The Passion to Create GAGE TEACHING ARTIST, KIMBERLY TROWBRIDGE

his summer is my sixth year teaching Contemporary Studio in the Portfolio Intensive at Gage Academy of Art. Each summer brings with it the rewarding experience of working with a new group of students who are on the brink of their adult lives, and beginning to make some powerful decisions

about their futures. They are passionate about expressing their ideas outwardly, and hungry for any information that can help them do this with clarity.

As we know, this passion to create begins early in life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; most children enjoy drawing, painting, and building as a way of interacting with their environment and asserting their identity. Some connect with this process on a very deep level and never stop. These are our visual thinkers, and they make up a huge part of our society. I believe it is our job, collectively, to make sure that these individuals recognize this intelligence and honor it, develop it, and use it to contribute to our society in profound ways. As a teaching artist, I am often reminded of how important it is to engage with a formal artistic vocabulary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; line, shape, value, and color. This language builds the vessel that holds meaning; it is how ideas are brought forth and communicated. Like any language, it requires rigorous dedication and focus in order to learn it. And so I thank you, reader, for picking up this Youth Catalog and for understanding the importance of supporting someone in his or her visual education. We need these creative problem solvers to help us face the global challenges ahead, and to face them with integrity.

ummer programs feature three ways for teen artists to experience Gage — and whether you test the waters in a one-week workshop or raise the bar for more intensive study, Gage workshops help you gain the experience you crave.

ONE-WEEK WORKSHOPS One-week workshops allow you to try something new. These classes flex a more creative and conceptual muscle as you learn traditional techniques in drawing and painting alongside methods like kinetic sculpture or screen printing. Professional Seattle artists work with you to find your voice and expand your talent in whatever medium you desire. INTRO

TWO-WEEK INTENSIVES Two-week intensives are hardcore laboratories, allowing you to step up to the next level of your artistic practice. This rigorous two-week curriculum sharpens your skills and gets you ready for some serious portfolio building! These programs are also great for those who have already taken the five-week program but want a refresher for their college portfolios; or those who are ready for a new perspective on classical methods.

FIVE-WEEK PORTFOLIO INTENSIVE The five-week intensive is our top-tier portfolio building program if you are serious about getting ready for a demanding artistic practice beyond high school. Students who take this course want to get ready for college, be considered for an adult atelier program at Gage, or want to jump start their independent artistic practice to begin a professional art career.

Portfolio Intensive Scholarship Deadline: May 10.

Workshop size In order to provide ample individual attention, enrollment for all Gage Youth Summer Programs are limited to 16 students total.

Dress code Artmaking is messy; please dress accordingly. 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 on Friday afternoons or for Teen Workshops.

Gage instructors are positive and focus on encouraging students to try new things and express themselves creatively, rather than focusing on achieving some kind of set product. I think that’s great. — Michael, parent
