PAFA’s Extended Studio Courses offer fifteen-weeksof comprehensive instruction taught by PAFA's core faculty for an immersive fine arts experience. PAFA's selection of Continuing Education traditional-length and short courseswill be coming soon!

In this class, students will apply principles of drawing to invented images, both representational and abstract. Students will draw from the imagination without live, physical reference using a variety of approaches that may include using photo and found reference, narrative drawing (single and multi-panel), creating visual solutions to a brief, and constraint-based abstraction.
