Master Classes and Workshops

IN 609SS MASTER CLASS WITH STUART SHILS: THE STRUCTURE OF PERCEPTION AND THE PERCEPTION OF STRUCTURE MIxED MEDIA Hybrid Studio/Online Workshop Intermediate/Advanced/Registration by Application

PAFA is pleased to present a new hybrid studio/online intensive with acclaimed artist Stuart Shils, combining dynamic studio work on location at PAFA and online tutorial and critiques pre- and post-workshop. Designed for intermediate/advanced artists, designers and architects, the focus of this workshop will be the visual concerns fundamental to making, perceiving and thinking about art, and understanding that the graphic language of abstraction is the source of all visual power. Themes will include examination of with interiority of the “visual moment,” graphic response as improvisational yet analytical commentary, the role of the camera/phone viewfinder as a tool for cultivating closer visual awareness and graphic coherence, and an indepth exploration of various drawing languages. Through sustained studio work using drawing/ painting media on paper, students will learn to recognize the intimate relationship between observation and abstract structure.

Her bold, uncluttered compositions present a careful balance of painted subject and negative space. PAFA is pleased to present this rare opportunity to work along with the artist and learn her distinctive watercolor techniques.

CE CORE CURRICULUM PROGRAM If you are new to art, taking classes but unsure of your direction, or returning to art after a long absence, the CE Core Curriculum Program is for you. Designed to help you achieve your artistic goals, the program provides a structured curriculum of classes in logical sequence to build your basic skills and the confidence necessary to move forward in any artistic direction. Look for the icon next to courses that meet the first-level requirements. Visit pafa.edu/ce for more information and call the Continuing Education office at 215-972-7632 to discuss what the Core Curriculum Program can do for you.

For years I’d been taking art classes whenever I was able. I chose courses based on external criteria like location, availability or the reputation of the instructor. Over time I realized that I needed to study art-making more purposefully to address my intrinsic deficits, build skills in a logical sequence, and develop a deeper understanding of the relationships among the four major disciplines. The CE Core Curriculum provided just the right structure and support. The guidance and feedback of the CE staff and PAFA faculty made a real impact. I highly recommend the CE Core for all who want to build a solid grounding for future development. CHERYL BAKER CE student since 2012
