COVER ARTIST: MARK KANG-O’HIGGINS Gage Teaching Artist

BACK COVER ARTIST: THALIA BELL Gage Teen Artist, age 13

Kang-O’Higgins leads the Drawing and Painting Atelier at Gage, and this quarter he also teaches the class Expressive Figure Drawing (p. 15). He has taught his contemporary approach to ﬁne art at several schools and academies including the Leith School of Art in Edinburgh, Scotland, and the Riverdale Kingsbridge Academy in New York. Kang-O’Higgins has shown his work in many exhibitions in Seattle and New York such as the Seattle Art Museum Gallery, Linda Hodges Gallery and Fountainhead Gallery. Learn more about his work and teaching philosophy on the Gage website.

Bell is in 8th grade at Washington Middle School and is a regular participant in Teen Art Studios. She says, “My favorite thing about Teen Art Studios (other than the art itself, of course) would have to be the community. Everyone there is really creative and supportive; everyone is willing to contribute ideas or opinions. For me it’s a chance to unwind and have fun after a long week, making art and hanging out with people — things I enjoy and don’t always get to do.”

Gage Ateliers: In the Artist’s Studio ABOUT GAGE: Introduction

magine yourself as an artist in the 19th century, getting the chance to study with Jacques-Louis David, whose students were as varied as Ingres and John James Audubon. Every day you would work in the studio practicing your drawing skills, painting from life and learning from a master artist. During this time in France, students were taught at the exclusive École des Beaux-Arts where they painstakingly learned a wide variety of skills. Additionally, burgeoning artists could study in private ateliers working daily alongside an established painter. Subjects included drawing, master copies, anatomy, perspective, working from life and painting. The term atelier (artist’s studio) was commonly used by the 17th century and flourished in the 19th century when artists had the opportunity to exhibit their work in the annual Salon. In the early 20th century this rigorous method of training was replaced by modern art schools — or was it? Before working at Gage Academy of Art, I, like many others, hadn’t realized that there was a renaissance of the atelier tradition in You too can benefit from the the late 20th century, much less that this type immersive atelier training methods. of instruction existed in Seattle. For over a Gage offers three ateliers: the decade, however, many dedicated students Classical Atelier, the Drawing and have studied in the Gage Ateliers. Students Painting Atelier, and the Still Life work daily under one instructor, drawing and Painting Atelier. Read about all painting from life and on individual projects in three on page 23. their shared studio space. In addition to meticulously building artistic skills, there is much else that is taught. Students learn firsthand the focus and dedication needed to succeed as a professional artist. I also frequently hear the comment, “I had no idea how much I would also learn from my fellow students.”

INSIDE THE STUDIO

When I asked several recent graduates what they enjoyed most about their atelier training, they responded enthusiastically. Aron Hart, a Drawing and Painting Atelier graduate, said his favorite thing was “being able to focus on my art to the exclusion of almost everything else and having a place to go where creativity is encouraged, fostered and celebrated.” His former classmate Pamela Robinson loved “the camaraderie of fellow students who were as excited about art as I was and who provided constant support.”

Pamela Robinson, Gage atelier alumna

Aron Hart, Gage atelier alumnus

Upon completion some students themselves choose to teach and continue to pass on these time-honored traditions. Susan Bari Price who graduated from the Classical Atelier before becoming a Gage teaching artist herself believes that, “Learning is an active process. We learn by doing. The ateliers are a sanctuary of practice unequaled in its support of that process.” Gage is proud to offer three different outstanding atelier programs: the Classical Atelier taught by Juliette Aristides focusing on the Beaux-arts tradition, the Drawing and Painting Atelier taught by Mark Kang-O’Higgins, offering a contemporary approach, and the StillLife Painting Atelier taught by Gage cofounder and Artistic Director Gary Faigin. As Classical Atelier instructor Juliette Aristides says, “Becoming an artist is a process that happens gradually. The students who excel are not always the youngest or the most talented; rather it is those who have the courage and self-discipline to see it through to completion.”

BREADTH: A CROSS-EXAMINATION OF SEATTLE PORTRAITS March 18 – April 16

Toward Clarity features paintings on paper from current students and alumni of Tom Hoffmann’s Advanced Watercolor class. These students demonstrate a commitment to watercolor by virtue of the time and focus they to devote to the medium. Each artist’s work has evolved, and continues to develop, as a means of clearly communicating a personal interpretation of a visual experience.

Gage students and alumni are invited to put their best face forward and submit a self-portrait work in any genre, medium or style. Sam Davidson of Davidson Galleries juries the exhibition to award cash prizes for the three best portraits. Submit your work March 10-12 — see website for all the details.

A panoramic display of portraits lines the Steele gallery for this large-scale group exhibition. More than 20 local artists create a collective portrait of Seattle by exhibiting works that characterize local people and places. Executed in any media or style, the only limitation is that the width of each piece cannot exceed 20 inches. Exhibiting artists include Gretchen Bennett, Curt Labitzke, Michael Lane, Christopher Martin Hoff, Joseph Park, Anne Petty, Francesca Sundsten, Mark Takamichi Miller, Joey Veltkamp and Dan Webb.

BETWEEN CORNICE AND CANTILEVER April 22 – May 15

Gary Faigin’s Still Life Painting Atelier students present their most recent works exploring and expanding on the still-life tradition. Using the still life as a tool for the development of their own artistic voices, these student works range from the contemplative to the enigmatic.

Students from Mark Kang-O’Higgins’s Drawing and Painting Atelier present artworks based on independent projects that link observational studies and creative expression. Working with line and tone, light and shadow, color mixing and anatomy, these students exhibit their latest drawings and paintings as they strive to place their artwork in the broader context of contemporary art.

The Steele Gallery is nestled beneath sloping roofs and between storage closets and studios. Taking advantage of the absurd angles and eccentricities of the gallery, artists Iole Alessandrini, Julie Alpert, Jeremy Mangan and Leo Saul Berk display paintings and site-speciﬁc installations alongside drawings by architect Richard Sundberg. Together these works examine the ways we frame, design and conﬁgure structures and space.

GRATIS AT GAGE: Gage Lectures

Gage Lectures Each quarter, to contribute to Seattle’s arts discourse, Gage hosts lively lectures with working professional artists and art historians. The public is invited to attend these FREE events.

Anne Petty: The Figure as Storyteller Anne Petty Friday, March 18 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor FREE Exhibiting artist Anne Petty discusses the narrative relationship between the ﬁgure and its surroundings: how it interacts with space, environment and the viewer. Petty describes how her work examines the moments between the moments we tend to remember and how these brief instances begin to tell a story that has yet to be formed. As a result, the viewer becomes more of an active participant in the narrative, and not solely an observer. Petty also explores various themes found in her work including searching, loss, voyeurism, aging and the complexities of relationships. Anne Petty, a Gage teaching artist, completed her MFA at the University of Washington and her BFA at Missouri State University. She is a two-time recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation international grant and exhibits both locally and nationally.

Leo Saul Berk: Down the Rabbit Hole Leo Saul Berk Friday, April 22 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor FREE Leo Saul Berk speaks about his approach to art making and materials that helped him win the inaugural Arts Innovator Award in 2010 for the ingenuity of his artistic achievements and processes. Berk discusses how he utilizes 3-D modeling software and a Computer Numerical Control machine to create artworks exploring real and imagined space and the relationship between presence and void. Berk is a Seattle artist represented by Lawrimore Project and has been included in solo and group exhibitions locally and internationally. He received his MFA from the University of Washington has been awarded the Arts Innovator Award by Artist Trust and the Dale Chihuly Foundation, the Individual Artist Project Grant by 4Culture and the Grants for Artist Projects Award by Artist Trust. Berk has received numerous private and public commissions from institutions including Sound Transit, King County, the City of Shoreline, Vulcan Inc. and the University of Washington.

Margaret Davidson: Artist and Author Margaret Davidson Friday, May 20 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor FREE Drawing has changed. Contemporary drawing is an intense, sensitive, compelling, personal and utterly direct art form with its own concepts, characteristics and techniques. In this ﬁrst public presentation of her book, Contemporary Drawing: Key Concepts and Techniques, Margaret Davidson talks about the nature of this change and what makes contemporary drawing so complex and fascinating. Davidson examines the concepts of contemporary drawing described in the book, including surface, mark-making and scale, and will particularly focus on the most important concept: the artist’s intent. Davidson has been a teaching artist at Gage Academy of Art since 1993 and received her MFA from the University of Washington. Her drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the Bellevue Art Museum, the Smithsonian Institute, the Wing Luke Asian Museum and numerous galleries in the Northwest. She currently shows at Anchor Art Space in Anacortes, WA.

Jim Phalen

June 9

Seattle painter Jim Phalen, the subject of the retrospective exhibition Undercurrents of the Commonplace at the Frye Museum in 2003, joins us for a conversation about his work and his long career. Phalen’s still life and portraiture is both intensely observed and highly enigmatic. His descriptions of humble objects in often ambiguous space play off the tension between the representational and the abstract, the real versus the imagined. His use of oil paint is charged with a feeling for the surface and texture of the paint itself, the product of extensive layering, scraping and repainting. We talk about both the creation and the meaning of his intriguing images in this month’s ArtTalk. Phalen teaches two weeklong workshops this summer at Gage; read more on page 10.

Chris Engman

The ﬁrst photographer to participate in ArtTalk, Chris Engman is no stranger to painterly issues of light, space and the illusion of form. His complex, staged photographs are typically the product of days of work, and the resulting images call into question the integrity of the camera image as a literal record. Images in his most recent exhibition at Greg Kucera Gallery include the panoramic Variations, 120 different arrangements of six brightly painted 55-gallon drums. Other images feature landscape photographs printed large and set out in the very landscape they represent; in one case a photo within a photo within a photo. We talk to Engman about his process, his artistic goals, what he has learned from painters and what painters can learn from him.

ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS OF LANDSCAPE PAINTING IN SKAGIT VALLEY Mitchell Albala Mon-Fri 8:00am-11:00am & 3:30pm-6:30pm 8/1-8/5 [5 days]

PAINTING THE PORTRAIT Jim Phalen Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 8/1-8/5 [5 days]

ICON PAINTING IN EGG TEMPERA Irene Pérez-Omer Mon-Sat 9:30am-4:30pm 8/22-8/27 [6 days]

You begin your weeklong exploration of the portrait by covering the basic proportions of the head — the structure being one of your most important considerations. You start with drawing in charcoal on canvas with special attention paid to composition and perceptual analysis. Once the structure is established, you ﬁx your drawings and begin under painting in earth tones, wiping away the highlights. Then you move into painting, where color issues are examined, including how to get the best ﬂesh tones and how to use warm and cool.

In this intensive six-day workshop, you learn how to “write” a traditional Russian-Byzantine icon in egg tempera with 23.5 karat gold leaf halo and shell gold highlights through a rigorous step-by-step process. All of the students in the workshop write the same icon, St. Mary Magdalene.

Located on Fir Island in the heart of Skagit Valley, this summer plein-air retreat provides an agricultural panorama dotted with farmhouses, barns and fields in rural Washington, 60 miles north of Seattle. The nearby town of La Conner offers high-quality restaurants and a variety of accommodation choices. Explore practical solutions to the special challenges faced by landscape painting, including simplification through massing, composing the landscape space, strategies for depicting light, color mixing and managing your outdoor studio. Learn best strategies for starting a painting, through site selection and using an abbreviated underpainting to establish an effective design and value structure. Be a part of a close knit “art colony” as you benefit from daily demonstrations and lectures, a combination of exercises and free painting (in both early morning and afternoon sessions), several personal critiques per session, lunch time chats and group critiques.

PAINTING THE STILL-LIFE Jim Phalen Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 8/15-8/19 [5 days] The still life is one of the most enduring genres in painting. Start the week with a discussion of space: how to make it believable and the best methods to create it. Then move on to composition, such as how to use your positive and negative space relationships the most effectively, as well as an indepth examination of linear and atmospheric perspective. You begin your paintings with drawing in charcoal and progress to under painting in warm tones, wiping away to establish the highlight. Warm and cool color relationships, light and shadow, and color transitions are all emphasized throughout the weeklong program. WA1114

AMERICAN LUMINISM: COLOR, DEPTH AND DRAMA Charles Emerson Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 8/29-9/2 [5 days]

SCULPTING THE SELF PORTRAIT Tip Toland

For all of their painterly realism, Solmssen’s works have a geometric layout and sparseness of detail that lends them an abstract quality. As an instructor, he demonstrates methods for developing the pictorial elements in your oil paintings with rich, saturated color, high contrasts, atmospheric depth and a variety of paint surfaces. His sensitivity to composition and light values represents the ideal model for intermediate to advanced landscape painters. Solmssen gives painting demonstrations and works with each student individually. You spend time painting in Seattle’s Volunteer Park, as well as focusing on the city’s beautiful old homes and buildings and the landscape that surrounds them. WA1116

Luminism may best be described as an American counterpoint to European Impressionism, but with no visible brushstrokes, evoking an effect of being transformed by a pervasive light that seems to turn the work into an intense and silent glow. Over time Luminism has developed into a kind of mystic, sublime spectacle of awesome serenity or quiet power through sensual paint handling, atmospheric color effects and frequently strong contrasts of light and dark. In our own time, Luminism continues in the works of Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still in their searches for the abstract absolute with an evocation of the forces of nature and landscape history. In this workshop, you paint in oil or acrylic to emulate and study these works and devices, including an original work, in order to adopt their use in a logical, consistent and convincing manner relevant to the art of today. Explore the ideas, techniques, and color discoveries of Rothko and Still artists along with James McNeill Whistler, Frederic Church, Fitz Hugh Lane, John Singer Sargent, Albert Pinkham Ryder, Maxﬁeld Parrish, Albert Bierstadt, George Inness and Richard Diebenkorn. $15 materials fee payable to instructor.

Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 8/29-9/2 [5 days] Working with a master figure sculptor over five intensive days, learn to articulate your own image in solid clay with anatomical and expressive accuracy as you create a life-size self-portrait bust. Through demonstrations, discussions and hands-on practice, you learn to build a structurally sound armature, mass clay to create form and accurately render proportion in modeling your own skull, neck, shoulders and facial features. Using the mirror as your reference tool, you learn about anatomy, measurement and gesture of the head and upper torso. Toland also guides you in the particulars of describing your gesture, placement of features and refining details. Once you complete the solid-stage modeling, you hollow out your self portrait and reassemble it, making the last changes and finishing touches. On the final day, learn about hair applications and possible surface techniques after your artwork is fired. WA1118

Gage Curriculum & Foundation Programs ABOUT GAGE: Gage Curriculum

Drawing, painting and sculpting from observation form the cornerstones of Gage classes, which are open to artists of all ages and skill levels. With a focus on the humanist tradition, Gage presents the broadest range of figurative studies in the Northwest for artists of all ages and skill levels. For students seeking continuing education, Gage offers 10-week classes throughout the academic year (and two five-week summer sessions), as well as weekend and weeklong workshops, lecture series and open and reserved studio sessions. KEY TO SKILL LEVELS Beneath each class listing is a skill level. Use the below guide to determine your current level. Beginning: You have limited or no experience with the drawing, painting or sculpting practice and media. Intermediate: You understand the principles of rendering light, shade and value and can draw any object, including the figure, with reasonable proficiency; paint with an understanding of media application and use of color to describe form and space; sculpt with an understanding of structure, form and rhythm as well as basic techniques and tools. Advanced: You exhibit a technical mastery of drawing, painting or sculpting, and are beginning to focus on the “why” in addition to the “how.” GAGE FOUNDATION PROGRAMS All of the classes and workshops at Gage are open enrollment, meaning you can choose for yourself what to take based on your own interests and considerations. The Foundation Drawing and Painting Programs, however, were developed as a means to help students answer the question “what class should I take next?” These programs are designed with the structure of academic training in mind: building skills through an accumulating series of classes that offer both a breadth and depth of study. We believe a “foundation” in art is critical to a student’s success in achieving a solid understanding of core concepts for their own studio practice.

For student information and registration terms, see pages 28 & 29. 12

FOUNDATION CERTIFICATES While everyone is free to take classes noted as Foundation, formal enrollment in the Foundation Drawing and Painting Certificate Programs allows you the opportunity to earn a Foundation Certificate and offers distinct advantages to taking Foundation courses a la carte. The certificate benefits include quarterly guidance with our curriculum advisor, a certificate of completion and a solo show in the Entry Gallery at Gage. The cost for enrollment is $250 per certificate and you have five years to complete each Foundation program. The Foundation Drawing Program does not require a portfolio, however, enrollment into the Foundation Painting Program requires the completion of the Foundation Drawing Program or a portfolio review with our curriculum advisor.

THE GAZE: A CONTEMPORARY VIEW OF THE FIGURE Sharon Arnold Wednesday 7:00pm-8:30pm 4/27-5/25

INSIDE THE ARTIST’S STUDIO Studio Guide: Lauren Klenow Sunday 3:00pm-5:00pm 4/17-6/5

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, 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.

Arnold presents a contemporary view of the ﬁgure in art history and how it has changed over the centuries. You also explore how “the Gaze,” manifested through French philosopher Jacques Lacan in mid20th century post-structuralism, erupts into controversial feminist theory of the 1970s and 1980s. Learn not only how the stories and the subjects change, but also how the story of the maker changes, and how a new dynamic has emerged between the artist, the subject and the viewer.

Spend five Sunday afternoons throughout Seattle visiting the working studios of professional artists. Learn firsthand how they generate their ideas, develop finished works and approach different art making processes. Gage Exhibitions Coordinator Lauren Klenow leads the discussion in each studio inviting you to participate in lively conversation.

M DRAWING TECHNIQUES OF VAN GOGH & SEURAT Margaret Davidson Tuesday 1:30pm-4:30pm 4/12-6/14 One of the best things about studying Modernism in drawing is looking at the vigorous and well-known works of van Gogh, and then discovering the lesser-known but amazing drawings of Georges Seurat. Van Gogh’s drawings are fearless and strong, consisting of complex layers of ink lines and dots that depict landscapes, people and his mood. Seurat’s drawings, done with black crayon on bumpy white paper, are edgeless and atmospheric, and show us an approach to drawing that was completely and utterly new. Study and copy these two great artists — learn how they drew, why they worked the way they did and how to apply that understanding to your own art today. D1128

FLEMISH PAINTING TECHNIQUES OF THE OLD MASTERS Hamid Zavareei Monday 6:30pm-9:30pm 4/11-6/13 [9 wks, no class 5/30]

The works of the Flemish old masters such as Jan Van Eyck and Rogier Van der Weyden contain some of the most meticulously detailed rendering in western art. Each stage of the painting process was undertaken with ultimate care and veneration. In this class you learn the Flemish technique, which involves rendering the image in two major stages: underpainting and overpainting. As you create master copies, discover how to prepare the surface, lay down or transfer the drawing, and execute the underpainting with egg tempera in the ﬁrst stage of the painting and then learn the details of overpainting such as varnishes and oil glazes and how to interlace egg tempera laid wet into wet glazes or used as highlights in the ﬁnal stages of the work.

VENETIAN PAINTING TECHNIQUES NEW! OF THE OLD MASTERS Hamid Zavareei Wednesday 6:30pm-9:30pm 4/13-6/15 Italians adapted the Flemish painting technique that originated in the Northern European Renaissance by substituting the egg tempera underpainting with oil paint and using canvas as opposed to wood panels, which allowed for larger paintings and compositions. This signiﬁcant advance in painting technique is responsible for the burgeoning of oil painting on a scale that was unprecedented and has continued to be the foundation of academic learning throughout Europe. Follow this tradition as you create master copies and learn to lay the initial paint layer called Imprematura and develop the underpainting, working with the layers of scumbles and glazes to the ﬁnal touches and highlights.

BAY AREA ABSTRACT NEW! & FIGURAL PAINTING Charles Emerson Thursday 9:30am-12:30pm 4/14-6/16 This mid-century San Francisco art of personal expression, spontaneity and communication of feelings within a Modernist aesthetic was based upon the teachings of both Mark Rothko and Clyfford Still and their search for a new American Art. Influenced by Asian art and calligraphy, Zen Buddhism, modern jazz, Beat poets and the paintings of Giorgio Morandi, it morphed into a sensual, emotionally charged art of inventive paint manipulation, a new color sense and radical visual compositions. Learn from a teaching artist who was there as an art student, and complete weekly painting exercises in oil or acrylic as you move from abstraction to a new form of inventive landscape, and finally to a series of personal figure paintings. $15 materials fee payable to instructor.

Cezanne, Van Gogh, Gaugin and Seurat; all academic based painters who, in their search for a more personal, spiritual and relevant expression, changed the way we see art forever. All four are key to the understanding of Modernism, most importantly in the area of color. These new ideas were critical in composition, expression, paint application, visual rhythm and overall painting. Explore the how and why of these art giants through a series of lectures and painting exercises in oil or acrylic devised to more fully understand the impact of their new realities and why they remain so relevant to today’s art in their appeal to both intellect and emotion. $15 materials fee payable to instructor.

Gage Ateliers

ADULT PROGRAMS: Gage Ateliers

unning from September through June each year, Gage 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. At Gage, all atelier students are given an individual studio space to complete projects independently under the guidance of their chosen instructor. Working together in group studios, atelier students enjoy the beneﬁt of creative inﬂuence and dialogue among their peers within a focused environment.

Photo Matt Brown

Enrollment in the atelier programs is yearly, with 35 weeks of dedicated instruction over nine months. The calendar for the 2010–11 year runs September 13 through June 24. For 2011-2012, the ateliers run September 12, 2011 through June 22, 2012. Aristides’ and KangO’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 free access to all Drop-In Figure Studios and any Gage Evening Lecture Series on art techniques and art history, which run throughout the academic year.

STILL LIFE PAINTING ATELIER Gary Faigin

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. You work from casts, the model and master copies in a series of progressively complex projects. Intended for long-term students, the Classical Atelier offers you the necessary vocabulary to create well-designed and well-executed drawings and paintings.

Spring opening is available — call 206.323.4243 x 15 to inquire.

The Still-Life Painting Atelier offers painting students interested in focusing their studio practice on the study of still-life arrangements over the course of a year. 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.

ALL LEVELS AT1104 11-12 ANNUAL TUITION: $7,230

Intended for long-term students, the Drawing & Painting 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 dialogue.

MARCH PORTRAIT DRAWING Sarah Bixler

MARCH EXPLORATIONS IN PAINT Jeanne Dodds

Have you ever drawn someone only to accidentally age them 50 years in your drawing? Learn to structure your observations and place those details (and unwanted wrinkles!) in their proper context. Beginning with classical structure and anatomy, you learn to reﬁne your observations, uncovering unique information about the face while gaining better understanding and use of graphite and charcoal.

Discover various painting methods and materials, revealing the diversity of painting styles available. You learn basic concepts of composition, brushwork, color palette and color mixing, shape/form and shading. Then apply these concepts to weekly projects that draw from both traditional (landscape) and contemporary (grafﬁti arts) painting themes.

APRIL PRINTMAKING SURVEY Romson Bustillo

APRIL FULL SPECTRUM DRAWING Ryan Finnerty

Experiment with a wide variety of printmaking techniques! Develop your printmaking skills so you can create your own original works of art on paper. Develop skills with basic “how to” foundations such as monotype, chine-collé and dry point on wood and Plexiglas so that you can create prints intuitively with a strong understanding of the creative potential of this media.

Bring life to your drawings, capture the color around you and connect the bridge between drawing and painting. Learn to see, interpret and express the color your drawings crave and how to realistically draw the colors you see. Bring the expressive colors out of your imagination, and learn tips and techniques with colored pencils, pastels and crayons. (Yes. Real artists actually use crayons!)

MAY PATTERN, SYMMETRY & TESSELATION Allyce Wood

MAY URBAN LANDSCAPES Julie Alpert

Learn a fantastic new way to make unique pieces of art out of multiple patterns, prints and drawings. Use printmaking, stencils, stamps and traditional drawing techniques to create art out of repeating patterns in the style of M.C. Escher, while learning how to use them to create complex and beautiful compositions.

Discover how your local neighborhood provides exciting visual material to help you understand perspective, light, composition and scale. Columbia City resident Alpert teaches you to use your surroundings (houses, trees, buildings, sidewalks, electrical boxes, telephone poles) as inspiration for paintings and collages. Working from photographs you sharpen your drawing and painting skills, leaving each class with a completed work on paper.

JUNE SURREALISM! Alisha Dall’Osto Surrealism is an art movement that combines elements of the real world within a fantasy setting, or fantasy elements placed in a realistic setting. Think about the artist Dali and his melting clocks, and you know where it all began. Use the power of surrealism in your own artwork to create deeply layered images rich in metaphor and symbolism. Over the month, you draw, paint and collage ﬁgures, self-portraits and landscapes.

GAGE YOUTH PROGRAMS Thalia Bell, 13, created this paper sculpture last fall in the free Teen Art Studios, 3D Installation, Light, and Space taught by Etsuko Ichikawa. Students were encouraged to use ordinary everyday materials in unconventional ways to create pieces of art using objects, light and even shadow as materials with potential. Bell regularly attends Teen Art Studios (TAS) and says it’s an inspiring and fun way to end the week. Find out more about the Friday night TAS on Capitol Hill and the Saturday night TAS in Rainier Valley on pages 30 & 31.
