Founded in 1805, the Pennsylvania
Academy of the Fine Arts is the oldest art
school in America. It is unique in its tradition of regenerative process wherein each
generation of artists teaching and exhibiting at the Academy shares its experience
and expertise with the next succeeding
generation, creating an unbroken line of
excellence that stretches from Charles
Willson Peale, the founder, to the present.

Director of the Academy Schools

HISTORYlLocation
he Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts is unique among
American art institutions. It is
the oldest art school in America, and from its founding in
1805, has been a museum and school dedicated to teaching, collecting, and exhibiting American artists and art.
Both the School and the Museum
have been in the forefront of trends in the
fine arts in America for almost 200 years.
Students in the Academy Schools range
from Thomas Sully and the Peale family in
the early years to Thomas Eakins, Thomas
Anshutz, Mary Cassatt, and Cecelia
Beaux in the middle years, to "The Eight"
more recently to the students of the 1960's
and 1970's who both broke the traditional
molds and also continued the Academy
tradition of realism through to the realist
"renaissance" being experienced now.
While the School has taught and produced some of the most prominent names
in American Fine Arts, the Museum has
also lead with exhibitions of both traditional and controversial American art.
Over the years, the galleries of the Academy Museum have held works of the
Photo-Secession, the juried Academy
Annuals, works from the Barnes Foundation, and works of Contemporary American Realism.
The Academy itself is located in an
historical city that has long been a center
for the creative and performing arts. The
Academy student has access to a wide
range of cultural activities and has the
opportunity to interact with the students of
no less than 48 other institutions of higher
education, including several other art
schools and colleges. Not only is the city
of Philadelphia itself laden with historical,
architectural, and cultural opportunities
but so are the outlying suburban and rural
areas. To the south of Philadelphia is
Chadds Ford, home of the Wyeths and
Howard Pyle, home of the "Brandywine
School." To the north is the artists colony
of New Hope; and to the west one finds the
Barnes Foundation, one of the greatest
collections of 19th and early 20th century
French paintings.
The Academy then is an institution of
tradition in a city of tradition. As it moves
toward the end of its second century, the
School continues its dedication to the
training of fine artists.

THE ARTIST IN HIS MUSEUM
by Charles Willson Peale, founder of the Academy

BUILDINGS
The Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts occupies two buildings in Center City Philadelphia of architectural
importance. The main building, at Broad
& Cherry Streets, is a masterpiece of Victorian Gothic architecture opened in 1876
and fully restored in 1976. This National
Historic Landmark was designed by Frank
Furness and George Hewitt, and houses
both the Museum and the School. Bold,
colorful, flooded with natural light and
flamboyantly decorated in the latest high
Victorian manner, it was effiCiently and
functionally planned.
The majority of classes for the first
year students are held in the Peale House,
at 1820 Chestnut Street, another distingUished building, designed by the architect Windrim. Over 75 faculty and independent students occupy private studios
in that space, as well as galleries and
offices.
COLLECTION
"What I admire most about the Pennsylvania Academy is its integrity. If the
chief job of the Museum is to preserve, as
I believe it is, then the Academy has done
its job well. The great Furness building
remains intact while most of our other
nineteenth century museums have been
'improved' beyond recognition. The collection itself is a fine one, greater by far as
a preserved whole than as a gathering of
undeniable master works. In an age when
museums seek to dazzle, the Academy is
one of a handful of institutions which
seeks to preserve its heritage, keeping
faith with the past while planning for the
future."
Theodore E. Stebbins, Jr., Curator of
American Painting, Museum of Fine Arts,
Boston.
UBRARY
The Academy Library provides students
with a thorough survey of the history of art, as
well as materials to stimulate individual inspiration. The collection includes a clipping file,
a biographical file of artists, books, magazines, exhibition catalogs and color reproductions.
ARCHIVES
The Archive of the Academy preserves
primary source materials relating to the history of the institution. Archives include documents from the Academy Schools and from
past exhibitions as well as information about
many of the artists associated with the Academy. Researchers are welcome by appointment.

approved by the Faculty. Work is submitted at the same time as the work for Studio
Privilege, with the same prerequisites.
Regulations & Registration
The Academy realizes that maximum
freedom fosters creative effort and permits
unusual devotion to the artist's sel£discipline. The minimal regulations will
not interfere with artistic effort. Therefore, these regulations are to be met for
the student to be eligible for progression
through the program, individual studio
privilege, scholarships, prizes, and travel
awards. Furthe rmore, those students who
desire to apply the credit for studio work
done at the Academy toward the Certificate or B.F.A. must have a complete
record of registration as well as a Faculty
evaluation of the quality of the work.
42
Registration requirements are satisfied when each student has registered one
piece of work each month with each of the
artists assigned to him.

Incomplete: An Incomplete is given
only when a student is unable to complete
the course work for sufficient reason . A
student requests an Incomplete through
the faculty member concerned. Students
have one year from notification of an
Incomplete to satisfy the course requirements. No credit will be awarded until a
letter grade replaces an Incomplete.
Beyond one year, any repeat of the course
wi1l be at the expense of the student and in
no case will credit be applied retroactively. The student transcript will show no
record of Incompletes after one year.
No Grade: When there is no contact
between a student and an assigned
instructor, the faculty member may designate No Grade (NG), or enter no grade at
all. No credit will be awarded until a letter
grade replaces NG.
Grade Report
Students receive a grade report at the
close of each semester which includes a
cumulative grade average and credits
earned .
Satisfactory Progress
To be e ligible for the four -year Certificate and Financial Aid , students must
maintain a B - cumulative grade average. Students whose average falls below a
B - will be placed on probation for the
ensuing semester. Failure to raise the
average to the prescribed level will result
in loss of eligibility for Financial Aid and
the Academy Certificate. However/ students whose probation is academic and
not disciplinary may continue to enroll
and attend class as space permits. Students whose records are incomplete or
who have not received a sufficient number
of grades to allow them to receive the Certificate in a timely manner may be placed
on probation.
Appeal
Appeals related to administrative
action may be taken to the Faculty.
Assignment of Credit
Effective September 1/ 1979/ the
Academy School will award 1.5 semester
credits for each three (3) hours a studio
meets.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

including monoprint techniques/ and
geometric forms are used for home
study.
Still- Life Studio:
3.0 credits/ 6 hours per week
This class is concerned with the
painting of inanimate objects with
emphasis on drawing/ space/ composition/ design/ color/ and painting techniques. In addition/ an appreciation of

the most effective means for isolating
problems of drawing for special study
and to augment the life class experIence.
BasiC Color Development:
1.5 credits/ 3 hours per week for one
semester. This course is carried in the
semester when Cast Drawing is taken
for 1.5 credits.

This studio is designed to provide a
basic working knowledge of color as it
applies to painting directly from the.
model and to acquaint the student wIth
the concept of setting a palette. The
course consists of four separate lectures, each of which is followed by a
series of three to four experimental
painting sessions.
Lectures
The following lectures are assigned
in addition to the studio classes and are
prerequisites for the Certificate, Independent Status, and Traveling Scholarships.
They are required for all Painting and
Grahics majors. Sculpture majors are not
required to complete Perspective and
Materials & Techniques; they are, however, required to complete Art History.

While this is a year-long course, it
can be started at mid-year.
INTERMEDIATE STUDIOS
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.
Painting Division
Students electing to enter the Painting Division will be assigned each semester to studios in Life Painting (6.0 credits,
12 hours per week), Portrait Painting (6.0
credits, 12 hours per week), Life Drawing
(l.5 credits, 3 hours per week) and Composition (l.5 credits, 3 hours per week).

experience in all offere d printmaking by
the end of their Interme diate year.
Emphasis is placed on image through
understanding and control of those print
media relevant to each individual's visual
statement. Visual images are develope d
through one printmaking media or in
combination with other graphic, painting,
or sculpture media. Both technical and
critical assistance is given in the studio

FINANCIAL AID
The Academy Financial Aid Program
is comprised of grant aid, workstudy,
loans, and tuition scholarships. The application for Pennsylvania State Grant and
Federal Student Aid (PHEAA application)
serves as the application for all aid at the
Academy. Aid for new and transfer students is need-based and is initiated by the
PHEAA application.
Continuing students are also eligible
for merit aid (see "Academy Tuition
Scholarships"). To be eligible for Financial Aid, a student must be full-time (15.0
credits a semester). Students must also
maintain Satisfactory Progress, as defined
by Academy academic policy, in order to
continue to receive Financial Aid. Students who are unable to do so will be
placed on probation. Failure to resume
Satisfactory Progress in the prescribed
time, generally one semester, will result in
the loss of Financial Aid.
Students who withdraw without official approval or who are dismissed will
not be eligible for Financial Aid on their
return for the repeat of that semester.
Any student who completes the
PHEAA application will be considered for
assistance but preference will be given to
students whose processed PHEAA applications have been received by the preceding April 1. Applicants to the School
need not be admitted to apply for aid but
must be admitted to the School before aid
will be awarded. Students shoud allow
four to six weeks for the completion of the
PHEAA application.
Transfer students are required to submit a Financial Aid transcript for each
post-secondary school they have attended,
indicating whether or not they received
aid. Federal law prohibits distribution of
grant or loan funds before receipt of the
transcript, and it should therefore be filed
early. Transcript forms are available from
the Financial Aid Office.
Additional information, brochure s,
and the Financ ial Aid Forms are available
through the Financial Aid Office , Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, 1820
Chestnut Street, Phila., Pa. 19103.
Academy Tuition Scholarships
Each March, the Academy conducts
an annual tuition scholarship competition
for full-time, enrolled students. The scholarships are awarded on the basis of merit
and need for the ensuing academic year.
Students are required to complete the
PHEAA application and to submit three
(3) pieces of work for review by the entire
Faculty. These scholarships are awarded
in conjunction with those federal and state
Financial Aid programs administered by
the Academy, but are governed by Academy policy.
Most Tuition Scholarships require a
minimum of fifteen (15) hours work for the
School each year, and those designated as
Work Scholarships involve a weekly commitment of nine to eighteen hours. The
jobs to which students are assigned are
generally integrated with their studio
work. Students are notified at the time of
the award of the expected commitment.
These Tuition Scholarships have been
made possible by Academy friends:

credits pe r semester) basis. Even in
those situations where a student is doubly enrolled in the B.FA. program
between the Academy and either the
Philadelphia College of Art or the University of Pennsylvania his status must
remain full-time (15 credits per semester). A veteran wishing to enroll on a
part-time basis will be restricted to the
Evening or Summer School programs.
In order to comply with grade and
credit regulations as outlined by the
VA., a student is required to take a

probation for sixty (60) days. If unsatisfactory progress continues beyond the probationary period, the student's training
will be imme diate ly interrupted and all
con cerne d will be notified accordingly.
Students dismissed because of unsatisfac tory progress may apply for re-entrance;
however, each case will b e 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 that
the length of the completed portion of the
course bears to its total length .
Credit for Previous Education and
Training: Appropriate credit is given for
comparable previous education and training, and the training period will be shortened accordingly.

The William Emlen Cresson
Memorial Traveling Scholarships
By the liberal provisions of the wills
of Emlen Cresson and Priscilla P., his
wife, a Fund has been created as a memorial to their deceased son, William Emlen
Cresson, A cademician, 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 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 the Faculty for either first or second awards. These scholarships were first
awarded in 1902.
Kurt SoImssen, II
Cresson 1982
In 1982, six Cresson Traveling Scholarships of $5,000 each were awarded, of
which $2,800 was used for a summer of
travel and traveling expenses in Europe,
and the remaining $2,200 was used for
Academy tuition for the two terms immediately following. Each year, the sums
may vary as adjustments in 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
Independent 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 application. The award of a Cresson Traveling Scholarship the second time
c redits 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 (28) months
after receipt of the award.

All competitors are unrestricted as to
amount, size, and 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.
The recipient of a first traveling
sc.h olarship must account for a period of
at least seventy (70) days in Europe, and
an itinerary and finanCial report is
required for filing in the Registrar's Office
before October 15.
The recipient of a second traveling
scholarship is granted the summer for
travel and travel expenses, and a general
accounting must be made and filed in the
Registrar's Office within three (3) 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 Dean of
the Schools.
The F acuIty 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 scholarship in any
given year and is ineligible for competition after having received two such
awards.

The Pennsylvania Governor's Award
The Philadelphia Mayor's Award for
Outstanding Accomplishment by a
Student in the Fine Arts
As the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts was established in Philadelphia
in 1805 in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, it is deemed appropriate that the
offices of the Governor of Pennsylvania
and of the Mayor of Philadelphia be honored by this Academy with an award recognizing the contribution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to the arts in
America and of the importance of the City
of Philadelphia as a cultural center.
Two awards, of $1,000 each, have
therefore been established to be given
annually to two graduating Pennsylvania
Academy students who have shown outstanding accomplishment in the Fine
Arts.
These awards, which are unrestricted
in their use, will be given upon the recommendation of the Faculty and are limited
to those students who have, in the preceding year, won a Cresson, Schiedt, or Ware
Scholarship and are exhibiting in our
annual student exhibition as candidates
for a second award.
This special consideration is given to
these graduating students in antiCipation
of their future contributions to the community through their art, and, in particular, to extend moral and practical support
at a moment when such aid can most
directly benefit the difficult and unique
transition from student to independent
artist.

Governor's Award 1982
Douglas Martenson
Mayor's Award 1982
Of the following awards, those marked by
an asterisk (*) are those which originate
with the requirements of the curriculum.
They are given in recognition of academic
excellence in the classic study categories
of figure, portrait, still-life, cast drawing
and landscape which are expressed
through the disCiplines of drawing, painting, sculpture, and printmaking.

*The Charles Toppan Prizes
These prizes were established in 1881
by the gift of Mrs. Charles Tappan, Miss
Harriette R. Tappan and Mr. Robert N.
Tappan. Due to the considerable appreciation in value of this trust, the following
regulations were put into effect in 1962,
enlarging the benefits but adhering to the
positively expressed terms of the original
gift that "the drawing of the work submitted will receive first attention of the examiners." First awarded in 1882.
Up to six prizes will be available each
year at the discretion of the Committee on
Instruction, depending on the amount of
income available. A maximum of three (3)
drawings that adhere to the concept of
drawing as separate from painting, matted or prepared for exhibit but not glass
covered, with no limit on size, subject
matter or media, may be submitted in the
Spring of each year by regularly enrolled
students whose records show attendance
for at least two years previous to the current competition. Up to three prizes will
be given as curriculum prizes (see statement above) and up to three prizes will be
given as prizes for work not falling into
that definition; students submit work in
either category but not in both categories.
They will be judged by the Faculty, or a
committee of the Faculty, and the winners'
