E: Introduction

People Who Paint People

“People who need people, are the luckiest people in the world.” — Barbara Streisand

But first, be a student at Gage Academy of Art. A quick glance at our summer catalog shows people learning to depict people on nearly every page: Beginning Figure Drawing, Gesture Drawing, Portraits in Watercolor, Beginning Figure Sculpture,

and the list goes on.

Ever since our first workshops 20 years ago, Gage has featured the figure as a centerpiece of our curriculum. Not long ago, so did every other art school, but one of the most lasting consequences of the modern movement was a complete rethinking of the traditional curriculum. Since so little of contemporary art was figurative, and since so few artists continued to work in a representational vein, the idea of students devoting months and years to a mastery of the portrait and the nude seemed beside the point. Starting in the mid-20th century, these studies moved to the margins of most art school curriculums.

Although the majority of our students will not pursue a professional career in portraiture, figure painting or figure sculpture, we at Gage are convinced that there are substantial reasons for everyone to put in serious studio time devoted to these subjects. First and foremost, there is no more effective way to develop hand-eye coordination and confidence in one’s draftsmanship, a prerequisite for any disciplined creative work. Second, there is no more satisfying subject when done successfully, and the thrill of a recognizable likeness or a graceful nude are rewarding goals in themselves, and a highly motivating result. Finally, the sorts of skills one develops with the figure — tone, form, perspective, color, composition — can be equally applied to any subject matter thereafter; if one can do the figure, one can do anything.

Most of our students are content to achieve a certain level of competence with the figure and stop there, but for those who aspire to take their figure work to the next level, there is the opportunity to take on the ultimate challenge: complex figure compositions in which people interact with their surroundings and with each other. Two of our fall workshop teaching artists — Geoffrey Laurence and Perin Mahler — and two of our Foundation teaching artists — Terry Furchgott and Anne Petty — are masters of the complex figure composition, and they have created classes in which such works will be conceived of and created. Atelier instructor Mark Kang-O’Higgins regularly assigns narrative, figura-tive projects to his students, and Atelier instructor Juliette Aristides currently supervises an independent studio with fourth-year students executing large-scale figure paintings, impressively on view as part of their spring exhibition this past May.

Life hasn’t become any easier for artists wishing to create ambitious, multi-figure compositions. We no longer share as a society the belief systems and aesthetic outlook that made these pictures central to earlier visual culture. Few pictures are as difficult to pull off. But perhaps (with apologies to Ms. Streisand), people who paint people are the luckiest people. Are you going to be one?

Give 5 to Gage Meets Spring Goal!This past spring quarter, we asked our community to support the 2010-11 Annual Fund with donations that included the number 5, in order to reach our $95,000 spring fund-raising goal.

We are pleased to report that our community of students, parents, staff, board members, instructors and philanthropists rallied and Gage raised $97,082 with 114 gifts ranging from $5 to $15,000. One anonymous donor even gave $555.55 as his generous and creative contribution.

As part of our Give 5 to Gage campaign, we invited students, instructors, parents and donors to speak about their belief in the Gage mission and why it is important in their own lives. You can view short videos featuring faces you may know at www.GageAcademy.org/support.

We truly appreciate the engaged and generous friends who helped Gage raise funds for our educational and community outreach programs. Thank you!

Margaret Davidson’s Sell-Out Booksigning

In Memoriam: Ellen Kessberger (1947-2010)Ellen was a talented ceramic sculptor and watercolor painter who was inspired by wildlife and the rhythms and patterns of the natural environment. She loved the ex-citement and fluid movement of watercolor with its unexpected patterns and surprises. Ellen studied at Gage late in her career, focusing on figure drawing and painting with several Gage instructors and on the development of her abstract style with Julia Ricketts. We thank the executor of Ellen’s estate for donating her lifetime collection of art technique books to the Belyea Library.

Quick Sketches Gage is buzzing with news! Here are a few items of note this fall:

We are honored that Gage has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for the first time. The grant will help support the Youth Programs and specifically for our free weekend Teen Art Studios on Capitol Hill and in Rainier Valley (see pages 30-31). We are excited to receive both funding and recognition for this valuable program from the NEA.

Gage has been accepted into Store-fronts Seattle, a community-driven program to fill the growing number of vacant storefronts in the Pioneer Square and International District with vibrant, engaging enterprises. Gage will create a “satellite” space where you can see Gage artists at work, view exhibitions and participate in figure drawing studios. More information will be available soon on the Gage website.

Starting this fall, Gage is partnering with Utrecht to provide off-site drop-in open studio sessions on Thursday nights. This means you have extra op-portunities to draw or paint from the model! Utrecht will host the drop-in studios in its Capitol Hill store, and you can use your Gage open studio pass or simply pay in the store for the session. Look for more details on page 13 and at www.GageAcademy.org/studios.

On May 20, Margaret Davidson debuted her book Contemporary Drawing: Key Concepts and Techniques to an eager audience. More than 160 people crowded into the Geo Studio to hear Davidson speak about what makes contemporary drawing unique, techniques that are used, and artistic examples from local and international artists.

After the talk, Davidson signed copies of her new book, selling out the night’s stock!

Guests also enjoyed a Steele Gallery exhibition featuring 27 works that appeared in David-son’s book, as well as an exhibition spanning the Rosen and Entry galleries showcasing the best of the Classical Atelier.

Did you miss the event? Stop by the Gage offices to purchase a signed copy of Davidson’s book.

Gage Art Book Club Begins this FallDo you like reading about art? Join us for the free Gage Art Book Club where each month Ray Munger leads a discussion on a work of literature that entertains and informs us about visual arts and artists. Selected works span fiction, non-fiction, contemporary and classic, history, biography, essays and more.

The Gage Art Book Club meets the third Monday of each month from 7:00pm-8:30pm, beginning September 19. September’s book is The Painted Word by Tom Wolfe. Check out www.GageAcademy.org/events for information about the book and discussion questions.

We invite you to travel on this exclusive art tour in Central Europe bookended by two historically rich imperial cities, Berlin and Vienna, and linked by stunning art destinations in Potsdam, Dresden, Salzburg and Munich.

We convene in Berlin where we begin with a panoramic bus tour to place ourselves in the city and to view its eclectic architecture.

With four days in Berlin, our itinerary includes a short list of significant landmarks, museums and contemporary galleries. Traveling by private coach and train, we continue south to explore the beloved old and new “picture galleries” in Dresden and Munich over four days, then stop in the Austrian town of Salzburg, birthplace of Mozart, for a special lunch. Our final two days are spent in Vienna with visits to its stellar museums, including the famed Kunsthistorisches, Albertina and Sucessionist collections.

Your 2012 Berlin-Vienna art tour includes four nights in Berlin, two nights in Dresden, two nights in Munich and three nights in Vienna in centrally located, first class hotels with a daily breakfast buffet. Two group dinners and one lunch are included as well as a fully guided educational program, museum admissions, and local and inter-city travel.

STEELE GALLERY PROSPECTSSeptember 19 – October 14Opening Reception: Friday, September 23, 6:00pm-8:00pm

Tucked away in the corner of the United States, the Pacific Northwest offers a unique landscape that provides unending inspiration to the artists of this region. Tied to this landscape are also historical stories of pioneers and exploration that founded the cities and cultures we know today. Artists Justin Colt Beckman, Matthew Browning, Elias Hansen and Allyce Wood exhibit works that ruminate on these connections to their native landscape and investigate the curious spirit of the pioneer.

SELMA WALDMAN: GESTURE AND EMPATHY October 19 – November 12Opening Reception: Friday, October 21, 6:00pm-8:00pm

The superbly executed drawings of Selma Wald-man (1931-2008) are reminiscent of Rembrandt, Francisco Goya and Käthe Kollwitz. Selected works from Waldman’s Falling Man and Naked Aggression Series show the intensity of her social concerns and are matched by the ferocity of her gestural imagery, bonding archetypes of war and genocide, to the demands of witness, the pas-sion for justice and the discipline of drawing.

The Discipline of Drawing and a Passion for Justice Susan Noyes PlattFriday, October 21 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor FREE

The drawings of the late Selma Waldman demonstrate a powerful use of line, passionate empathy with the human form and commitment to the pursuit of justice through the arts. A dedicated charcoal and pastel artist, Waldman stated that these media “can project into visual art potent and sensuous powers of endurance that will resonate with the same epic, intimate, universal and demonic obstinacy as life itself.”

Art historian and critic Susan Noyes Platt delves into the work of this great artist with an extensive focus on addressing its underlying social and political concerns.

Noyes Platt is an art historian, art critic and author who is an advocate for art that engages social concerns. Platt received her doctorate from the University of Texas, Austin, and her master’s degree from Brown University. She is the recipient of a Smithsonian Fellowship, the Käthe Kollwitz Prize, a Fulbright Fellowship, and the Martha Nichols Award for Outstanding Achievement. Platt has taught and lectured nationally and most recently published Art and Politics Now: Cultural Activism in a Time of Crisis (2011).

October 13 Mary Ann Peters

Mary Ann Peters is an artist who uses sources from architecture, lost histories, science, person-al heritage, politics and questions of perception to inform her work. Her mixed-media drawings are expressive and poetic, combining recogniz-able elements with more gestural marks, and making eloquent use of the surrounding nega-tive space. We talk to Peters about her complex working process, as well as how her gallery work relates to her large-scale, site-specific commissions.

November 10 Thomas Wood

Thomas Wood is a Bellingham-based painter and printmaker, whose work combines the familiar and the fantastic. The Pacific Northwest landscape is a decisive presence in his work, transformed and purified with the intensity of a true romantic; but another presence is often apparent as well, denizens of a more imaginative universe where the animal overlaps and interacts with the human. We look at both the prints and the paintings, and discuss the relationship of the observed versus the imagined.

Sept 22 Artist Grants & Fellowships

Margie Livingston, artist

Livingston demonstrates what it takes as an individual artist to prepare, assemble and submit strong applications for grants and fellowships.

Weekend Workshops

Claudia Fitch, detail Anne Lewis, detail Patrick LoCicero, detail


ESSENTIAL BRUSH TECHNIQUESSuzanne BrookerFri-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 9/9-9/11 [3 days]

Brushwork is the signature of an artist. Learn how to develop the skills needed for interpret-ing volume, space, movement and texture through brush handling. A close examination of mediums and an exploration of techniques helps you understand how the viscosity of paint achieves different painterly effects on a variety of surfaces.WW1128 BEGINNING $295

THE CITYSCAPE IN WATERCOLORTom HoffmannSat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 9/24-9/25 [2 days]

The rigors of city life demand constant adapta-tion. As visual artists, you devise your own ways to interpret the complex urban environment. Spend a weekend translating your personal vision into the washes and strokes that are the vocabulary of watercolor. You set up your easels on wharfs and in alleyways, painting Seattle’s diverse neighborhoods from life.WW1129 INT/ADV $195

COLOR CONTRASTS FOR OIL PAINTERS Suzanne BrookerSat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 10/8-10/9 [2 days]

What are the basic relationships between hue, value and intensity? How do you, as a painter, juggle these forces within color relationship to create mood, expression and meaning? Find answers to these questions and explore the hidden potentials of your palette, as you build a more sensitive eye toward color in fast study paintings.WW1130 BEGINNING $195

CRASH COURSE IN COMPOSITIONAnne LewisSunday 9:30am-4:30pm 10/16 [1 day]

Artists are constantly making decisions: both the conscious and unconscious minds play roles in these decisions. Believing that experience nourishes intuition, this crash course is a “lab” designed to exercise and build compositional skills. The immediacy of collage lends itself well to fast and informa-tive projects, however, you may work in any medium of your choice. WW1131 ALL LEVELS $95

INTRODUCTION TO COLLAGEAnne LewisSat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 10/22-10/23 [2 days]

Create with existing imagery and ephemera; explore composition, color, shape, pattern and texture. Take time to alter and juxta-pose design elements of everyday materials to develop your own collage process. This workshop is designed as a stand-alone pro-gram, or can serve as an excellent follow-up to Crash Course in Composition.WW1132 ALL LEVELS $195

MIXED-MEDIA IMAGE LAYERINGPatrick LoCiceroSat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 10/29-10/30 [2 days]

Learn the processes and skills needed to energize and make the surfaces of your paint-ings complex, nuanced and rich with meaning. Through the process of mixed media, found object and collage, you explore various back-ground layering techniques. You learn how to integrate dissonant materials in a composi-tion to create a successful finished work of art. Historical and contemporary examples inspire you to find your own voice and lead to a unique and personal iconography.WW1133 ALL LEVELS $195

GERMAN EXPRESSIONIST WOODBLOCK PRINTINGAngielena ChamberlainSat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 11/12-11/13 [2 days]

Focus on creating unique and daring wood-block prints based on the pictorial boldness of the German Expressionists. Learn how to incorporate multimedia papers and materi-als into your final print, as you practice new woodblock techniques and also experiment with monoprint.WW1134 ALL LEVELS $195

THE PAINTED PORTRAIT SKETCHMichael LaneFri-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 12/9-12/11 [3 days]

Create painted portrait sketches and studies that capture the essential information of your subject in a sketch format. These sketches are created for their own sake or for reference when working on a larger painting and your sitter is no longer available. Quickly analyzing the subject in terms of planes, tone, tempera-ture and color is covered repeatedly as you work from rapid block-ins to longer studies. WW1135 ALL LEVELS $325

THE SURREALIST FIGURE IN COLLAGEClaudia FitchSat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 12/10-12/11 [2 days]

Create the human figure as Dali or Max Ernst once did: fantastical, mysterious, dream-like and humorously unpredictable. You examine the works of surrealist artists and explore the methods of their craft: games of chance, cut-out images from mass media, personal photos, wrappings and other materials. Techniques you experiment with include cut and paste on paper and tag board, contour drawing, painting ink silhouette shapes and charcoal/pencil rubbings. WW1136 ALL LEVELS $195

COLLAGE ARTISTSExplore four in-depth weekend programs

this fall dedicated to collage.

FIGURE COMPOSITION FOR PAINTERSGeoffrey LaurenceMon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 11/28-12/2 [5 days]

How do you inject compositional excitement and complex subject matter into your paint-ings? Historically, classical painters used drawing as a preliminary means to work out their compositions and motifs. At Gage, stu-dents with strong drawing skills are invited to study under a master figurative realist to learn how to develop complex pictorial compositions utilizing different modes of drawing.

Each day, Laurence introduces you to a dif-ferent method to make in-depth drawings from the model and the background around the model. Laurence also demonstrates various ways to make extended drawings from the figure, regardless of the length of the pose. You work in conté crayon, charcoal, ink, water media and acrylic, treating each blank page like a canvas that you enliven with your tonal compositions, filling the paper from edge to edge.

Your final preparatory studies feature active figures in an interior that you create from sketching the live model, your preliminary drawings and reference photographs. Your final multi-figure composition is intended to give you fertile visual material for future painting projects.WA1119 INT/ADV LEVELS $625 (or by permission of instructor)

GROUP FIGURE COMPOSITION IN OILPerin MahlerMon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 12/5-12/9 [5 days]

Painting a multi-figure composition in an interior space represents a challenging pictorial project, even for an advanced artist. In this workshop, you learn how to work from multiple-model poses, as well as photographic references, beginning with monochromatic drawings that develop your compositional focus. You then create color studies based on your drawings, exploring the color harmonies created through the compositional effects of hue and saturation. Finally, you produce an easel-sized alla prima painting of the entire scene.

You are also invited to explore the textures and color structures that furniture, drapery and props can add to your composition. Most important, you work to create a believable spatial environment for your figure tableaux that suggests narrative content.

Demonstrations presented in this workshop include how digital photography and Pho-toshop can become an integral part of your painting process, how to develop narrative structure through composition and color, and the progressive steps — from general to specific — of how to develop a complex, multi-figure composition.WA1120 INT/ADV LEVELS $650

PORTRAIT PAINTING IN THE RENAISSANCE TRADITIONGeoffrey LaurenceMon-Sat 9:30am-4:30pm 12/5-12/10 [6 days]

As a foundation for your own contemporary works, Laurence instructs you in the indirect painting techniques of the Venice and Flor-ence schools of the 15th and 16th centuries. Working from the model, each day you progress through set stages of this rigorous painting technique in order to complete one finished portrait by workshop’s end.

Progressing from compositional studies, you develop a careful underdrawing of your por-trait on the canvas and fill in your portrait with a monochromatic grisaille painting to estab-lish your tonal gradations. You then overpaint your portrait with a classic dead palette of red oxide, yellow ochre and cold black plus white before applying a warm/cool palette that pushes the value contrasts and gives your portrait a beautiful tonal depth. The final stage of your painting process includes working with a full color palette while applying glazes and scumbles, as required.

This is an advanced course suitable for anyone with an interest in classical painting techniques and intermediate painting skills.WA1122 INT/ADV LEVELS $675

CLASSICAL FIGURE DRAWINGJuliette AristidesMon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 1/2-1/6 [5 days]

Under the tutelage of Aristides, instructor of the Gage Classical Atelier and author of three books on classical methods, you use techniques common within the 19th-century beaux arts curriculum to accurately and confidently render the figure in space. Alternate between practic-ing the block-in phase of the drawing and work-ing on a long pose that lasts through the whole week, as you expand your understanding of the human form through an exploration of human anatomy, proportions, perspective and the utili-zation of negative space, light and shadows.WA1201 INT/ADV $625

THE HORSE: ANATOMY AND ACTIONMatt BucknerMon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 1/9-1/13 [5 days]

Study equine structural anatomy and mechanisms of locomotion through Buckner’s fascinating series of lectures. Further your understanding by constructing a simplified structural model to illuminate the proportions of the horse and patterns of movement in vari-ous gaits. The fully articulated horse skeleton at Gage provides an additional opportunity for learning. WA1202 ALL LEVELS $600

EXPRESSIVE PORTRAIT PAINTINGYuqi WangMon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 1/2-1/13 [10 days]

“Yuqi was generous with his passion and with his artistic knowledge.”

— Cheryl Zahniser, workshop student

Contrasting opposites resonate through Wang’s emotive portraits, where technical mastery is countered by spontaneity; where realism and abstraction exist side-by-side; where brush strokes and color build solid structure, deconstruct space and express gesture; where the character of the sitter is both magnified and mysterious.

This alla prima oil painting workshop begins with a demonstration of how color and com-position, balancing the negative space and laying in the initial under painting, builds the foundation upon which to lay in your portrait. Special attention is paid to varying brush strokes, understanding the picture plane, turning form with color and temperature, and sculpting space with contrast, foreshort-ening and placement.

As his own portrait progresses, Wang divides his time between individual critiques and painting from the model. As you work along-side this master portrait painter, you learn the relative aspects of value, color and depth to reinforce the balance and cohesion of your finished portrait.WA1203 INT/ADV LEVELS $1,350

Drawing, painting and sculpting from observation form the cornerstones of Gage classes, which are open to artists of all ages and skill levels. With a focus on the humanist tradition, Gage presents the broadest range of figurative studies in the Northwest.

For students seeking continuing education, Gage offers 10-week classes throughout the academic year (and two five-week summer sessions), as well as weekend and weeklong workshops, lecture series and open and reserved studio sessions.

KEY TO SKILL LEVELSBeneath each class listing is a skill level. Use the below guide to determine your current level.

Beginning: You have limited or no experi-ence with the drawing, painting or sculpt-ing practice and media.

Intermediate: You understand the prin-ciples of rendering light, shade and value and can draw any object, including the figure, with reasonable proficiency; paint with an understanding of media applica-tion and use of color to describe form and space; sculpt with an understanding of structure, form and rhythm as well as basic techniques and tools.

Advanced: You exhibit a technical mastery of drawing, painting or sculpting, and are beginning to focus on the “why” in addition to the “how.”

GAGE FOUNDATION PROGRAMSAll of the classes and workshops at Gage are open enrollment, meaning you can choose for yourself what to take based on your own interests and considerations. The Foundation Drawing and Painting Programs, however, were developed as a means to help students answer the question “what class should I take next?”

These programs are designed with the structure of academic training in mind: building skills through an accumulating series of classes that offer both a breadth and depth of study. We believe a “founda-tion” in art is critical to a student’s success in achieving a solid understanding of core concepts for their own studio practice.

FOUNDATION CERTIFICATESWhile everyone is free to take classes noted as Foundation, formal enrollment in the Foundation Drawing and Painting Certificate Programs allows you the opportunity to earn a Foundation Certificate and offers distinct advantages to taking Foundation courses a la carte. The certificate benefits include quarterly guidance with our curriculum advisor, a certificate of completion and a solo show in the Entry Gallery at Gage. The cost for enrollment is $250 per certificate and you have five years to complete each Foundation program.

The Foundation Drawing Program does not require a portfolio, however, enrollment into the Foundation Painting Program requires the completion of the Foundation Drawing Program or a portfolio review with our cur-riculum advisor.

Gary Faigin & Colby ChesterSunday 4:00pm -5:30pm 11/6Skinner Auditorium, Gage Academy of Art

Ut picture poesis —As is painting, So is poetry. — Ars Poetica, Horace, 13BC

Join painter and writer Gary Faigin with actor and poet Colby Chester, as they share their love of the painted picture and the written word. Faigin and Chester discuss how the complementary arts of painting and poetry have stimulated creative minds over the centuries while sharing 10 inspirational examples.

With a digital projection in view, Faigin begins with commentary on an iconic masterwork in art history that served as the muse for a great poet. Faigin discusses the life and influences of the artist and the context of the artwork on view. Chester responds with an introduction to the poet who wrote an “ode” to that artwork and then reads the resulting poem.

The Salon program includes paintings by Matisse, Homer, Hokusai and Rubens and poems by Blakely, Egemo, Keenan and Snodgrass.

At the end of the program, the audience is invited to ask questions and add com-mentary.

Refreshments available. Seating is limited; you are encouraged to purchase your ticket in advance online.

EXPLORING THE DRAWINGS OF KLEE, DUCHAMP AND PICABIA Margaret DavidsonTuesday 1:30pm-4:30pm 9/13-11/15

The development of Modernism as seen in drawings takes a complicated and some-times witty path. Artists of the early 20th century such as Paul Klee, Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia experimented with unusual materials and also incorporated secrets, puns and sexual innuendo into their art, all while working with the more common issues of form, space and content. As you study and copy these artists’ drawings, you also seek to decipher and decode both the meanings and methodologies of their witty and sometimes sly drawings.D1163 ALL LEVELS $420

FOUNDATION FIGURE DRAWING IMichael MagrathTues/Thurs 1:30pm-4:30pm 9/13-11/17 Working in a variety of drawing media, you build a foundation of skills and methods for creating accurate, emotive renderings of the human figure. You learn concrete techniques for conveying form, contour, structure and volume. Anatomy and proportion are stressed throughout, while class discussions and critiques add context and breadth to your new art-making skills. This course is the first in a series, which continues with Founda-tion Figure Drawing II (winter) and Founda-tion Figure Drawing III (spring). D1164 BEGINNING $690

GESTURE IN DRAWING: DYNAMIC FIGUREBarbara FugateWednesday 1:30pm-4:30pm 9/14-11/16

Gesture drawings emphasize the figure’s action, forces of movement, and activation of space. They are also made quickly, with bravura and intuition. This dynamism pro-duces figure drawings that are imbued with exciting energy and vitality, which longer studies often lack. Working from the model, you practice ways to retain the gesture spirit in longer studied drawings using charcoal, colored ink wash and soft pastel. You explore issues of variety of line, contour, volume, space and light.D1177 INTERMEDIATE $450

COMPUTER TABLET DRAWING Jason Wei-Che Juan Thursday 6:30pm-9:30pm 9/15-11/17

Life drawing with a computer tablet offers you a new medium to explore different ways to express the human figure. The tablet is especially advantageous for shorter poses since there is little prep time and no cleanup. After becoming familiar with the tablet and painting software, you are free to focus your concentration on drawing and painting. Learn to use this unique tool to refresh the way you approach your studio practice. A limited number of WACOM tablets are available for rental for $50/quarter. D1178 INTERMEDIATE $450

ABSTRACT DRAWINGOlivia BrittFriday 9:30am-12:30pm 9/16-11/18

Develop methods for abstracting from ob-servation as you unlock the basic elements of drawing and learn to see in a new way. You work with your instructor and classmates to design and construct a large still-life environment that serves as your subject for the course. Using graphite, charcoal, ink and collage, you develop drawings that adopt the formal concepts of structure, composition and observation as a basis for moving into abstraction. D1179 INTERMEDIATE $420

5-WEEK ALL-DAYFIGURE & PORTRAIT DRAWINGJoseph LesserSaturday 9:30am-4:30pm 10/22-11/19

This six-hour Saturday class allows you to focus on your figurative skills under the guid-ance of a thoughtful teaching artist.

Using the drawing medium of your choice (charcoal or pencil on white or toned paper), refine your shape and value skills while developing figure and portrait drawings from the model. Achieve more accurate shapes, increase your understanding of the surface anatomy of the figure and head, and study the way light falls on three-dimensional forms. Morning demonstrations and work focuses on the figure, while the afternoons are devoted to the portrait. D1180 INTERMEDIATE $450

Painting describes both a process and a product and ultimately demonstrates the technical, expressive and conceptual abilities of the artist. At Gage, we train art-ists from the “ground” up — beginning with traditional programs like color theory

and grisaille painting — advancing to professional-level classes based on conceptual and abstract theories. During the academic year, our painting courses run for 10-week sessions with most classes meeting once a week for three hours. In addition, Gage offers a Painting Foundation Program, which provides an academic progression of artistic training.

You start with a few small self-supporting pieces and then create progres-sively larger animals up to 16" tall, then build an armature that allows flexibility to form your sculptures. Your work will be fired in the Gage kiln and colored, as time allows. S1119 ALL LEVELS $445

BEGINNING FIGURE SCULPTURE Matt BucknerMonday 9:30am-12:30pm 9/12-11/14

Saturday 10:00-1:00pm 9/17-11/19

Learn to accurately represent human ges-ture, proportion, mass, structure and surface form in three dimensions. A building block of the Foundation Drawing Program at Gage, this course offers sculpting students a com-prehensive introduction to figure sculpture, working from the same pose for the entire quarter; while students of drawing and painting improve their dimensional depiction of the human form in space. You work from the same pose for the entire quarter, with the pose also available in the independent Sculpture Reserved Studio (ST1118) on Sun-day nights — allowing you up to 20 sessions to develop your work. S1115 BEGINNING $475 (Monday)S1120 BEGINNING $475 (Saturday)

NEW! NARRATIVE PORTRAIT SCULPTINGTip TolandTuesday 9:30am-12:30pm 9/13-11/15

One model holds for eight weeks in a pose that provokes a narrative. You build over a pipe armature with water-based clay to get a life-size likeness and include more of the torso than a traditional bust. Toland dem-onstrates throughout the class all the steps that are necessary to complete this ambi-tious project, and discusses the nuances of shifting gesture and expression to evoke the narrative. The last two classes are devoted to cutting and hollowing out the bust and rejoining it. S1116 ALL LEVELS $475

EXPRESSIVE FIGURE SCULPTING Bill EvansTuesday 1:30pm-4:30pm 9/13-11/15

Create three to four 30” figures that express a theme and can be arranged as a single piece of sculpture. You begin by developing a maquette of the final arrangement, then develop your theme through the pose and expression of the figures individually and as a whole. You study textural techniques, structure of the figure, interpretation of muscles and skin in clay, as well as the appli-cation of color and surface treatments after firing. All the work will be fired in the Gage kiln and colored, as time allows.S1117 ALL LEVELS $450

ST1116 ST1118

Running from September through June each year, Gage Ateliers offer an intensive studio program for the serious artist-in-training. The ateliers (French for artist’s studio) are based on the traditional teaching model of the 19th-century European academies

where dedicated art students apprenticed with a master artist.

At Gage, all atelier students are given an individual studio space to complete projects inde-pendently under the guidance of their chosen instructor. Working together in group studios, atelier students enjoy the benefit of creative influence and dialogue among their peers within a focused environment.

Enrollment in the atelier programs is yearly, with nine months of dedicated instruction. For the 2011-2012 school year, the ateliers run September 12, 2011 through June 15, 2012. Aristides’ and Kang-O’Higgins’ students make a 30-hour-per-week studio commitment, including working half of every day from the figure model. Students of Faigin work independently for a minimum of 15 hours in the studio each week, in addition to attending two weekly teaching sessions.

Atelier students receive a 10% discount on all concurrent classes and workshops: as well as free access to all Drop-In Figure Studios and any Gage Evening Lecture Series on art techniques and art history. To learn more or to receive application materials, please visit www.GageAcademy.org or call 206.343.4243.

Gage Ateliers

CLASSICAL ATELIERJuliette Aristides

Based on the 19th-century model for training painters, this four-year diploma program provides time-tested methods for solving pictorial problems. Aristides teaches in stages; serious beginning students focus on drawing; more advanced students move into mono-chromatic and then fully chromatic painting. Fourth-year students work on individual projects with guest mentors. You work from casts, the model and master copies in a series of progressively complex projects. Intended for long-term students, the Classical Atelier offers you the necessary vocabulary to create well-designed and well-executed drawings and paintings.ALL LEVELSAT1108 11-12 ANNUAL TUITION: $7,230

DRAWING AND PAINTING ATELIERMark Kang-O’Higgins

Intended for long-term students, the Draw-ing & Painting Atelier offers the opportunity to work on increasingly complex indepen-dent projects under the close guidance of your instructor. You work with line and tone, light and shadow, color theory and mixing, proportion and anatomy, as well as differ-ent approaches to life drawing and paint-ing. Learn to convey the essential nature of your subjects through finding the balance between technical accuracy and expressive gesture. Short slide and technical demon-stration lectures help you add to your skills and place your work into a wider historical and contemporary dialogue.ALL LEVELSAT1109 11-12 ANNUAL TUITION: $7,230

STILL LIFE PAINTING ATELIERGary Faigin

The Still-Life Painting Atelier offers painting students interested in focusing their studio practice on the study of still-life arrange-ments over the course of a year. The intimate studio setting enables you to devote as much time as you wish to creating paintings, with-out the limitations of model time or weather conditions. Because everyone shares the same focus, optimal conditions for creative interchange and dialogue develop. You work toward success using the still life as a tool for the development of your own artistic voice, creating original, lively pictures that express your ideas and feelings, and focus on tech-nique, rendering and composition.ALL LEVELSAT1110 11-12 ANNUAL TUITION: $3,975

The absolute minimum clearspace requirement is a quarter of the height or width of the logo on each side. Online, the logo clearspace requirement is at least 10 pixels.

Youth Update

Gage Makes Classical Art Training FunThis fall, Gage Youth Programs continues to offer more frequent classes with a broader variety of subjects for kids and teens. Sign up your kids for a great mix of fun and skill building, each month featuring a different subject. Teens, in particular, can broaden their skills and techniques while building a portfolio to be proud of.

Along with more variable and flexible programming, teen classes have now expanded to twice a week to accommodate a more comprehensive curriculum. Teens who take Gage youth classes learn valuable skills in drawing and painting from observation, anatomy of the figure, and have the opportunity to experiment with abstract and conceptual develop-ment under the guidance of practicing artists. Many of our teens go on to apply for college with greater confidence and stronger portfolios!

Can’t fit the quarterly teen classes into your schedule? Make sure you drop in to Teen Art Studios, our free Friday and Saturday night program on Capitol Hill and in the Rainier Valley, respectively. We make sure to offer the same excellence in our programming as we do the rest of the year, bringing in teaching artists from the Seattle art community such as Doug Parry, Greg Stump and Susannah Bluhm. To learn more about each of our teaching artists, see www.GageAcademy.org/artists.

AUGUSTTHE ANATOMICAL FIGUREKyle Abernethy

Learn the basics of anatomy as you develop your skills in drawing and observation! You get in-depth instruction on basic forms, the relationships between muscle and bone, and how the underlying structure develops a finished drawing of the human figure. Over four weeks, you draw from both life and your imagination to develop a working under-standing of the human body.

SEPTEMBERTHE ART OF THE SELF PORTRAITKate Johnson

Learn the difference between what you see and what you think you see when you look in the mirror! You use a variety of mediums including pencil, charcoal, ink, pen and water- colors to explore the psychology and anatomy behind portraiture and the language of ex-pression — including learning the 43 different muscles in the face! Draw from a photograph, from a mirror and from memory.

OCTOBER PAINTING FORM & COLORSusanna BluhmDiscover the possibilities of paint and canvas! Using acrylics, you learn the basic paint-ing skills needed to express your ideas and represent what you see. Whether a beginning or experienced painter, you participate in fast-paced exercises to music, color studies and creative still-life setups. You also tackle longer projects that explore conceptually imagina-tive ideas and intent as well as composition, form and technique.

NOVEMBER*CHIAROSCURO: DRAMATIC BLACK & WHITEKerstin Graudins

Learn to compose dramatic black and white artworks with charcoal, creating what’s called chiaroscuro. You are guided through the process step by step as you draw from observation, learning to see with a critical eye and to work toward more realistic images.

CAPITOL HILL FREE Fridays 6:30pm-9:30pm1501 Tenth Avenue East

AUGUSTFIGURES PAINTING THE FIGUREDoug Parry

Discover the fun of not only being the painter, but also being the subject and stars of the work. You learn to see, interpret and paint the human form while exploring the skills used to pose as costumed models and to develop unique stories in paintings. While in-corporating costumes, props and a dynamic stage, you also collaborate with each other on a mural-sized painting on paper.

SEPTEMBERILLUSTRATION & IDEAS Greg StumpWhile aspiring illustrators are wise to hone their drawing techniques, conceptual skills are often just as important in creating an ef-fective illustration. Explore the key elements of visual communication like composition, clarity of expression, narrative and problem-solving. Discover work by great illustrators and then create your own visual interpreta-tions of texts, themes and ideas.

OCTOBERBEGINNING OBSERVATIONAL DRAWINGSarah Bixler

Construct believable, realistic drawings using nothing but paper, charcoal and your own observational skills! Through demonstration and hands-on practice, you learn to look at still-life setups in order to see shapes and form in your composition, helping you make the drawings you create seem as solid as the real thing. Learn about value and shape, fig-ure/ground relationships, how to use a plumb line and why drawing instructors keep telling you to squint!

NOVEMBER*PAPER POSTER STREET ARTNo Touching Ground

Explore the techniques and materials wheat paste artists use for collage, papier-mâché and paper posters in urban art! You’ll learn how to use photocopies, linoleum block prints, and stencils to make your drawings; what materials to use when wheat-pasting, and what kind of walls work best for longevity. Also discover which contemporary artists are pushing the limits in the medium.
