ABSTRACT MARK MAKING

Artwork by Jeffrey Simmons

painting

While abstract painters are not alone in using unusual techniques to inspire new imagery, the history of abstract painting is full of artists who moved beyond the traditional brush-on-canvas methods. Studying under the guidance of renowned artist Jeffrey Simmons, this class examines different non-traditional approaches to mark making â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as staining, stenciling, and dragging paint â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while finding inspiration from the history of abstraction. All levels $255

BASICS OF OIL PAINTING

Develop a foundational knowledge of oil painting material and technique through hands-on exercises. Combine your new knowledge with drawing skills to understand the concepts of contour, value, shape, volume, form and perspective for a more comprehensive experience. Principles of paint handling and proper use of material, will go hand-in-hand with building skills to render still-life objects progressively from simple to more complex. Beginner $255

Dominique Medici

Tue 1:30pm-4:30pm 6/26-7/24 The most efficient way to develop your observation and intuition simultaneously is to practice Alla Prima painting. The ability to work quickly, and with precision, is key in your development as a painter. The time restraint forces you to forego detail, see the big picture, and focus on gesture and large masses, these elements hold the power and personality within a portrait. In this class, we will work with a systematic and disciplined technique that is uniquely designed to achieve this aim.

PORTRAITS IN WATERCOLOR

Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 7/14-7/15

Experimenting with traditional watercolor techniques including various washes, glazes, and scumbles, we'll stretch the boundaries and experiment with looser approaches and different color palettes for flesh tones. Studying from a live model, we will focus on the head, facial structures, and proportion, and emphasize the economy of line. We will capture the essentials of the human face using simple contours, but without shading or value, allowing the watercolor to build the volume and structure of the head and face and render the values. All $250 CLASS PRICE INCLUDES MODEL

WHY WATERCOLOR?

Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 9/15-9/16

What is it that keeps artists engaged with this supposedly difficult medium? How is it like all others, and how is it different? Under the guidance of expert watercolorist Suze Woolf, we will start with studio exercises to develop our powers of observation and facility with the medium. Using those principles (and weather permitting), weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll move outside to make fresh, spontaneous, and spirited landscape paintings. All levels $215

Gage is offering an unprecedented line-up of summer weeklong workshops, bringing some of the most talented artists to our two Seattle locations (Capitol Hill and Georgetown). As a teaser, our Executive Director Stefano Catalani selected three artists:

This summer I’m excited to meet Ellen Eagle, whose engagement and mastery of the medium of pastels is enthralling and inspiring. “Portrait in Pastel” promises to engage students in an immersive exploration of portrait through intense color analysis and the brilliancy of pastel.

Ellen Eagle

INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT

SUMMER OF LOVE

“

My portraits evolve slowly, over a series of sittings. My hope is that the model will forget my presence, and drift ever deeper into her thoughts. Though I pay acute attention to the body's expression of those thoughts, I am aware that she is offering me only glimpses into her private world. As a teacher, my goal is to help my students explore pastel and the emotional and physical complexity of the human presence, and weave the elements into a unified image.

“

As an educator, I strive to empower fellow artists to achieve excellence in their craft by fostering a set of rational tools— both optical and conceptual—that can help support, guide, and illuminate the emotional experience of drawing and painting from life.

Eric Elliott

After having relocated to Colorado as Assistant Professor of Painting at Colorado Mesa University, Eric is back to teach at Gage! I’ve known Eric for years -- since the days of his Behnke Foundation's Neddy Artist Fellowship award. For those who know his art, Eric’s “Observing Abstractly” workshop speaks volumes of his process and inspiration.

“

Painting and drawing is just communication through line, shape, edge, and color. First you have to learn how to see it and then you have to learn how to use it. And, once you learn the basics of the language, communication becomes easier, but that doesn't mean that you're going to be Hemingway. That takes lots of practice, and even then a little luck helps.

INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT

Patrick Byrnes

I had the pleasure of meeting Patrick for the first time last year, when we strolled together through the Seattle Art Fair. Patrick, whose work is featured on the cover of this catalog, will be flying to Seattle from Paris, where he has recently relocated to become a principal instructor at the newly founded Paris Academy of Art.

ATELIERS

The globally-recognized Gage Academy of Art Atelier program is designed for artists who intend to pursue profound mastery in painting, drawing, or sculpture disciplines under the guidance of an internationallyrenowned teaching artists. Once in the Atelier program, students will study and practice in an immersive, stimulating, and communal environment that fosters serious work ethic; the desire to hone and master their craft; and the means to embrace fine arts as a career. Gage Academy of Art offers atelier programs dedicated to both the classical and modern tradition. Once you have determined the atelier that best fits your preference, schedule a tour with the instructor or apply to the program. Requirements for admission are a motivation to learn and a willingness to undertake a long-term commitment of oneto-four years toward artistic development. Select ateliers do require portfolio submission, however an advanced portfolio is not crucial.

I’ve had a lot of friends that have struggled with who they are. And, I have a lot of friends who are part of the LGBT community, and they love coming to Gage because it’s so open, and they know they won’t be judged or harassed, and they can just be artists and who they feel like they are. — Hayley

I wanted to take art seriously, and Gage has a reputation in Seattle area as one of the best art schools with quality of instruction and the breadth and depth of its programs.
