To PRODUCE SOMETHING YOU FEEL IS SIGNIFICANT . ..
STUDENTS SPEND THEIR FIRST YEAR IN
the Preliminary studios . The program
begins by initiating the student in the
fundamentals of life drawing , painting,
sculpture, and printmaking.
The Academy offers a program of study
based on the teaching traditions of the
great European Academies and the
dynamic innovations of contemporary art .
Students focus on the study of the figure ,
beginning with drawing from the classical
sculptures. The Academy possesses one of
the finest collections of antique casts in
this country.
" You learn technique . You learn
vocabulary. Eventually, you'll have
enough confidence in your ability so
that you'll be able to produce something you feel is significant. "

WE EXPECT THAT EACH STUDENT IS GOING TO BE A PROFESSIONAL FINE ARTIST . ..
IN THE SECOND YEAR, STUDENTS
concentrate on either painting, sculpture,
or printmaking. Intermediate level students
select their own goals and methods of
achieving finished works of art.
"As far as we're concerned, each
one of our students is going to be a
Raphael , or a Picasso. That is, we have
the expectation that they ' re going to
be serious fine artists ."

WORKING ALONE IN MY STUDIO HELPED ME COME UP WITH MY OWN IMAGES . ..
AFTER TWO YEARS OF STRUCTURED
training , advanced students pursue their
personal direction independently. early
seventy private studios, awarded by competition , are available at the Peale House
facility for third and fourth-year students.
" It's only since I stopped going to regular classes and worked in my own
studio that I started to come up with
images and a vocabulary of my own."
3rd Year Printmaking Student
"When you're granted a private studio , you have to be responsible for
yourself. No one tells you what to
do-you initiate your own work.
A studio represents your artistic
independence. "

EACH STUDENT SELECTS THE CRITIC WITH WHOM HE OR SHE WISHES TO WORK . ..
THE MAIN TEACHING TOOL FOR ADVANCED
students is the Critics Program and the Visiting Artists Program.
The Critics Program provides a framework in which students can discuss their
ideas and progress on an individual basis ,
with faculty members who are professional
artists. Students select the critics with
whom they wish to work.
Critic Will Barnet stated , "After years of
teaching, I gave up on all other positions to
teach only at the Academy. The environment is challenging and stimulating, constantly creating a renewed excitement. The
students are anxious to participate in criticism and are willing to learn."
The Visiting Artists Program is a series of
lectures, critiques, and workshops that
ensures that the experiences and talents of
nationally acclaimed artists are shared
with the entire Academy community.
Recent artists who have visited the Academy are: Leon Golub, Clement Greenberg,
Deborah Remington, Wolf Kahn , Nancy
Spero, and Frank Stella.

FACULTY RESPECT THE STUDENT'S INDIVIDUALITY . ..
THE FACULTY MEMBERS ARE SEL ECTED
for their pre-eminence as artists and teachers and for their inspired dedication to art.
They are working professional artists who
regularly exhibit their work.
The faculty respect the student's individuality realizing that each has unique needs
and points of view. No ideal is ever imposed on students .
"We have a tremendous diversity of
opinion available to the student. They
have to choose from all of the criticisms received and make their decisions. Consequently, our students
graduate as independent artists ."

A COMMUNITY OF ARTISTS . ..
THE ACADEMY IS A COMMUNITY OF
artists, fac ulty and students, working and
exhibiting together.
Opportunities for students to show their
work in the Academy's professional galleries occur throughout the four-year program. Exhibition space is provided year
round for students in the Peale House
studio facility and once each spring in the
historic galleries of the Academy Museum.
The public, private collectors, and art
dealers are invited to view and purchase
student work.

"FREEDOM TO CREATE AND INSTRUCTION WHEN NEEDED . .. "
THE STUDENT BODY IS COMPOSED OF
individuals with a diversity of educational
accomplishments, ranging from high
school diplomas to graduate degrees. Many
have had previous professional careers.
"I had been working in Hollywood
for the last eight years as a professional set and model maker. 1 felt my
career was consuming me. 1 didn't
have time to do my own work . 1 was
looking for a place that allowed me
to develop my personal direction. 1
found this place. The Academy has
given me the freedom that I want and
the instruction when 1 need it. "

ART AS A WAY OF LIFE . ..
THE ADVANCED STUDENT POSSESSES A
high level of skill and personal commitment to art as a way of life.
"Academy students paint better than
students from other schools. It's probably due to the tradition of uniting the
practice of painting, drawing , and
sculpture very intimately."

EACH SPRING, THE MUSEUM IS THE
setting for the Annual Student Exhibition.
The museum's walls are cleared of its permanent collection, so that the students
may hang their work.
Prior to the opening of the exhibition,
student work is judged by the entire faculty
for numerous prizes and prestigious travel
scholarships. In recognition of artistic excellence, the selected students receive a
total of $50,000 in travel scholarships and
$20,600 in prize awards.
The Annual Student Exhibition represents a culmination of each student's experience here.
"It's a terrific experience, professionally, to be hanging a wall, to learn
what goes into the placement of objects, to deal with the psychological
aspects of showing your work ...
to have it seen in a Museum."

TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIPS & PRIZES
Represented on the following pages are award-winning
student works selected from the Annual Student
Exhibition.
The Annual Student Exhibition in its present form dates
from 1902, when the first Cresson Travel Scholarship
was awarded. Following in the Beaux Arts tradition,
competition is used as the most democratic means of
recognizing and awarding student achievement. In
early spring, qualified students submit applications and
travel proposals for consideration in the world-wide
travel scholarship competition. Scholarships include
money for summer travel abroad and tuition upon
returning to the Academy.
The awa rding of The William Emlen Cresson, The
Lewis S. Ware, and The). Henry Schiedt Travel Scholarships has had a significant influence on hundreds of
recipients through many yea rs and has been a great
benefit to the Academy.
The faculty also confers numerous awards and prizes .
Many are given in recognition of academic excellence
for studio performance in the classic study categories
of figure, portrait, still-life and cast drawing, which are
expressed through the disciplines of drawing, painting,
printmaking and sculpture. Others are designated for
non-studio performance and are open to a variety of
subject matter and approaches.
Descriptions of all Travel Scholarship Awards and
Prizes are available in the Academy Student Handbook.

Independent Level
(Third and Fourth Year)
Students entering their third year are
classified as Independent and may pursue their work for the remaining third
and fourth years in their own studio,
apply for studio privilege, or attend
st udio classes.
In the third and fourth years the Academy program stresses independence and
self-development. Having become relatively accomplished, students initiate

approaches . Working increasingly on
their own, students receive guidance
through weekly critiques from the faculty and deSignated critics .
Studio Privilege
The Academy provides private studio
space for eligible third and fourth year
students . The assignment of studio
spaces is decided once each term by vote
of the entire faculty on the basis of continued growth , technical competence
and strong motivation . Faculty and
student private studios are located in the
same building allowing for an enriching
exchange among them.
Critics Program
The Critics Progranl provides a framework in which students who are working on their own can discuss their ideas
and progress with professional artists on
an individual basis .
At regular intervals throughout the third
and fourth years students meet with
critics in their private studios or in a
designated critique studio and present
their completed work and works-inprogress. In the exchange, critics from
the Painting , Printmaking, and Sculpture departments share their insight and
expertise.
Visiting Artists Program
The Academy student has access to a
variety of programs and events supplementing the studio class environment.
One of the highlights is the Visiting
Artists Program. During the past four
years a selection of America 's outstanding artists have presented illustrated
lectures , workshops, and critiques to
Academy students , providing a link
between studio training and professional practice .

ADMISSIONS
School or in the administration of its
educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan program
and any other school-administered
programs.
Since its beginning in 1805, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts has been
attracting and enrolling a unique, selfselecting and international group of
students. The student body represents
individuals with a diversity of educational and work experiences ranging
from high school diplomas to graduate
degrees and professional careers.
The level of commitment and age typical
of students drawn to the Academy is
reflected in part by their level of maturity in making a decision to develop
their fine art sensibilities. The Academy
curriculum is taught in a classic studio
environment where students work
toward independence, and design their
own program. This environment is not
only attractive to mature students, but
it successfully encourages such an
approach of judgment in younger
students.
The value of the program has been
embodied in the careers of alumni such
as: Thomas Eakins, Arthur B. Carles, the
"Ash Can School" members and many
others. The Pennsylvania Academy of
the Fine Arts day, evening, and summer
programs preserve the Academy's rich
tradition and share historic facilities in
center city Philadelphia.
The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts seeks students who are highly motivated to work in the fine arts and who
give strong evidence of talent and potential. The Academy does not discriminate
on the basis of race, color, national or
ethnic origin , sex, age, religion , handicap , financial situation or geographic
location in admitting students to the
