bACK CoVEr ArtiSt: ZoE GEArE Gage Teen Artist, age 17 Zoe is considering two art schools for fall 2013: Pacific Northwest College of the Arts, Portland, OR; and California College of the Art, San Francisco, CA. “When I take classes at Gage Academy of Art, I always end up learning something new. All of the teaching artists at Gage help me understand why something in my picture isn’t working, and guide me through how to make it better without changing my voice. The results are always great pieces I can utilize in my portfolio.” Read more about the Youth Programs at Gage on pages 24-27.

truth and beauty GAGE tEAChinG ArtiSt, tErrY furChGott

see the beauty of the world and long to be one with it, to make it part of myself, no longer separate. I have spent my life as an artist in constant practice striving to perfect my craft in order to visually communicate some part of this truth and beauty I feel in my heart. Color is the constant challenge in my work, and my primary passion (with flat shape running a close second). Over my long career I have made many shifts in subject matter and style, but these two visual imperatives have remained constant. My new work weaves together “Layers of inside and outside visual motifs and artistic techniques from spaces seen in both the Persian Eastern and Western cultures, both ancient and modern. Strongly outlined flat shapes inﬂuenced borders and the main are juxtaposed with three-dimensionally body of these images become a rendered forms; contemporary clothing and metaphor for the overlapping architecture share the canvas with visual worlds of the conscious and the motifs from ancient civilizations; and bold, unconscious. What part is dream painterly brushwork lives in harmony with areas of stylized pattern. The palette choices and what part reality — and, evoke both the vibrant colors of the Fauves, where is the division?” and the subtler harmonies of Persian miniature painting. — Terry Furchgott Teaching is also a great love of mine. The joy of a student who gave up on art in grade school, now realizing that she can draw; or the excitement of another when he begins to truly SEE COLOR everywhere — these moments are inspiring and wonderful. To see, to draw accurately, to simplify — to internalize these lessons through hard work and rigorous practice is stressed over and over again in my classes as the necessary base for successful future work. I have a close rapport with my students; and in my interaction with their unique ways of seeing and creating I am constantly discovering something new to try, some more effective way of doing things, and some new beauty to appreciate.

Sound Made Visible Trimpin, artist

Seattle painter and Gage teaching artist Kimberly Trowbridge joins us to talk about her colorful and inventive work, where energy and process are revealed in the lively look of the images themselves. A devotee of both the fine art of figurative painting and the modern movement, Trowbridge approaches her paintings in the spirit of invention and discovery, and we’ll look at the variety of imagery that results, as well as follow a few works in progress. We’ll also talk about some of her artistic influences.

Kimberly Trowbridge

MacArthur Genius winner and longtime-Seattle resident Trimpin is much more well-known worldwide than in his adopted city. His remarkable work — giant mechanical sculptures which move and make music in response to their environment — fits into no one category, nor do the spectacular drawings he does in preparation. We’ll look at video documentation of some of his major pieces, and discuss how he works out his ideas on paper before embarking on their construction. *Join us on Friday, June 7 for an exclusive screening of, TRIMPIN: The Sound of Invention, a film by Peter Esmonde. 7:00pm Geo Studio free!

May 23

Working as a Teaching Artist Michael Lorefice, artist

Rick Araluce is a local sculptor who uses multidisciplinary approaches to sculpture and installation. He will discuss the various steps and guidelines artists must know to prepare, assemble, and submit a strong application to grants, fellowships, and public art opportunities, including the basic “boilerplate” items found universally in submission criteria.

Residencies are opportunities for artists to extend their studio practice in a specific, often secluded environment to explore ideas, push boundaries, and expand community; and can often serve as an alternative to other post-degree programs. Jeanne Dodds, a Seattle-based artist, will address various details such as researching residencies, application requirements, finances, and how to prepare for when the date arrives.

Teaching art can expand your reach into the art community, and even be a catalyst for new ideas in your own work. Join artist Michael Lorefice as he talks about his experience teaching art to an array of students in multiple community art schools and colleges. Lorefice will talk about how to build the experience and skills necessary to approach teaching art to people of all levels and abilities; and provide ideas for different ways to approach the schools where you are interested in teaching.

Rick Araluce’s impossibly small worlds lure the viewer to a mysterious place where reason is mocked and the subconscious has free reign. A set builder for the Seattle Opera by day, Araluce is the recipient of a 2009 Pollock-Krasner Award, and the 2008 Ester Gottlieb Award.

Jeanne Dodds has led classes, workshops and guest lectures at numerous sites including the Portland Art Museum, Antioch University, Powerful Arts, the Boise Art Museum, the Frye Art Museum, and Gage Academy of Art.

Michael Lorefice earned his MFA from the Memphis College of Art. He has been featured in New American Paintings and has been an artist-in-residence at the Santa Fe Art Institute and Constance Saltonstall Foundation.

Fiona McGuigan’s work explores the process of memorization, recollecting, layering and the reassembling of one image to many. By asking questions around how we access visual memory, her ink drawings and collages use a restrictive process to obsessively re-create hundreds of drawings of the same image.

Note — the awards ceremony will be held at 6:30pm, prior to the Tom Sherwood lecture at 7:00pm.

Students of the Faigin Atelier April 12 - May 3 Opening Reception: Friday, April 19, 6:00-8:00pm Gary Faigin’s Still-Life Atelier students present their most recent paintings in this annual show. Using the still life as a tool for the development of their own artistic voice, these student works vary in composition and style, from elaborate, realistic depictions of commonplace objects to more abstracted arrangements that are symbolic and narrative by design.

The Aristides Atelier Thesis Show May 10 – June 7, 2013 Artists’ Reception: Friday, May 10, 6:00pm-8:00pm Graduates Bobby DiTrani and Stephanie K.

Students of the Kang-O’Higgins Atelier April 12 - May 3 Opening Reception: Friday, April 19, 6:00-8:00pm An annual show of the drawings, paintings and sculpture created by the students of the KangO’Higgins Atelier. The Atelier is based on two pillars of study: students are required to work in a strong observational tradition while also working on their personal imaginative studies. The fusion of observation skills with imaginative practice gives the students a vocabulary with which they can express themselves. How they do that, and what they have to say is entirely up to them.

Students of the Aristides Atelier May 10 - June 7 Opening Reception: Friday, May 10, 6:00pm-8:00pm Students of the Aristides Atelier present classical drawings and paintings founded in traditional academic techniques while highlighting the artists’ own observational skills. This annual exhibition displays the entire arc of the Atelier, demonstrating how students begin with a focus on drawing and advance to full chromatic paintings as they develop a vocabulary to create well-executed and sensitive works of art.

Sherwood has lived and worked in Bellingham for over 40 years, and is a central figure in that community; but regrettably, his work has had little public exposure. This is Sherwood’s first substantial solo show, and the largest public exhibition of his work to date.

Sketchbooks will be available for viewing in the gallery, and select books will be viewable online. The sketchbooks feature artists utilizing a wide array of media, and include Joey Veltkamp, Dan Webb, Margie Livingston, Iole Alessandrini, Cable Griffith, Serrah Russell, and more. The Seattle Sketchbook Show is sponsored by Dakota Art Store, in partnership with Stillman and Birn and Faber-Castell.

In Conjunction with Tom Sherwood: Generations

“Two copiously illustrated lecture sessions on the Da Vinci ‘directive’ — why it works and why almost all of us resist it: apologizing various strategies for meeting this directive and, after all, whether it matters.” — Tom Sherwood A native of Kansas City, MO, artist Tom Sherwood has devoted himself to creating paintings in egg tempera on gold-leafed panels, making prints and drawings, and lending his critical and technical expertise to his colleagues. Sherwood holds a BA in English Literature from William Jewell College, and a MA in Theological Literary Criticism from the University of Chicago. He’s taught at Western Washington University, the University of the Pacific, Deep Springs College, and the Southwest China Teacher’s University, Sichuan Province; and was artist-in-residence at Bensalem College of Fordham University. In 1985, his bronze sculpture, The Assistants, took the Barrett-Colea Foundry prize at the National Sculpture Society in New York City.

intuition and obsession

Amanda Manitach and Ben Beres Friday, April 19 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor In Conjunction with The Seattle Sketchbook Show

Observation of an artist’s process, often found in part within the pages of a sketchbook, is a window to their world and their work. Exhibiting artists Amanda Manitach and Ben Beres will show examples of their work and works in progress, and discuss their process — from collecting source material and sketching, to what their current obsessions are, and how these deliberate practices and research interests allow them to manifest complex ideas in a multitude of media. Amanda Manitach is a practicing artist, curator at Seattle University’s Hedreen Gallery, and frequent contributor to City Arts Magazine. Her current work is rooted in an exploration of gender, the abject, language, ritual, and the psychogeography of cities. Her work has been included in exhibitions at the Bellevue Arts Museum, Lawrimore Project, SOIL Gallery, SAM Rental Gallery, Roq la Rue, and Cullom Gallery, among others; and she was recently shortlisted for the Stranger Genius Award in Visual Arts.

Ben Beres, detail

Ben Beres is a Seattle printmaker and one third of the conceptual art trio SuttonBeresCuller. He is represented by Davidson Galleries, where he recently had a solo show of etchings; and, as part of SuttonBeresCuller, has shown work at the Henry Art Gallery and Lawrimore Project. With his collaborative trio, he has been awarded a Stranger Genius Award, MacDowell Colony residency and received a Creative Capital Foundation Grant.

A composition is only as strong as the integrity of its underlying design. Notan (Japanese for â&#x20AC;&#x153;dark-light harmonyâ&#x20AC;?) is a type of study that uses the balance between darks and lights to reveal the essential energies of a composition. Working from masterworks, photographs, and still lifes in painting, drawing, and collage, learn how to use notan to build simpler and stronger compositions. This class does not promote an Asian style, but rather, a universal principle applicable to all types of art. Katrina Wolfe, detail 8

thE munSEll Color SYStEm: thEorY & AppliCAtion Carlos Madrid The way artists visually match color today is the result of the work of artist and art professor Albert H. Munsell over a century ago. Join Carlos Madrid, a disciple of the celebrated Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum, for an in-depth exploration into the art and science of this system, where color is numerically classified based on three color dimensions: hue, value (lightness), and chroma (color purity).

There is no landscape you know as well as the human face. Over five intense days of drawing from portrait models and your own self-portrait, you learn the essential techniques and concepts of proportion, line, value, volume, structure and composition in rendering complex portraits. Focus on the basic concepts of drawing applied to the human skull, and learn to think visually, translating what you see into a compelling portrait. Through demonstrations and hands-on practice you learn clear and flexible working methods, designed to increase your perceptual observation, problem solving skills, and technical application. Wa1304

Through a rigorous examination of Munsell’s revolutionary system, you learn to create a full color wheel, including laying out a full chromatic flesh-tones palette. Through your newfound understanding of the world of color, learn to communicate your artistic vision in your own work, and develop a more thoughtful approach to mastering color.

Featuring daily instructor demonstrations on a small painting, you explore the systematic application of complex color strategies in your own still life painting. Working with the concepts and theories of the Munsell Color System, you spend the week creating a compelling still life that exhibits your technical mastery and artistic understanding of the world of color. New students welcome.

fiGurE drAwinG & AnAtomY Michael Grimaldi Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 7/29-8/2 [5 days]

This rigorous workshop addresses accurate drawing of the large forms and gestures of the figure, the translation of those forms into color masses, the depiction of the color of the light that pervades an environment, as well as paint handling, surface preparation and other technical issues. Working quickly and decisively on one-day figure paintings, you learn to simplify complex observed scenarios, create compelling personal compositions with the human figure as your subject, and to make paintings that work as a cohesive whole.

Through discussions, demonstrations and exploratory exercises, Grimaldi introduces you to his own technique for developing a figurative drawing with an emphasis on chiaroscuro to heighten the mystery of form. While working on a weeklong pose, you learn fundamental concepts of visual perception, and explore elements of proportion, gesture, anatomy, perspective and design through constructing an exhaustively studied figure drawing from life.

Portraits have to power to capture the viewer’s attention like few other subjects. Explore time-tested techniques used to bring a face to life. Working from the live model, you focus first on critical block-in approaches used to establish structure and proportion; then learn tools to render your portraits using charcoal on toned paper. Finally, explore some of the fine-tuned aspects of portrait drawing, such as how expression indicators mix with one another to depict the psychology behind the face.

rEmbrAndt, GAinSborouGh, VAn dYCK: the treasures of Kenwood house, london February 14 – May 19, 2013

Nothing is more emotionally compelling to observe than the human face. Magazines flaunt idealized facial beauty; Hollywood packages expressive faces for big-screen cinema; TV capitalizes on talking heads to give the facts and features of the day. Over six evenings, Gary Faigin, author of the acclaimed, The Artist’s Complete Guide to Facial Expression, presents an animated discourse on the foundations of drawing the head. Drawing from models and showing slides, he guides you to a broader understanding of this fascinating subject.

There is nothing formulaic or absolute about your trajectory from art student to professional artist. Every artist follows a unique career path based on career opportunities invented or proffered. Nonetheless, building and sustaining an art career includes basic practices with which every artist should be familiar. This four-part lecture series outlines time-honored principles for turning your passion into your professional career.

The works in this stunning exhibition are all from the private collection of the 1st Earl of Iveagh, Edward Cecil Guinness (1847–1927), heir to the Guinness brewing fortune. The collection is usually on view at Kenwood House, a neoclassical villa in Hampstead Heath in London, but because the villa is closed for renovation, 48 of the greatest works from the Iveagh Bequest are coming to the Seattle Art Museum (SAM). Now you can experience these stunning masterworks through the unique perspective of Gage co-founder and celebrated artist and critic, Gary Faigin. Discover the remarkable artists behind the art, explore the historical and political climate of the times, and marvel at the beauty of these iconic images. Gary Faigin is the Artistic Director and cofounder of Gage Academy of Art. He received his training at the Art Students League in New York, and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Over the past 18 years, he has led exclusive art tours to the major museum collections of Europe. See page 4.

Take your figure drawing skills to the next level by exploring the relationship between the figure and its surrounding environment. Learn to successfully create the illusion of space, light and volumetric mass through efficient mark making and the use of clear relative values. Using pencil, charcoal, ink and white chalk, you complete bold sketches and one finished drawing working from complex theatrical setups including figure and objects, furniture and drapery. Composition and perspective studies help you create images with successful visual relationships that also convey mood, personality and narrative intent. Previous figure drawing experience recommended. $10 materials fee payable to instructor.

Through portrait drawing, learn to handle the essential techniques of rendering the human head, hands and torso. Working from longer, more considered poses, you achieve more accurate shapes, increase your understanding of the surface anatomy of the figure and head, create a sense of volume and depth, and study the way light falls on three-dimensional forms. Classes are devoted to drawing from life and master copies.

Complete a series of projects to help you analyze your work, develop your sensitivity and stretch your personal dialogue with drawing in various modes and media. Readings and examples from art history are used as part of class discussions.

ainting describes both a process and a product, and ultimately demonstrates the technical, expressive and conceptual abilities of an artist. Painting classes at Gage begin with traditional programs like color theory and grisaille painting, and advance to professional-level classes based on conceptual and abstract theories.

Painting classes run for 10-week sessions, most meeting once a week for three hours. Or, explore the Painting Foundation Program, which provides an academic progression of artistic training. Learn more about Foundation Programs on page 14 and look for the P symbol in class listings. Please Note: Most Gage classes require out of studio homework.

AESTHETICS of Modernist Figure Painting Charles Emerson Thursday 9:30am-12:30pm 4/11-6/13 From Degas through Abstract Expressionism, successful figural paintings share these basic aesthetics: self-expression and an intelligent use of color. Self-expression is the individual artist’s interpretation and reaction to a given situation, while color is the structure, composition, form, modeling and emotional impact in any style Coloristic painting. It is the light and dark as well, beyond tonal painting. These aesthetics are taught and used along with many others as you paint the figure in either oil, acrylic or watercolor. $15 Materials Fee payable to Instructor.

[rEturninG StudEntS: Spring quarter begins April 8, 2013]

adult ProGrams: ateliers

unning from mid-September through mid-June each year, 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. Atelier students are given an individual studio space to complete projects independently under the guidance of their 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 2012-2013 school year, the ateliers run September 10, 2012 through June 14, 2013. 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 (including Aristides in Florence: Drawing Workshop & Art History Tour, see p. 4), as well as free access to all Drop-In Figure Studios and any Lecture Series (see pp. 12–13). Occasionally, mid-year transfers are allowed — please inquire with the Registrar at 800.880.3898. application deadline for 2013-14 is may 31, 2013. to schedule a visit or to receive application materials, email Carol@Gageacademy.org or call 206.343.4243 x15, or 800.880.3898.

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 monochromatic and then fully chromatic painting. Fourth-year students work on individual projects with guest mentors. Work from casts, the model and master copies in a series of progressively complex projects. Intended for long-term students, the Aristides Atelier offers you the necessary vocabulary to create well-designed and well-executed drawings and paintings.

Intended for long-term students, the KangO’Higgins Atelier offers the opportunity to work on increasingly complex independent 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 different approaches to life drawing and painting. Learn to convey the essential nature of your subjects through finding the balance between technical accuracy and expressive gesture. Short slide and technical demonstration lectures help you add to your skills and place your work into a wider historical and contemporary context.

The Faigin Atelier offers painting students the opportunity to focus their studio practice on the study of still-life arrangements over the course of one to several years. The intimate studio setting enables you to devote as much time as you wish to creating paintings, without 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 technique, rendering and composition.

The amazingly diverse language of art making includes processes both specific and general, their uniqueness demonstrating the breadth and variety of individual works and artistic voices. I believe everyone benefits from the challenge of art making, that the opportunity to feel the frustration and jubilation that comes through one’s studio practice awakens self-knowledge and Nate Herth leads a workshop at Gage. potential that is valuable in all areas of life.

XEroX trAnSfEr printmAKinG Emily Stout Discover this alternative printmaking process using a Xerox image that you print or transfer onto any surface such as wood, canvas, or paper. Work with Xerox transfer techniques such as how to effectively use gum arabic and gel mediums. Because the process doesn’t typically require a studio or printmaking facility, this alternative process can be effectively practiced at home. The course is suited for all levels of printmakers and those interested in printmaking processes.

EXquiSitE CorpSE CollAGE Julie Alpert Creative collage! Experiment with short drawings that get passed clockwise every five minutes for an hour until the original work has transformed into something new. Make a collage inspired by music, then partner with a friend to merge the two works into one. Or make ink drawings that get torn into collage material, mixed into a pile, and divided among everyone to reassemble into new works of art. Making art with others can stimulate the way you think about your own style and process.
