Life Class Taught by Theresa Pollak at RPI
Theresa Pollak -- Life Classes at RPI
Having trained at the progressive Art Student's League of New York, Pollak was a strong believer in the educational value of the nude figure. However, Dean Hibbs knew that the then-conservative Richmond majority would condemn the college's use of nude models, and he insisted on ballet dance costumes as the minimum coverage required.
Nevertheless, Miss Pollak was persistent in her petitioning for the use of nude models in advanced art classes. Over time, the dance costumes gave way to two-piece bathing suits, then to burlesque-inspired "G-straps," and finally to the fully nude figure.
This photograph shows students participating in one of the earliest life classes offered at RPI--a privilege which, at the time, set Pollak's budding art program apart from most other schools in the south.

Children's Class Taught by Theresa Pollak at RPI
Theresa Pollak -- Children's Art Classes at RPI
Based on the unexpectedly high enrollment and success of Pollak's daytime painting class in September, 1928, Dr. Hibbs allowed Pollak to add both an evening class and children's class to her schedule. The children's class was held on Saturday mornings between 1928 and 1930.
This photograph shows students in Pollak's children's class studying a model dressed as a ballerina.
