal arts at PCA any time after beginning Academy enrollment.
The BFA degree-credit candidate will be considered to have
fulfilled PCA's studio requirements upon receipt of the Academy's certificate.
The candidate may begin to earn the required 46 liberal arts
credits* in any semester during his four-year studio program
or after being awarded the Academy's certificate. Subject to
Academy requirements, he may register f?r. any number .of
liberal arts credits per semester. Upon sUbmiSSiOn of an offiCial
transcript of prior liberal arts study, he may be awarded a
maximum 12 transfer credits toward PCA's requirements for
the BFA degree."
The Philadelphia College of Art is located at Broad and
Pine Streets within walking distance of the Academy. The
schedule of classes is designed to permit maximum use of
studio hours.

THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRAYELING SCHOLARSHIPS
By the liberal provisions of the wills of Emlen Cresson. and
Priscilla P ., his wife, a Fund has been created as a memonal to
their deceased son, William Emlen ~resson, AcademicIan, the
income from which is to be applIed by the PennsylvanIa
Academy of the Fine Arts in sending pupils of merit to Europe.
These scholarships shall be awarded under such rules and regulations as shall be adopted from time to time by the Board of
Directors of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. The
award of Cresson Scholarships has had significant influence on
hundreds of recipients over many years and has been a great
boon to this Academy. In the Spring of 1969 the one thousandth
award was made. To emphasize the importance of these awards
and to broaden the advantages to our students, and because the
Fund realizes very generous income each year, the Management, through its Committee on Instruction, has established the
practice of approving the recommendation of th.e Faculty for
either first or second awards. These scholarships were first
awarded in 1902 .

In 1970, the award of a Cresson Traveling Scholarship credited
each student with $2,400 of which $1,500 was used for a sum~er of travel and traveling expenses in Europe, and the remainmg $900 was used for Academy tuition for the two terms
immed!atel~ ~ollowing. Each year th~ sums may vary, as adjustments m tUItIOn charges and travelIng expenses dictate. Each
recipient is required to return to the Academy for the continuance of regular studio work in an additional year as an advanced
student. He is expected to help set high professional standards
among our students after his return from Europe. In cases of
exceptional merit, and when a very decided improvement is
eVident, a student may, through the same authority, receive the
award a second time. Competition for a second scholarship must
be entered during the year succeeding the first award unless
otherwise ruled by the Committee on Instruction on' written
applicati.on. The .award of a Cre~son Traveling Scholarship the
second tIme credits the student With the sum established for that
year to be .used ~or. travel and .traveling expenses, and may be
used any tIme wlthm twenty-eight months after receipt of the
award.

The recipient of a second traveling scholarship is
granted the sum for travel and travel expenses and a
general acco unting must be made and filed in the
school office within three months of the end of its use.
The student is not required to return for another period of study but may apply for free tuition should additional study be advisable. Use of free tuition under
such circumstances may be regulated and arranged
with the Administrator of the schools.
The Faculty will not recommend awards of traveling
scholarships if, in its opinion, the work submitted is
not of sufficient merit to justify such recommendation .
A student may not be awarded more than one traveling

THE LEWIS S. WARE MEMORIAL TRAVELING
SCHOLARSHIPS-The Lewis S. Ware Memorial
Traveling Scholarships in accordance with the will of
the testator provide European Traveling Scholarships
in amount and under regulations similar to those of
Cresson Scholarships of that year. These Scholarships
will be awarded according to the income available on
the recommendation of the Faculty by the Board of

Scholarships were first awarded in 1938 and one Ware
Traveling Scholarship was awarded in 1970 representing an amount of $1500.
THE 1. HENRY SCHIEDT MEMORIAL TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS-The J. Henry Schiedt Memorial Scholarships in accordance with the will of
Cornelia Schiedt, provide for the award of Traveling

to students of outstanding merit. Eligibility for this
competition will be based on the same requirements
as set up for Cresson Awards of that year. These scholarships are not specifically designed for European
travel. It is therefore possible, under certain circumstances, fo r a competing student to make application
to the Administrator of the Schools at least three
months before the date of competition for a particular
program. These Scholarships were first awarded in
1949 and six Schiedt Traveling Scholarships of $1500
