Admission . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 39
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, 1972-1973 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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 . . . ................. 23

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.
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 organize a school for the fine arts in Philadelphia. This resulted
in the formation of the Columbianum in 1794. In 1795~ under the auspices of that association, the first exhibition of
painting. in Philadelphia was held in Pennsylvania's old State House, better known today as Independence Hall. The
C~l~mbla.num was ultimately succeeded by the present Academy. Tn 1805 , in Independence Hall, seventy.-one public
splflted cItIzens met for formal organization. The gathering was a distinguished one and included the artIsts Charles
WIl~son Peale, William Rush , Rembrandt Peale. At that meeting the petition for the incorporation of ~he PennsylvanIa Academy of the Fine Arts was prepared. The charter was obtained in March of 1806, creatmg the new
organization
"To promote the cultivation of the Fine Arts , in the United States of America (and to) enlighten and
. .
mVIgorate the talents of our countrymen".

COURSE DESCRIPTION
PRELIMINARY DIVISION-Students entering the Academy
for the 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 the artists to whose studios he has been assigned.

and to emphasize in.d.ividual. explorations in style, medium and
content under the cntlcal gUidance of the Faculty. It is expected
that stude~ts in the Paintin.g Division will complete at least two
semes!ers. 1!1 the ope~ studios before they apply for assignment
to an mdlvldual studio. Upon recommendation of the artists of
the ~a~ulty to whom. t~ey .a~e assigne~ Painting students may
be pnvllegedy> ~ork 10 mdlvldual studios. They will be required
to receive cntlclsm of work done in their studios from at least
three arti~ts of the Faculty, a minimum of once each month.
The~e a~t1~ts m~y als.o .recommend the return to the painting
studios If 10 their opinIOn the student is not benefited by the
assignment to individual studios.
~l
109

studio facilities and lectures are open to the use of paintstudents assigned to individual studios.

The Preliminary studio schedule is as follows:
Life Painting-6 hours per week, painting from the life
model.
Painting Studio-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.
Clay Modeling-3 hours per week-instruction in modeling
from life 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
cour.se is a I?rerequisite for promotions from the preliminary '
Stu~IOS and IS presented from the standpoint of the practicing
artist rather than the art historian.
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.
~AIN:r~~G DIVISION-Students electing to enter the Paint-

mg. Dlv!sl,?n will be assigned studios in Drawing, Life and Portrait pamtmg. They are encouraged to pursue special projects

GRAPHICS DIVISION-Students electing to enter the
Graphics Di~i~ion will be assi~ned stu~ios in Drawing, Painting
and ComposItion but the major studIO assignment will be in
G!aphics. 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 criticism of
work done in their studio from at least three artists of the
Fl:lculty 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

23

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
~~ademy is devoted exclusively to the study of the Fine Arts
It IS not a degr~e granti~g institution. "The Philadelphia College
of Art recogmzes attamment of the Academy's certificate as
satisfying the studio credit requirements for its Bachelor of
F.ine Arts degree. \yith Academy endorsement based upon
~Igh school. graduatIOn and a secondary school transcript
J~dged credItable by the Academy, a student may register in
hberal arts at PCA any time after beginning Academy enrollment.
The BFA degree-credit candidate will be considered to have
fulfi!led P<:A's studio requirements upon receipt of the Academy s certificate.
The .ca*n~idate may begin to. earn. the required 46 liberal arts
credits m .any semester dunng his four-year studio program
or after bemg .awarded the Academy's certificate. Subject to
~cademy reqUI~ements, he may register for any number of
hberal ~rts credl~s per semester. Upon submission of an official
tran~cnpt 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
Pme Streets within :-valki~g distance of the Academy. The
sche?ule of classes IS desIgned to permit maximum use of
StudIO hours.

TRAVELING SCHOLARSHIPS
THE WILLIAM EMLEN CRESSON MEMORIAL
TRA YELING SCHOLARSHIPS
By. the libera! pr?visions of the wills of Emlen Cresson and
PrIscIlla P., hIs WIfe, a r;:und has been created as a memorial to
theIr deceased son, WIlham Emlen Cresson, Academician, the
mcome from wh!ch is t<? be applied .by the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fme Arts m sendmg puptls of merit to Europe
Th.ese scholarships shall be awarded under such rules and regu~
la~lOns as shall be adopted f.rom time to time by the Board of
DIrectors of the Pennsylvama Academy of the Fine Arts. The
award of Cresson Scholarships has had significant influence on
hundreds ?f 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 gene.rous income each y~ar, the Management, through ItS Committee on Instruction has established the
p:actice of approving the recommendation' of the Faculty for
eIther first or second awards. These scholarships were first
awarded in 1902.
In 1971, the award of a Cresson Traveling Scholarship credited
each student with $2,600 of which $1,610 was used for a summer of travel and traveling expenses in Europe, and the remainmg $990 was used for Academy tuition for the two terms
immed!atel~ ~ollowing. Each year the 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
ex~eptional 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
application. The award of a Cresson Traveling Scholarship the
second time credits the student with the sum established for that
year to be used for travel and traveling expenses, and may be
used any time within twenty-eight months after receipt of the
award.
Eight Cresson Traveling Scholarships were awarded in 1971.
Every student thirty-five years of age or younger at the time of
competition, in good health and without knowledge of any
physical condition or any other reason to prevent accepting and
properly using such scholarships is eligible for competition for
Cresson Traveling Scholarships. Competitors must have an aggregate of 96 Academy Winter School weeks to their credit,
which must have been accumulated within five (5) years of the

date of competition. The final 32 weeks (two terms) mu~t be
ent in the Winter School of the Academy and must be wIthIn
:~e year of competition. One summer a~d one semester of
evening school or two semesters of evenmg ~chool may be
a lIowed as equivalent
. . of one
. semester by special approval of
the faculty and admmlstratlOn.
Every student must have a ~omple~e and unbroken regist~ation
record. Painters and Graphics Majors must also h~ve satIsfa~­
torily completed the wo.rk in Materials and Techmques an~ In
Lettering and Perspective. Sculptors must meet the reqUIrements of the Sculpture faculty. All financial obligations must
be fully paid.
All students entering the competition are required to complete
the official application. All work submitted in compet~tion must
be that which has been done in the Academy studl~s ?r for
Academy registration. It must be work compl~ted wlthl~. the
last 32 weeks of the Winter School. All work In competitIOns
must be approved and recorded before entry by two faculty
instructors.
All competitors are unrestricted as to amount, size a~d variety
of work they submit in the competition groups, provided they
do not exceed the space allotted. Each sculptor's group must
include a composition. Work must be exhibited unframed and
unglazed. If tape or stripping is used to trim unsightly edges of
canvas, it may be used to give order rather than enhance and
must not encroach upon the face of the canvas.

awarded more than one traveling scholarship in any given
year and is ineligible for competition after having received
two such awards.
THE LEWIS S. WARE MEMORIAL TRAVEUNG 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
Directors to students of outstanding merit. These Scholarships
were first awarded in 1938 and one Ware Traveling Scholarship was awarded in 1971 representing an amount of $1600.
THE 1. HENRY SCHIEDT MEMORIAL TRAVELING
SCHOLARSHIPS-The 1. Henry Schiedt Memorial Scholarships in accordance with the will of Cornelia Schiedt, provide
for the award of Traveling Scholarships according to the income available. The award of these scholarships will be made
on the recommendation of the Faculty by the Board of Directors 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, for 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 four
Schiedt Traveling Scholarships of $1600 each were awarded
in 1971. The credit may be used any time within twenty-eight
months after receipt of the award.

The recipient of a first traveling scholarship must account for a
period of at least 90 days in Europe and an itinerary and financial report is required for filing in the school office before
October 15.
The recipient of a second traveling scholarship is granted !he
sum for travel and travel expenses and a general accountmg
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

GENERAL INFORMATION

a~ a large fund of contemporary material are at the students
dIsposal.

LOCATION-The school is located in the very heart of Philadelphia and has ready access to all public transportation serving
the city. Every important museum, gallery, library, church,
theater, music hall and college or university is convenient to the
Academy, and the Academy studios are easily reached by the
student who might live some distance. The main building, first
occupied in 1876, was designed for the Academy by Frank
Furness, and is a nationally known architectural landmark.

Art materials are available in a well stocked store run by the
Academy on the premises.

THE ACADEMY GALLERIES-The Academy has a unique
permanent collection of American paintings, sculpture and
prints that affords the student an opportunity for direct study
of important works of art of the past and present.
The exhibitions held by the Academy bring to the student the
various movements and currents of contemporary American
art and enable him to be in constant touch with the newest
ideas and techniques.
Special shows are held in the Galleries throughout the winter
season, and in the spring the works submitted by students in
competition for the many traveling scholarships and prizes are
on exhibition. Additional special exhibitions are staged in the
Peale House Galleries and continue the tradition of showing
predominately American art, with an emphasis on contemporary work. These exhibitions, many of which are one-man shows
by distinguished artists-past and present-give students an
opportunity to examine and study important work.
FACILITIES OF THE SCHOOL-The main building was
designed to make the best use of natural lighting. The major
studios are ample, with high ceilings and north light. These are
augmented by smaller studios and areas designated for general
criticism.
The majority of classes for first year students are held at
Peale House, 1811 Chestnut St. These studios are equipped to
fit the Preliminary courses of study, as well as to provide facilittes for Graphics majors and private studio space. The Graphics
Department has facilities for working in lithography, silk
screen and etching processes. The School has an outstanding
etching press which is available to all students; and all basic
silk screen techniques, including photographic processes are
taught. There is a darkroom provided for printing photographic stencils and plates. All interested students may use the
darkroom equipment, including a Konica Super 8 movie camera, splicer and projector for their own projects.
The Academy library provides stimulation and information
through its well rounded collection. Many rare editions as well

The Academy also sponsors field trips to various artistic points
of mterest. In the past these have included visits to museums
and galleries in New York and Washington; and painting expedItIons to seashore and wooded areas near Philadelphia for
students interested in landscape.
ACADEMY RESIDENCE-The School provides residence
accommodations for a limited number of its women students.
New applicants for entrance into the School should indicate in
their earliest correspondence any interest in such housing. A
deposit of $50.00 is required for room reservations. Additional
information on types of accommodations may be obtained from
the Administrator's Office. No single accommodations are
available.

1776 and the Veterans Administration Regulation 14251E.

Veterans Education are governed by the following:
Leave Leave of absence is granted only to students who wish
to temporarily interrupt their training for person al reasons. A
request for leave must be made in advance in writing, or time
away from school will be considered an unexcused absence.
The Veterans Administration will be notified immediately
when a veteran student is granted a leave of absence.
Absence An excused absence is one that is due to illness,
death in the immediate family, and any other unavoidable
circumstances; however, the school must be apprised on the
reason for said absences within twenty-four hours and the
reason must be supported by documentary evidence, or said
absences will be recorded as unexcused. Three unexcused absences in anyone month will result in immediate dismissal.
All students must attend 85 % of the duration of the course
in order to attain satisfactory attendance. When a student has
missed over 15 % of the duration of the course. by exclIsed

exact number of minutes will be recorded as per Form PDE
358-4. Excessive tardiness, such as three times unexcused in
any five-day period, shall be cause for discontinuance of trainIng.
Unsatisfactory Progress Students receiving failing grades are
placed on probation for sixty days. If unsatisfactory progress
continues beyond the probationary period. the student's training will be immediately interrupted and all concerned will be
notified accordingly. Students dismissed because of unsatisfactory progress may apply for re-entrance; however, each
case will be considered on the basis of the facts involved.
Refund Policy In the event a war orphan or eligible person
fails to enter the course, or withdraws or is discontinued therefrom at any time prior to completion, the amount charged to
the veteran for tuition, fees, and other charges for a portion
of the course shall not exceed the approximate pro rata portion of the total charges for tuition, fees, and other charges
