Instructor: Jill A. Rupinski
Fifteen-Week Open Academy (BFA) Course (45 Hours)
Credit: Non-Credit or 1.5 Undergraduate Credits (See Below)
PAFA’s Open Academy provides the opportunity for Continuing Education (CE) and non-matriculated students to enroll in select BFA courses for credit or non-credit. Open Academy students enrolled in PAFA’s renowned studio arts courses learn technical skills, creative expression, and critical thinking from master artist-teachers while working amongst dedicated full-time students in PAFA's classrooms.
Using imagination, observation, and personal ideas students will push the boundaries of painting materials and subject matter. Works will be developed through guided application using a variety of materials working from the figure, clothed figure, objects and other source material. We will be using PAFA’s collection, the PMA and field trips to galleries to help illustrate techniques and how materials are used in different applications. The students will be introduced to different painting techniques, use of collage, acrylic and water-based materials. In class, students will learn to prepare different painting surfaces and grounds and stretch a canvas. Individualized instruction and group critiques will be given throughout the session.
Optional: This course is available for 1.5 undergraduate credits for $1,400. Select credit option with price adjustment during registration.
