People Who Paint People ABOUT GAGE: Introduction

“People who need people, are the luckiest people in the world.” — Barbara Streisand

ut first, be a student at Gage Academy of Art. A quick glance at our summer catalog shows people learning to depict people on nearly every page: Beginning Figure Drawing, Gesture Drawing, Portraits in Watercolor, Beginning Figure Sculpture, and the list goes on. Ever since our first workshops 20 years ago, Gage has featured the figure as a centerpiece of our curriculum. Not long ago, so did every other art school, but one of the most lasting consequences of the modern movement was a complete rethinking of the traditional curriculum. Since so little of contemporary art was figurative, and since so few artists continued to work in a representational vein, the idea of students devoting months and years to a mastery of the portrait and the nude seemed beside the point. Starting in the mid-20th century, these studies moved to the margins of most art school curriculums. Although the majority of our students will not pursue a professional career in portraiture, figure painting or figure sculpture, we at Gage are convinced that there are substantial reasons for everyone to put in serious studio time devoted to these subjects. First and foremost, there is no more effective way to develop hand-eye coordination and confidence in one’s draftsmanship, a prerequisite for any disciplined creative work. Second, there is no more satisfying subject when done successfully, and the thrill of a recognizable likeness or a graceful nude are rewarding goals in themselves, and a highly motivating result. Finally, the sorts of skills one develops with the figure — tone, form, perspective, color, composition — can be equally applied to any subject matter thereafter; if one can do the figure, one can do anything. Most of our students are content to achieve a certain level of competence with the figure and stop there, but for those who aspire to take their figure work to the next level, there is the opportunity to take on the ultimate challenge: complex figure compositions in which people interact with their surroundings and with each other. Two of our fall workshop teaching artists — Geoffrey Laurence and Perin Mahler — and two of our Foundation teaching artists — Terry Furchgott and Anne Petty — are masters of the complex figure composition, and they have created classes in which such works will be conceived of and created. Atelier instructor Mark Kang-O’Higgins regularly assigns narrative, figurative projects to his students, and Atelier instructor Juliette Aristides currently supervises an independent studio with fourth-year students executing large-scale figure paintings, impressively on view as part of their spring exhibition this past May. Life hasn’t become any easier for artists wishing to create ambitious, multi-figure compositions. We no longer share as a society the belief systems and aesthetic outlook that made these pictures central to earlier visual culture. Few pictures are as difficult to pull off. But perhaps (with apologies to Ms. Streisand), people who paint people are the luckiest people. Are you going to be one?

This past spring quarter, we asked our community to support the 2010-11 Annual Fund with donations that included the number 5, in order to reach our $95,000 spring fundraising goal. We are pleased to report that our community of students, parents, staff, board members, instructors and philanthropists rallied and Gage raised $97,082 with 114 gifts ranging from $5 to $15,000. One anonymous donor even gave $555.55 as his generous and creative contribution. As part of our Give 5 to Gage campaign, we invited students, instructors, parents and donors to speak about their belief in the Gage mission and why it is important in their own lives. You can view short videos featuring faces you may know at www.GageAcademy.org/ support. We truly appreciate the engaged and generous friends who helped Gage raise funds for our educational and community outreach programs. Thank you!

ABOUT GAGE: Gage Update

In Memoriam: Ellen Kessberger (1947-2010)

Margaret Davidson’s Sell-Out Booksigning On May 20, Margaret Davidson debuted her book Contemporary Drawing: Key Concepts and Techniques to an eager audience. More than 160 people crowded into the Geo Studio to hear Davidson speak about what makes contemporary drawing unique, techniques that are used, and artistic examples from local and international artists. After the talk, Davidson signed copies of her new book, selling out the night’s stock! Guests also enjoyed a Steele Gallery exhibition featuring 27 works that appeared in Davidson’s book, as well as an exhibition spanning the Rosen and Entry galleries showcasing the best of the Classical Atelier. Did you miss the event? Stop by the Gage offices to purchase a signed copy of Davidson’s book.

Ellen was a talented ceramic sculptor and watercolor painter who was inspired by wildlife and the rhythms and patterns of the natural environment. She loved the excitement and fluid movement of watercolor with its unexpected patterns and surprises. Ellen studied at Gage late in her career, focusing on figure drawing and painting with several Gage instructors and on the development of her abstract style with Julia Ricketts. We thank the executor of Ellen’s estate for donating her lifetime collection of art technique books to the Belyea Library.

Gage Art Book Club Begins this Fall Do you like reading about art? Join us for the free Gage Art Book Club where each month Ray Munger leads a discussion on a work of literature that entertains and informs us about visual arts and artists. Selected works span fiction, non-fiction, contemporary and classic, history, biography, essays and more.

A view down the Rosen Gallery hall; Classical Atelier graduate Zoey Frank with her painting Song; Classical Atelier graduate Elizabeth Zanzinger with her artwork.

Quick Sketches

The Gage Art Book Club meets the third Monday of each month from 7:00pm-8:30pm, beginning September 19. September’s book is The Painted Word by Tom Wolfe. Check out www.GageAcademy.org/events for information about the book and discussion questions.

Gage is buzzing with news! Here are a few items of note this fall:

We are honored that Gage has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) for the first time. The grant will help support the Youth Programs and specifically for our free weekend Teen Art Studios on Capitol Hill and in Rainier Valley (see pages 30-31). We are excited to receive both funding and recognition for this valuable program from the NEA.

Gage has been accepted into Storefronts Seattle, a community-driven program to fill the growing number of vacant storefronts in the Pioneer Square and International District with vibrant, engaging enterprises. Gage will create a “satellite” space where you can see Gage artists at work, view exhibitions and participate in figure drawing studios. More information will be available soon on the Gage website.

Starting this fall, Gage is partnering with Utrecht to provide off-site dropin open studio sessions on Thursday nights. This means you have extra opportunities to draw or paint from the model! Utrecht will host the drop-in studios in its Capitol Hill store, and you can use your Gage open studio pass or simply pay in the store for the session. Look for more details on page 13 and at www.GageAcademy.org/studios.

Oil paintings by Ellen Picken unearth rural mythologies. Her skilled hand is overcome by expressive manipulation of paint, just as nature overcomes the idealist’s dream and homesteader’s shacks.

Selected paintings, drawings and sculptures from students who took classes and workshops this summer at Gage Academy of Art.

Tucked away in the corner of the United States, the Pacific Northwest offers a unique landscape that provides unending inspiration to the artists of this region. Tied to this landscape are also historical stories of pioneers and exploration that founded the cities and cultures we know today. Artists Justin Colt Beckman, Matthew Browning, Elias Hansen and Allyce Wood exhibit works that ruminate on these connections to their native landscape and investigate the curious spirit of the pioneer.

NEW WORKS ON PAPER October 18 – November 12 Opening Reception: Friday, October 21, 6:00pm-8:00pm For the past six years Joey Bates’s work has revolved around the portrait and examining facial expressions. In this new body of work, Bates focuses on the full figure, experimenting with both paint and cut paper.

PLANTS : SPACES November 14 – January 12 Opening Reception: Friday, November 18, 6:00pm-8:00pm Gage artist Larine Chung, a graduate of the Classical and Still Life Painting Ateliers and current Gage teaching artist, presents a new group of exquisitely rendered paintings exploring various plants and spaces found at Gage and in the artists’ studios. This exhibition demonstrates Chung’s mastery of technical skill and her own artistic vision.

FINDING FORM October 17 – November 12 Opening Reception: Friday, October 21, 6:00pm-8:00pm Current Gage students show off their figurative side presenting both preliminary sketches and completed works exhibiting their foundational skills and the fundamental importance of studying the human form.

EMERGING VOICES November 16 – January 12 Opening Reception: Friday, November 18, 6:00pm-8:00pm This annual exhibition features artists who have learned foundational skills at Gage and are now working as emerging artists developing their own creative concepts and techniques outside the classroom.

SELMA WALDMAN: GESTURE AND EMPATHY October 19 – November 12

see lecture

Opening Reception: Friday, October 21, 6:00pm-8:00pm The superbly executed drawings of Selma Waldman (1931-2008) are reminiscent of Rembrandt, Francisco Goya and Käthe Kollwitz. Selected works from Waldman’s Falling Man and Naked Aggression Series show the intensity of her social concerns and are matched by the ferocity of her gestural imagery, bonding archetypes of war and genocide, to the demands of witness, the passion for justice and the discipline of drawing.

October 13 Mary Ann Peters

November 10 Thomas Wood

Mary Ann Peters is an artist who uses sources from architecture, lost histories, science, personal heritage, politics and questions of perception to inform her work. Her mixed-media drawings are expressive and poetic, combining recognizable elements with more gestural marks, and making eloquent use of the surrounding negative space. We talk to Peters about her complex working process, as well as how her gallery work relates to her large-scale, site-specific commissions.

Thomas Wood is a Bellingham-based painter and printmaker, whose work combines the familiar and the fantastic. The Pacific Northwest landscape is a decisive presence in his work, transformed and purified with the intensity of a true romantic; but another presence is often apparent as well, denizens of a more imaginative universe where the animal overlaps and interacts with the human. We look at both the prints and the paintings, and discuss the relationship of the observed versus the imagined.

ESSENTIAL BRUSH TECHNIQUES Suzanne Brooker Fri-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 9/9-9/11 [3 days]

CRASH COURSE IN COMPOSITION Anne Lewis Sunday 9:30am-4:30pm 10/16 [1 day]

Brushwork is the signature of an artist. Learn how to develop the skills needed for interpreting volume, space, movement and texture through brush handling. A close examination of mediums and an exploration of techniques helps you understand how the viscosity of paint achieves different painterly effects on a variety of surfaces.

Artists are constantly making decisions: both the conscious and unconscious minds play roles in these decisions. Believing that experience nourishes intuition, this crash course is a “lab” designed to exercise and build compositional skills. The immediacy of collage lends itself well to fast and informative projects, however, you may work in any medium of your choice.

GERMAN EXPRESSIONIST WOODBLOCK PRINTING Angielena Chamberlain Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 11/12-11/13 [2 days]

WW1128 BEGINNING $295

THE CITYSCAPE IN WATERCOLOR Tom Hoffmann Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 9/24-9/25 [2 days] The rigors of city life demand constant adaptation. As visual artists, you devise your own ways to interpret the complex urban environment. Spend a weekend translating your personal vision into the washes and strokes that are the vocabulary of watercolor. You set up your easels on wharfs and in alleyways, painting Seattle’s diverse neighborhoods from life. WW1129 INT/ADV $195

COLOR CONTRASTS FOR OIL PAINTERS Suzanne Brooker Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 10/8-10/9 [2 days] What are the basic relationships between hue, value and intensity? How do you, as a painter, juggle these forces within color relationship to create mood, expression and meaning? Find answers to these questions and explore the hidden potentials of your palette, as you build a more sensitive eye toward color in fast study paintings. WW1130 BEGINNING $195

COLLAGE ARTISTS Explore four in-depth weekend programs this fall dedicated to collage.

ADULT PROGRAMS: Weekend Workshops

eekend workshops at Gage, taught by respected professional artists, offer you the opportunity to explore new media and subject matter, return to a personal art practice or upgrade your artistic skills.

WW1131 ALL LEVELS $95

INTRODUCTION TO COLLAGE Anne Lewis Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 10/22-10/23 [2 days] Create with existing imagery and ephemera; explore composition, color, shape, pattern and texture. Take time to alter and juxtapose design elements of everyday materials to develop your own collage process. This workshop is designed as a stand-alone program, or can serve as an excellent follow-up to Crash Course in Composition.

Focus on creating unique and daring woodblock prints based on the pictorial boldness of the German Expressionists. Learn how to incorporate multimedia papers and materials into your final print, as you practice new woodblock techniques and also experiment with monoprint. WW1134 ALL LEVELS $195

THE PAINTED PORTRAIT SKETCH Michael Lane Fri-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 12/9-12/11 [3 days] Create painted portrait sketches and studies that capture the essential information of your subject in a sketch format. These sketches are created for their own sake or for reference when working on a larger painting and your sitter is no longer available. Quickly analyzing the subject in terms of planes, tone, temperature and color is covered repeatedly as you work from rapid block-ins to longer studies.

WW1132 ALL LEVELS $195

WW1135 ALL LEVELS $325

MIXED-MEDIA IMAGE LAYERING Patrick LoCicero Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 10/29-10/30 [2 days]

THE SURREALIST FIGURE IN COLLAGE Claudia Fitch Sat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 12/10-12/11 [2 days]

Learn the processes and skills needed to energize and make the surfaces of your paintings complex, nuanced and rich with meaning. Through the process of mixed media, found object and collage, you explore various background layering techniques. You learn how to integrate dissonant materials in a composition to create a successful finished work of art. Historical and contemporary examples inspire you to find your own voice and lead to a unique and personal iconography.

Create the human figure as Dali or Max Ernst once did: fantastical, mysterious, dream-like and humorously unpredictable. You examine the works of surrealist artists and explore the methods of their craft: games of chance, cut-out images from mass media, personal photos, wrappings and other materials. Techniques you experiment with include cut and paste on paper and tag board, contour drawing, painting ink silhouette shapes and charcoal/pencil rubbings.

GROUP FIGURE COMPOSITION IN OIL Perin Mahler Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 12/5-12/9 [5 days]

Working with a master figure sculptor, 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. WA1118 INT/ADV LEVELS $650

How do you inject compositional excitement and complex subject matter into your paintings? Historically, classical painters used drawing as a preliminary means to work out their compositions and motifs. At Gage, students with strong drawing skills are invited to study under a master figurative realist to learn how to develop complex pictorial compositions utilizing different modes of drawing.

Painting a multi-figure composition in an interior space represents a challenging pictorial project, even for an advanced artist. In this workshop, you learn how to work from multiple-model poses, as well as photographic references, beginning with monochromatic drawings that develop your compositional focus. You then create color studies based on your drawings, exploring the color harmonies created through the compositional effects of hue and saturation. Finally, you produce an easel-sized alla prima painting of the entire scene.

(price includes clay)

AMERICAN LUMINISM: COLOR, DEPTH & DRAMA Charles Emerson Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 8/29-9/2 [5 days] In this workshop, you paint in oil or acrylic to emulate and study the works and devices of luminist masters. Explore the ideas, techniques, and color discoveries of artists Rothko and Still along with Whistler, Church, Lane, Sargent, Parrish, Bierstadt, Inness and Diebenkorn. $15 materials fee payable to instructor. WA1117 INT/ADV LEVELS $600

LANDSCAPE PAINTING IN SEATTLE Kurt Solmssen Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 8/29-9/2 [5 days] Solmssen 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. WA1116 INT/ADV LEVELS $600

Each day, Laurence introduces you to a different method to make in-depth drawings from the model and the background around the model. Laurence also demonstrates various ways to make extended drawings from the figure, regardless of the length of the pose. You work in conté crayon, charcoal, ink, water media and acrylic, treating each blank page like a canvas that you enliven with your tonal compositions, filling the paper from edge to edge. Your final preparatory studies feature active figures in an interior that you create from sketching the live model, your preliminary drawings and reference photographs. Your final multi-figure composition is intended to give you fertile visual material for future painting projects. WA1119 INT/ADV LEVELS $625 (or by permission of instructor)

You are also invited to explore the textures and color structures that furniture, drapery and props can add to your composition. Most important, you work to create a believable spatial environment for your figure tableaux that suggests narrative content. Demonstrations presented in this workshop include how digital photography and Photoshop can become an integral part of your painting process, how to develop narrative structure through composition and color, and the progressive steps — from general to specific — of how to develop a complex, multi-figure composition.

EXPRESSIVE PORTRAIT PAINTING Yuqi Wang Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 1/2-1/13 [10 days]

Under the tutelage of Aristides, instructor of the Gage Classical Atelier and author of three books on classical methods, you use techniques common within the 19th-century beaux arts curriculum to accurately and confidently render the figure in space. Alternate between practicing the block-in phase of the drawing and working on a long pose that lasts through the whole week, as you expand your understanding of the human form through an exploration of human anatomy, proportions, perspective and the utilization of negative space, light and shadows. WA1201 INT/ADV $625

“Yuqi was generous with his passion and with his artistic knowledge.” — Cheryl Zahniser, workshop student

As a foundation for your own contemporary works, Laurence instructs you in the indirect painting techniques of the Venice and Florence schools of the 15th and 16th centuries. Working from the model, each day you progress through set stages of this rigorous painting technique in order to complete one finished portrait by workshop’s end. Progressing from compositional studies, you develop a careful underdrawing of your portrait on the canvas and fill in your portrait with a monochromatic grisaille painting to establish your tonal gradations. You then overpaint your portrait with a classic dead palette of red oxide, yellow ochre and cold black plus white before applying a warm/cool palette that pushes the value contrasts and gives your portrait a beautiful tonal depth. The final stage of your painting process includes working with a full color palette while applying glazes and scumbles, as required. This is an advanced course suitable for anyone with an interest in classical painting techniques and intermediate painting skills. WA1122 INT/ADV LEVELS $675

THE HORSE: ANATOMY AND ACTION Matt Buckner Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 1/9-1/13 [5 days] Study equine structural anatomy and mechanisms of locomotion through Buckner’s fascinating series of lectures.

Contrasting opposites resonate through Wang’s emotive portraits, where technical mastery is countered by spontaneity; where realism and abstraction exist side-by-side; where brush strokes and color build solid structure, deconstruct space and express gesture; where the character of the sitter is both magnified and mysterious. This alla prima oil painting workshop begins with a demonstration of how color and composition, balancing the negative space and laying in the initial under painting, builds the foundation upon which to lay in your portrait. Special attention is paid to varying brush strokes, understanding the picture plane, turning form with color and temperature, and sculpting space with contrast, foreshortening and placement. As his own portrait progresses, Wang divides his time between individual critiques and painting from the model. As you work alongside this master portrait painter, you learn the relative aspects of value, color and depth to reinforce the balance and cohesion of your finished portrait.

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 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

Gage artists work alongside guest teaching artist Susan Bennerstrom during a weeklong workshop.

EXPLORING THE DRAWINGS OF KLEE, DUCHAMP AND PICABIA Margaret Davidson Tuesday 1:30pm-4:30pm 9/13-11/15

Margaret Davidson Tues/Thurs 6:30pm-9:30pm 9/13-11/17

The development of Modernism as seen in drawings takes a complicated and sometimes witty path. Artists of the early 20th century such as Paul Klee, Marcel Duchamp and Francis Picabia experimented with unusual materials and also incorporated secrets, puns and sexual innuendo into their art, all while working with the more common issues of form, space and content. As you study and copy these artists’ drawings, you also seek to decipher and decode both the meanings and methodologies of their witty and sometimes sly drawings. D1163 ALL LEVELS $420

Master the practical and theoretical aspects of drawing from observation through rendering the still life and the figure in black and white media and learning to draw the face and head from models. Development of visual problem-solving skills is stressed through concentration on accurate drawing, tonal value, perspective, composition and spatial arrangement. Furchgott devotes 10 sessions to still life and 10 to the model, while Davidson focuses all 20 sessions on the still life. This course is the first in a series, which continues with Foundation Drawing II (winter), Aesthetics of Drawing (spring) and Figure Drawing in Interiors (spring).

CLASSICAL ATELIER Juliette Aristides

DRAWING AND PAINTING ATELIER Mark Kang-O’Higgins

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.

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.

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.

Youth Update YOUTH PROGRAMS: Update

Gage Makes Classical Art Training Fun This fall, Gage Youth Programs continues to offer more frequent classes with a broader variety of subjects for kids and teens. Sign up your kids for a great mix of fun and skill building, each month featuring a different subject. Teens, in particular, can broaden their skills and techniques while building a portfolio to be proud of. Along with more variable and flexible programming, teen classes have now expanded to twice a week to accommodate a more comprehensive curriculum. Teens who take Gage youth classes learn valuable skills in drawing and painting from observation, anatomy of the figure, and have the opportunity to experiment with abstract and conceptual development under the guidance of practicing artists. Many of our teens go on to apply for college with greater confidence and stronger portfolios! Can’t fit the quarterly teen classes into your schedule? Make sure you drop in to Teen Art Studios, our free Friday and Saturday night program on Capitol Hill and in the Rainier Valley, respectively. We make sure to offer the same excellence in our programming as we do the rest of the year, bringing in teaching artists from the Seattle art community such as Doug Parry, Greg Stump and Susannah Bluhm. To learn more about each of our teaching artists, see www.GageAcademy.org/artists.

AUGUST FIGURES PAINTING THE FIGURE Doug Parry

AUGUST THE ANATOMICAL FIGURE Kyle Abernethy

Discover the fun of not only being the painter, but also being the subject and stars of the work. You learn to see, interpret and paint the human form while exploring the skills used to pose as costumed models and to develop unique stories in paintings. While incorporating costumes, props and a dynamic stage, you also collaborate with each other on a mural-sized painting on paper.

Learn the basics of anatomy as you develop your skills in drawing and observation! You get in-depth instruction on basic forms, the relationships between muscle and bone, and how the underlying structure develops a finished drawing of the human figure. Over four weeks, you draw from both life and your imagination to develop a working understanding of the human body.

SEPTEMBER ILLUSTRATION & IDEAS Greg Stump While aspiring illustrators are wise to hone their drawing techniques, conceptual skills are often just as important in creating an effective illustration. Explore the key elements of visual communication like composition, clarity of expression, narrative and problemsolving. Discover work by great illustrators and then create your own visual interpretations of texts, themes and ideas.

SEPTEMBER THE ART OF THE SELF PORTRAIT Kate Johnson

OCTOBER BEGINNING OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING Sarah Bixler

OCTOBER PAINTING FORM & COLOR Susanna Bluhm Discover the possibilities of paint and canvas! Using acrylics, you learn the basic painting skills needed to express your ideas and represent what you see. Whether a beginning or experienced painter, you participate in fastpaced exercises to music, color studies and creative still-life setups. You also tackle longer projects that explore conceptually imaginative ideas and intent as well as composition, form and technique.

NOVEMBER* PAPER POSTER STREET ART No Touching Ground Explore the techniques and materials wheat paste artists use for collage, papier-mâché and paper posters in urban art! You’ll learn how to use photocopies, linoleum block prints, and stencils to make your drawings; what materials to use when wheat-pasting, and what kind of walls work best for longevity. Also discover which contemporary artists are pushing the limits in the medium.

NOVEMBER* CHIAROSCURO: DRAMATIC BLACK & WHITE Kerstin Graudins Learn to compose dramatic black and white artworks with charcoal, creating what’s called chiaroscuro. You are guided through the process step by step as you draw from observation, learning to see with a critical eye and to work toward more realistic images. Improve your drawing skills as you render light and shade to create a strong tonal drawing, working on a value scale from darkest darks to brightest white.

No Touching Ground Kyle Abernethy Kate Johnson

Learn the difference between what you see and what you think you see when you look in the mirror! You use a variety of mediums including pencil, charcoal, ink, pen and watercolors to explore the psychology and anatomy behind portraiture and the language of expression — including learning the 43 different muscles in the face! Draw from a photograph, from a mirror and from memory.

Susanna Bluhm

Construct believable, realistic drawings using nothing but paper, charcoal and your own observational skills! Through demonstration and hands-on practice, you learn to look at still-life setups in order to see shapes and form in your composition, helping you make the drawings you create seem as solid as the real thing. Learn about value and shape, figure/ground relationships, how to use a plumb line and why drawing instructors keep telling you to squint!

Learn how to build a drawing from the ground up and transfer it to a linoleum block! Look at examples of contemporary art made from linoleum blocks and then try it yourself.

Compose images within the world of fantasy, as you learn how to make convincingly realistic figures in your imaginary realm. You explore traditional drawing techniques and anatomical principles, then meld those with common hybrid elements like pointed ears and insect wings. This is a great class to learn and apply classical rules of composition, proportion, perspective and light.

Transform cardboard boxes into fully functional cardboard shoes working from models and templates provided by Leavitt. You learn about cardboard cutting, tooling, leather-like conditioning, folding and rigorous assembly. Starting with a solid cardboard sole, build a shoe body, form the toe, add details and trim and even cut tie-able shoelaces! For the ambitious cardboard cobbler, boots, sandals and high heels are not out of the question.

Discover the imaginative works of Cubists, Dadaists and Surrealists such as Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst and Man Ray. By combining observational and imaginative drawing techniques with collage, you develop new relationships and connections between experiences and visual ideas. Combine hand-drawn elements with found images and textures to create dynamic and surreal self-portraits, landscapes and other compositions.

Leavitt creates custom action figures, cardboard creations and more, which have been featured in publications including The Stranger, Seattle Magazine and Elle Decoration. T1108 $335

Pothast is a multimedia artist and writer who earned an MFA from the University of Washington. Her work has been exhibited at a number of local and national venues including the Henry Art Gallery and the SAM Gallery. T1109 $255
