Gage made me feel like I really am an artist, not just a kid. — Anonymous, 8

GAGE YOUTH PROGRAMS offer practical art instruction in drawing, painting and 3-D design for 6- to 18-yearolds. Our curriculum encourages students to explore new materials and techniques, develop creative problem solving skills and celebrate self-expression. Gage is dedicated to providing professional teaching artists who present engaging, age-appropriate classes that empower young artists to

be seen & heard.

Make Your Mark at Gage!

A

rtists of all ages strive to push boundaries and create new and exciting work, drawing from what inspires them. They also know that building real skills on their natural talent is an

important part of making art! Young, emerging artists are motivated to build a solid foundation and discover how to develop their skills in line and tone, color and composition through a multitude of new and traditional materials and mediums.

Gage Academy of Art Youth Programs excel at bringing fun and exciting art classes to students from all over the Puget Sound area.

Every year, we’ve asked you — our parents and students — what you come to Gage to learn, and we’ve listened. As a result of your feedback and our collective dedication, we have refined our programming to bring more comprehensive skill and technique building into our workshops; and we expect that more than ever, this year’s Youth Summer Workshops will grow through the shared work of our students and your positive testimonial to friends and family.

I learned to draw things more realistically, and just became more comfortable with drawing on its own. I am in love with this school and super happy I came here!

— Anais, 13

Within these pages, we hope you find a program that inspires you to expand your horizons and make your mark this summer!

PAINTING 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 drawing techniques, draftsmanship and observation. Learn the basics of charcoal and graphite while figuring out how to approach still life and the figure through sight, line, shape and shadow. As part of your academic exploration, you also take a field trip to one of Seattle’s high-profile galleries or museums.

This is the perfect follow-up to the Drawing Intensive! In this highly focused painting program, you learn the fundamental skills of painting.

In addition to the materials and techniques of oil painting, you learn to work with painting’s key elements: light, space and color; dealing with sighting, color mixing and paint handling through a variety of approaches to observational painting. Coursework features lots of hard work, instructor demonstrations and one-on-one learning. As part of your academic exploration, you also take a field trip to one of Seattle’s high-profile galleries or museums.

Jethaniel Peterka focuses on the figure, using live models, photographs and the works of the old masters and contemporary figurative artists alike. 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. You learn to work with new materials and to draw quickly and confidently.

This is a great step if you are hoping to build a portfolio, prepare for the five-week Portfolio Intensive program or is even a great refresher course if you have already taken the Portfolio Intensive.

(ages 14-17)

TWO WEEKS!

Jethaniel Peterka introduces you to the traditional “indirect” painting process, carefully layering opaque paint and transparent glazes in stages.

You learn the entire process of making an oil painting from preparing your surface, transferring your drawing, under painting, form painting, glazing and finally to varnishing your masterpiece.

Ryan Finnerty instructs you on painting’s more expressive aspects by teaching you the skills behind “alla prima,” or direct “wet on wet,” painting from observation. You learn to work with close attention to brush strokes, tone and color. Using a wide range of inspirational subject matter, you continue to hone your drawing skills and quick gestures while learning how to mix paint for tone, hue, shade and tint.

This is a great step if you are hoping to build a portfolio, prepare for the five-week Portfolio Intensive program or is even a great refresher course if you have already taken the Portfolio Intensive.

We strongly recommend that you have taken the Drawing Intensive or other drawing classes before enrolling in the Painting Intensive.

CLASSICAL STUDIO Tenaya Sims

CONTEMPORARY STUDIO Kimberly Trowbridge

STUDIO WEEK

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 your own work space 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.

In the culminating week of the Portfolio Intensive, you devote your time to finishing your projects and holding individual critiques with Sims and Trowbridge. After the critiques, your instructors host two visiting artists and take you on a field trip to explore and examine a contemporary exhibition in one of Seattle’s own unique arts institutions.

Tenaya Sims earned a BFA in painting and drawing from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, and also completed four years of full-time study in the Aristides Atelier at Gage. Sims has received numerous awards and currently runs the Georgetown Atelier as its primary instructor.

Kimberly Trowbridge earned her MFA in painting from the University of Washington and her BFA in painting from Indiana University. She teaches adult classes at Gage and has taught at Western Washington University and the University of Washington.

General summer attire is recommended, but no flip flops, tube tops, short-shorts/skirts or bathing suits. Kids must wear closed-toe shoes and shorts/pants (for ease of movement). Please no shoes with wheels!

General rules If your child or teen displays aggressive or disruptive behavior during the studio program or leaves campus without a note, Gage will ask you to remove your child from the program for the rest of the day. Upon guardian discussion, Gage staff will determine if your child may return. There is no refund for any

student removed from Gage programs due to behavioral problems. There is no smoking allowed in the building or on the property.

Additionally, Gage is an alcohol and drug-free place for kids and teens. Staff will ask students who break these rules to leave the program for the remainder of the week.

Lunch/snacks All students should bring a sack lunch, beverages and two snacks for the day. Your child or teen will be supervised during lunch and will be encouraged to go outdoors, weather permitting. There is also a vending machine with healthy snacks for purchase.

Sign-in & sign-out Guardians should promptly drop off and pick up students. Unless you wish your 6to 11-year old to attend Creative Care (see below), please do not drop off more than 15 minutes before workshops begin at 9:30am.

For Kids: Guardians must sign their child in & out of the program every day. PLEASE NOTE: If you drop off your child before 9:15am or pick up after 3:45pm, Gage will bill you for Creative Care services. Fees are based on usage. Gage is not responsible for children dropped off at Gage outside of actual program hours.

Teens: Teens sign themselves in & out of the program on a daily basis. Due to a compressed schedule, teens may not leave the property during program breaks (i.e. for lunch) without a note from a guardian.

Creative care Gage offers Creative Care before and after our summer Kids Workshops. You will be billed at the end of each workshop. Parents who drop off before 8:00am or pick up after 5:00pm will be charged an additional $1 per minute. See page 8 for more details. PLEASE NOTE: There is no Creative Care (supervised care) on Friday afternoons or for our Teen Workshops.

I feel like I’ve gained more creative ways to see and hope I will continue to learn more about art. My teachers were motivating and inspiring — I’ll never look at things I’m drawing the same way again!
