7/1-7/29

Tuesday

Drawing can be used as a tool for inquiry into potential projects in other media, or as a means unto itself. The building blocks of abstraction are line, form, color, value and surface. The subject of the drawing could be the process of its making or the materialization of a vision, or fall somewhere in between process and vision. Explore the many possibilities open to an artist in the creation of works on paper in various wet and dry material. Collage, 3-D inclusion and utilizing multiple reference points are approached as catalysts to the drawings, as well as a continuing discussion about classical and contemporary art history. D1560SU

Cast drawing is a time-honored approach for developing the necessary skills to accurately model the effects of proportion, light and shadow - essential building blocks for undertaking more complex subjects like the face or figure. In a step-by-step approach, begin building your drawing with a block-in, the foundation of the classical drawing process, and then model the large and small forms with tonal values. Finally, practice and hone your expressive skills through various gesture drawings, as you grow confident in rendering what you see onto your drawing surface. D1570SU

This workshop focuses on the quick sketch, as you practice reducing a scene to its key elements. Pencil, pen or watercolor; emphasis is placed on recording the basics — the viewer’s impression and main idea. An understanding of general principals of perspective is helpful, but guidelines, vanishing points, etc., are foregone in favor of loose capture, while still invoking the artist’s subjective viewpoint and sensibility. Class is held outdoors as the weather permits, but principles can be demonstrated and explored through interior settings and still-lifes. Each day includes a demo on a specific focus: contours, contrast, composition, artist compositional options and more. D1576SU

Monday 9:30am-12:30pm 6/29-7/27

Experimenting with traditional watercolor techniques including various washes, glazes and scumbles, stretch the boundaries and experiment with looser approaches and different color pallets for flesh tones. This course is a study in both drawing portraits and application of watercolor in portrait painting. Study from live models focusing on the head, facial structures and proportion emphasizing the economy of line; capturing the essentials of the human face with 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. Light, shade, form and volume are constructed in gestural, broad strokes with the interplay of warm and cool colors with multiple layers of watercolor. Drawing experience recommended. Beginning

GESTURAL SCULPTING 6:30pm-9:30pm

8/5-9/2

Quickly learn to capture a variety of gestures of the human figure at a small scale from life. Emphasis is on observation, body structure and knowledge of proportion to create a new figure each one or two class sessions. As sessions progress, learn to observe from life and better understand gestures three-dimensionally. Sculpted gestures include a range of standing and sitting poses. Because you are capturing a variety of sketch poses by breaking down and re-building a new gesture each class, you become accustomed to working with the figure as a whole, and be able to better judge your own work with a critical eye. Instruction includes working alongside students, demonstrations, critiques and individual feedback throughout the class. Students wishing to keep the models from each class session may pay an extra fee per armature. S1521SU

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 create paintings that work as a cohesive whole.

Advance your understanding of the human figure’s complex construction while heightening your ability to draw a figure from observation. This workshop is designed to bridge the gap between standard life drawing practices and anatomical studies of the figure. Working from the model you systematically draw the figure to fit landmarks within a set proportion system. Simultaneously, you further your understanding of the figure’s structure by geometrically breaking down the forms of the figure as they are posed in space. Emphasis on gesture, balance and proportion are stressed throughout to aid in the illusion of credibly posed figures. You should leave this class with a better understanding of the figure’s key landmarks, form sense and construction as well as a greater ability to render a figure from life and from memory.

While attending the Boston Normal Art School in the late 19th century, artist and educator Albert H. Munsell (1858-1918) was keenly aware that a practical theory of color did not exist. From his own work and experiments, he devised the Munsell Color System, a practical notation system in which color is defined according to hue, value, and chroma. Munsell’s work was hugely influential in evolving color science theory at the turn of the century, and served as the basis for today’s color matching technology.

WI1503F All

Explore new and obscure drawing materials and methods to create unique illusions of the figure. Venture outside of the, “figure drawing box” by exploring alternative mediums to render the human figure. Classical ideas of rendering form are stressed throughout, but realized with unique techniques and supplies. Working from the model each day you focus on a new combination of different drawing mediums, such as ballpoint pen, acrylic, shellac and sandpaper on prepared surfaces of paper and wood. Approach this with an open mind and get outside your comfort zone so that you leave this workshop on a path to broadening your skill set and open doors to new ways of creating an image.

The Aristides Atelier, based on time-tested studio traditions, offers the opportunity to study classical drawing and painting techniques with master artist Juliette Aristides. Information is presented in a variety of formats intended to enable students of all levels to grasp even the most difficult concepts. You graduate with an unparalleled understanding of the principles of art. The Aristides Atelier curriculum is designed to provide fundamental drawing and painting skills with a strong emphasis on observation from life. Like the great studios of the past, working from the human figure in life drawing and painting forms a pillar of our program.

The Kang-O’Higgins Atelier emphasizes drafting and painting skills to empower you with the language you need to achieve full visual expression. Led by Mark Kang-O’Higgins, this course cultivates fluency with anatomical and technical knowledge, but also goes far beyond technique. You are encouraged to find your own forms of expression as you build familiarity with many different approaches to the figure embodied in historical and contemporary drawing and painting techniques. To this end, you engage in exercises that explore tonal relationships, light, measurement, figure structure and anatomy, and are expected to have a solid understanding of these issues in order to progress.

The Faigin Atelier works with a small group of painting students interested in focusing their studio practice on the study of still-life arrangements over the course of a year. Atelier instructor and Gage co-founder Gary Faigin uses still-life as a vehicle to teach the basics of representation, including value, drawing and perspective, as well as paint-specific techniques like glazing, impasto and control of edges. For more advanced students, studio still-life is a time-honored subject with unlimited potential. No other subject matter offers the artist quite as much control over every aspect of their pictorial effect, and none has as rich and interesting a history.

The Magrath Sculpture Atelier is a multi-year, part-time Atelier designed to confer the core disciplines needed to become a practicing figurative sculptor at a high level of excellence. Led by celebrated sculptor Michael Magrath, students learn to become adept in both traditional approaches as well as contemporary concerns in a variety of media. Build cumulatively upon the core skills of drawing and modeling from life, while adding critical understanding of anatomy and composition in the round and relief, as well as technical skills such as mold making, casting, basic fabrication and subtractive techniques in wood, stone, metal and composite materials.

The Georgetown Atelier at Gage Academy of Art is located in Seattle’s eclectic Georgetown neighborhood. Designed to provide students with a solid foundation in traditional drawing and painting, the Atelier features a curriculum of both observational and constructive methods to provide a balanced education. Founding instructor Tenaya Sims, a graduate of the Aristides Atelier, has both extensive training as a classical artist and an industry professional, and has modeled the curriculum from both territories. The Georgetown Atelier offers students a variety of programs to meet the needs of diverse interests, budgets and schedules, including full- and part-time programs in classical drawing and painting, digital painting and illustration.

R O SA L A Z Z A R I N I

Explore the “magic of the miniature” in creating contemporary pen and ink illustrations! Practice your observational skills and compositions in drawing from still-lifes. Build your own arrangements of assorted found objects, including personal belongings, to add symbolic meaning to your art. Master the use of fountain pens and brushes, as well as markers and pens to explore weighted line, stippling and fill-ins. Invoke the styles of famous artists and illustrators while borrowing from contemporary tattoo and calligraphy culture.

Push the boundaries of printed medium with innovative and customizable block printing techniques! Carve your own imagery into linoleum reliefs, and explore the depths of your image with color fades, stenciling, chine colle, layering and more. Utilize post-print enhancements with drawing and collage. Concept and aesthetics blend to create fully chromatic artworks that exist alone or as a series.

Capture expressive moments and develop your own narrative plot lines through the eternal practice of drawing. Use design and illustration techniques to take character design to the next level, expand your comic’s emotional depth and intrigue, and master the quick-sketch- a valued tool for brainstorming. Create beautiful illustrations from the world of fiction, your own life, or the emotive abstract using a range of wet and dry mediums on paper.

TAS@BAM kicks off in June, 2015 with, “Metal Infinity: Jewelry and Sculpture,” featuring teaching artist and BAM exhibiting artist Jana Brevick, whose show, “This Infinity Fits in My Hand” is on display at Bellevue Arts Museum from April 17 to August 16.
