SCHOOL
Whether you are a “square one” beginner or an
accomplished mid-career artist, the Pittsburgh
Center for the Arts School has something for you!
I’m very excited about our wide variety of class offerings
from drawing to painting, jewelry to weaving and everything
in between for the upcoming Winter/Spring 2018 semester.
We’ve added new courses and teachers that perfectly
compliment our existing programming; we’ll be hosting a oneof-a-kind
master class in March—an intensive workshop with
visiting artist Frank Martin, who is the ceramics professor at
University Tennessee Knoxville, and a handful of fun Friday
night events are on the roster as well.
Welcome!
About PCA
Who we are
Pittsburgh Filmmakers/Pittsburgh Center for the Arts (PF/PCA) is a community-based institution that
offers accredited and non-accredited visual arts courses, access to equipment and studio space, fellowship
and exhibition programs, a robust screening program that includes the annual Three Rivers Film Festival, a
Youth Media program featuring media arts classes for children ages 5-17, and sales of work by our artist
members in our on-site shop. Annually PF/PCA serves 100,000 individuals of all ages.
The Center for the Arts School offers community arts educational experiences in visual, literary, and media
arts on-site at our Shadyside campus. Our Youth Media program also provides comprehensive media
production classes to high school students at our Pittsburgh Filmmakers campus in North Oakland. Our
approach to arts education and art-making provides a balance between process and product, and student
progress is measured in terms of personal artistic growth, the acquisition of new skills, and the ability to
think critically. Our programs are taught at the highest of standards and engage artists at every stage—
from the novice to the experienced artist, from childhood through adulthood.
Welcome / About The Center for the Arts School
Come out and take full advantage of all we have to offer this
semester. I hope to see you in the studio!
I’m also thrilled that the National Council on Education for the
Ceramic Arts will be here in Pittsburgh this Spring. N.C.E.C.A.
brings five to seven thousand clay-centric folks to town and I
kept this in mind when creating the new programming for our
outstanding ceramics studio. Not only will the school have
classes and workshops focusing on ceramics but, come March,
our gallery will be filled with wonderful ceramic exhibitions
including the National Student Juried Exhibition.

Filmmakers Plate-maker and computer labs
and Pittsburgh Center for the Arts Printshop
facilities and its printing presses. Applications
for these techniques include, photogravure,
etchings made from digitized drawings, letter
press ready digital plates, etc, all without
having to expose yourself to any acid that
would traditionally be used in platemaking.
Students have the opportunity to utilize open
access hours at both facilities for the duration
of class. Students will be supplied one 12”x16”
solar plate each, ink and supplies for printing,

Collagraphy is a form of printmaking based

scrap paper, fabric, foil, glue, etc.) to create a
uniquely textured printing plate. Once their
collagraph plates are prepared, the students

the ink stuck in the texture remains. Objects
that are smooth will hold very little ink, printing
almost white. Objects that have a lot of texture
can hold enough ink to print black. Students

a print that has depth and a variety of values,
wipe and print small batch editions from their
plates, and use multiple plates and colors to
create intricate and one-of-a-kind prints.

Process Over Product
All projects are process-based, which affords children the
opportunity to engage in critical thought, collaborative
learning, and creative experimentation under the guidance of
an experienced professional artist and educator. PCA places
emphasis on the skills acquired during the process of creation,
rather than the importance of the final product. To that end,
students will often work collaboratively, and may create
temporary installations that will not go home with them at the
end of camp. While most campers will end the week with a final
artwork to take home, this cannot be guaranteed.
Photo Consent
Your child’s image may be photographed or reproduced on PF/
PCA promotional materials. You can unauthorize this practice on
the Emergency Information and Authorization Form.
