On printed materials, Wells Fargo logo colors — Wells Fargo Red and Wells Fargo Yellow — must always match their CMYK formula respectively, whether printing on coated or uncoated stock. Never substitute other colors. This is especially important since certain paper stocks and different types of media may alter the way a color looks when reproduced. For this reason, a color check while the job is on press or in final production is essential. Drawdowns are strongly recommended in all cases.

DRAWING INTENSIVE Ryan Finnerty & Jethaniel Peterka

Take your drawing skills to the next level in this seriously focused drawing intensive. Over the course of two weeks, you study with creative, professional instructors who guide you through demonstrations and discussions on the subject of draftsmanship and observation. As part of your academic exploration, you also take a field trip to one of Seattle’s high-profile galleries or museums. This class is a great step for students hoping to build a portfolio or prepare for the five-week Teen Intensive program!

Jethaniel Peterka introduces you to the tried and true methods of the academics of 19th century France, primarily focusing on the figure, photographs, old masters and contemporary figurative artists. You learn traditional drawing skills such as, gesture, blocking-in, modeling with light and shadow, anatomy, composition and more.

Ryan Finnerty focuses on the expressive aspect of drawing, while you learn about value, color, scale and analytical observation. Learn to work with new materials and to draw quickly, confidently and sometimes strangely in this fast-paced and lively workshop.

DRAWING FROM OBSERVATION Michael Lorefice

FIGURE & STILL-LIFE PAINTING Terry Furchgott

PAINTING & PATINAS Yvette Endrijautzki

Explore a fantastic new way to make unique drawings and prints that have the ability to expand exponentially or to exist as an edition.

You create patterns in the style of M.C. Escher with your own linoleum blocks, stamps, tesselation stencils and other unique drawing techniques. These tools give you new ways to express personal concepts and enable new art perspectives!

Explore the cartoonist’s essential techniques: drawing and storytelling. Bring your own characters and narratives to life using the comic book form. Learn to illustrate your ideas with strong graphics to support your original text, and develop your comics from rough pencil sketches to fully inked panels. You might even discover fun ways to incorporate your comic characters into your sculpture class!

Reduction printmaking is a fascinating technique for making multicolor prints. You learn how to reduce your image area for each new color by planning a repetitive process for your carving, and how to register your images for a perfect application of your different colors. Discover the rewards of using block and silkscreen printing on paper and fabric, then incorporate the prints into your altered books!

Investigate different ways of drawing that originate from the tradition of direct observation learning about artists in the past. By combining elements of art history, structured projects and student collaboration, you explore and merge time-honored techniques with contemporary practices to gain insight into the creative process through drawing.

Learn how to manipulate and integrate your own drawings and paintings while working with color, washes, patinas, stains and dyes.

Experiment with multimedia techniques including photo transfers and collage, and discover how using these materials expands the aesthetic quality of your artwork! Then apply these methods to enhance your mixed-media assemblage piece.

ABSTRACT PLASTER SCULPTURE Katrina Wolfe

PLUSH SOFT SCULPTURE Erin Shafkind

ALTERED BOOKS Julie Alpert

Learn to paint with the quickdrying and brilliant colors of acrylics, creating brief studies and several finished paintings while mastering the basics of accurate drawing, brushwork, color mixing and the use of a wet palette. Working from inspiring set ups including fruit and flowers, colorful ceramics, drapery and clothed models, you create bold images full of complex layers of color and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow.

Combine the intricate patterns of nature with the power of your imagination by creating stylized 3-D trees, plants and strange creatures. Starting with flexible wire, you build a structure that captures rhythm and movement, focusing on the overall design of your piece while draping plaster-dipped burlap strips over the armature. At the end of the week, your sculptures can be colored using shellac and paint washes.

Invent your own 3-D soft sculpture with needle and thread, fabrics, found materials, old clothes and other items. No sewing experience necessary! You learn to create objects, food, characters or whatever else your imagination can dream up. The possibilities are endless, especially the potential for a crossover between the comics you create and the sculptures you dream up.

What will we do with all the books once everything goes digital? Alter them! Old books provide the perfect foundation for a 3-D collage.

Learn how to cut, sew, rip, glue, pull apart and put back together old books to create entirely new artifacts. Think about books as objects, not just bundles of information, and walk away with small, very personal sculptures, and even include images from your printmaking class!

CLASSICAL STUDIO Tenaya Sims

CONTEMPORARY STUDIO Kimberly Trowbridge

Develop a strong foundation in the classical tradition of 19th-century artists. Tenaya Sims teaches you to understand, develop and implement the skills needed for representational drawing. Work from the figure in the mornings and from plaster casts in individual work spaces in the afternoons. The first week begins with a short lecture and slide presentation by Sims, demonstrating his body of work, inspiration and artistic background. Then you focus on the foundation skills of blocking-in the figure and rendering form. The second week you learn the process of working on hand-toned paper while applying the principles learned in the first week. Sims’s direct teaching style is rigorous and engaging. You need to be serious about wanting to develop representational drawing and painting skills to benefit from this session.

Move from drawing into painting by learning to see and mix color relationships from observation under the guidance of Kimberly Trowbridge.

Trowbridge begins with a short presentation, demonstrating her body of work, inspiration and artistic background. Using a direct painting method, you focus on understanding color as value, temperature and saturation. You work from the model in the mornings, painting the relationship of the figure to the surrounding space. You devote your afternoons to working from individual still-life installations, focusing on color, composition, space, narrative and identity.

Using representation and abstraction as a way to explore individual themes, you create one large, final painting. Prepare to apply your technical skills in an individual direction as you create your own unique artworks.

CLASSICAL STUDIO Tenaya Sims

CONTEMPORARY STUDIO Kimberly Trowbridge

Develop a strong foundation in the classical tradition of 19th-century artists. Tenaya Sims teaches you to understand, develop and implement the skills needed for representational drawing. Work from the figure in the mornings and from plaster casts in individual work spaces in the afternoons. The first week begins with a short lecture and slide presentation by Sims, demonstrating his body of work, inspiration and artistic background. Then you focus on the foundation skills of blocking-in the figure and rendering form. The second week you learn the process of working on hand-toned paper while applying the principles learned in the first week. Sims’s direct teaching style is rigorous and engaging. You need to be serious about wanting to develop representational drawing and painting skills to benefit from this session.

Move from drawing into painting by learning to see and mix color relationships from observation under the guidance of Kimberly Trowbridge.

Trowbridge begins with a short presentation, demonstrating her body of work, inspiration and artistic background. Using a direct painting method, you focus on understanding color as value, temperature and saturation. You work from the model in the mornings, painting the relationship of the figure to the surrounding space. You devote your afternoons to working from individual still-life installations, focusing on color, composition, space, narrative and identity.

Using representation and abstraction as a way to explore individual themes, you create one large, final painting. Prepare to apply your technical skills in an individual direction as you create your own unique artworks.

Week 5

august 1-5

CULMINATING WEEK Devote time to finish your projects during the culminating week of the Teen Intensive, then receive individual critiques of your final portfolio

by Sims and Trowbridge. Visiting artists also provide lectures and you take a field trip to view a contemporary exhibition in Seattle’s thriving art community.
