cover artist: michael grimaldi Guest Teaching Artist Grimaldi teaches drawing, painting and anatomy at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Art Students League of New York and the Janus Collaborative School of Art (which he co-founded in 2007). He says, “I teach because I believe that everyone must be given the chance to see, to develop, to learn the basics, which will serve to translate the vision into reality.”

back cover artist: erin wolf Gage Teen Artist, age 15

This June, Grimaldi teaches the 10-day workshop Advanced Figure Painting — a rare chance to study with him here in Seattle. See the course description on page 8 and learn more about Grimaldi on the Gage website.

Wolf is currently a student at The Northwest School, and last summer participated in the two-week Drawing Intensive as part of the Youth Summer Programs at Gage where she created the piece featured on this catalog’s back cover. Wolf says, “My favorite part of last summer’s class was the immersion of drawing. Just drawing all the time, every day for two weeks was so good for my skills. I loved both of the teachers and their different styles because we got a whole range of things to try and think about and practice. It felt like a serious art class, but it was still really fun and creative.”

the timeless figure aBoUt GaGe: introduction

By Michael Grimaldi

he human form has always been the starting point for artists, and a journey through human history would not be possible without reference to figurative art. Whether a classical Greek sculpture or Byzantine icon (representing man’s place among the gods), or Hokusai’s vision of the floating world, the chaotic din of Picasso’s Guernica, Käthe Kollwitz’ heart-wrenching Woman with Dead Child, or the couple deep in conversation in Edward Hopper’s Night: the “L” Train (representing man’s study the human form place among men), all tell at least a fragExplore fundamental concepts mentary story of mankind’s capacities. of portraying the figure this As a whole, figurative art tells the story of summer during the weeklong man’s greatest fears and deepest desires workshops taught by Michael as he or she directly responds to the Grimaldi, Zack Zdrale, Jordan banal and the sublime, tying all people — Sokol and Eran Webber. For more those yet to be born, the living and the information, see the workshop long dead — to the one commonality we descriptions on pages 8 & 9. all share: existence.

Courtesy ARTstor.org

For a work of art to remain timeless in the wake of passing trends and styles of the time, it must be created from a progressive mind-set capable of interpreting and communicating the human condition in unique and personally relevant terms (whether figurative or not). Through disciplined practice, the study of human form develops artists’ sensitivity to the seen world, and it is through the figure that artists begin their lifelong investigation of the subjective, perceptual experience.

Courtesy ARTstor.org

The exhaustive study of diverse aspects of the visual experience and the human figure challenges artists to expand their visual vocabulary while developing the necessary concepts and strategies to translate complex visual phenomena and selectively interpret, in personal terms, the visually emotive experience into a coherent and integrated visual statement through direct participation in the human condition.

Dankeschön! The annual Gage Collector’s Gala: Art Auction & Benefit was held Friday, March 2, to great success, raising more than $195,000 for Gage educational, outreach and scholarship programs. Saint Mark’s Cathedral was host to the event and provided a stunning backdrop to the Berlin Cabaret–inspired evening. Sixty five pieces of art were donated by Gage artists, alumni, teaching artists and friends, and all went home with happy guests! The night began with bustling silent auctions, passed appetizers and delicious spirits, then guests enjoyed dinner and a show with performers Frau Lola and Her Deutschland Band. Before the live auction got underway, the 2012 Gage Art Award was given to Trina Wherry for her unwavering support of the school. From the Fund a Need to the Dessert Dash, guests were generous to Gage all night long.

Spitting Image

in memoriam

aBoUt GaGe: Gage Update

The 6th annual Spitting Image Self-Portrait Competition exhibit opened on Friday, March 30, with awards co-juried by artist Gabrielle Bakker and Director Emeritus of the Frye Art Museum Richard V. West. Cash prizes of $500, $250 and $100 were awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd places respectively. Bakker selected Aristides Atelier student Bobby DiTrani’s portrait as the best in show, and wrote of the piece, “. . . it is a considered and finished work — it was a labor of love and it shows. Sensitive handling of paint, pensive mood, quite beautiful.” West chose Chandler Woodfin for 2nd place, Meg Murch for 3rd place and four honorable mentions (Helen Bouchard, Eden Hopkins, Jethaniel Peterka, D. Lisa West). West announced the awards to a full house, remarking that self-portraits are among the most complex and challenging subjects. He said, “I was pleased with the strong, overall quality of the exhibition and the display of a wide variety of styles and attitudes in approaching the problems posed by a self-portrait.”

Paul havas, 1941–2012 The Seattle art scene has been through many changes in the past 43 years. Amidst all the change, one thing has remained constant: Paul Havas one-man shows at the Woodside/Braseth Gallery. He lived for years in the flatlands of the Skagit Valley, where he transformed farmhouse, mountain and island into a collection of abstract pictorial elements fashioned by geometry, artistic selection and simplification.

Your generous expression makes a real difference and ensures that our mission to provide accessible arts education for our entire community will continue to enrich lives throughout the region. Thank you!

Christopher martin hoff, 1976–2012 Hoff was an inspirational artist and human being. His quiet, understated demeanor was never without keen observation or wit, and he spent most of his time simply working; his paintings reflecting a detailed perspective of the city in which we live but take completely for granted. His work demonstrates that there are hidden surprises and beauty in the arrangement of our urban world.

Opening Reception: Friday, August 3, 6:00pm-8:00pm Animation is rooted in practices of drawing, photography, collage, sculpture, filmmaking and storytelling. Through experimental combinations of these processes, it steps around them to find its own niche as a respected art form. Curated by Tess Martin and Webster Crowell, Stop-Framing Me exhibits their own recent work as well as animated short films of Stefan Gruber, Britta Johnson and other members of the Seattle Experimental Animation Team (SEAT) collective.

From the rebirth of ceramics to hyperrealism to 3-D projection and digital modeling, 3-D technology has become increasingly present in the art world. Gage teaching artist Michael Magrath, guest curator of the concurring exhibition Trajectory, leads a discussion about where this influence is coming from and where it may be going.

Stop-Framing Me — an Animated Discussion Webster Crowell & Tess Martin

free

Friday, August 3 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor Animation has a long and fascinating history, and finds its current manifestation in our local art community in ways that may surprise you. Through a lively discussion of how guest curators Crowell and Martin got their start as animators and the formation of SEAT and its role in the Seattle art community, they dispel myths and enlighten the history of this art form. They screen works not on display in the show and facilitate a Q & A covering all things animation with other SEAT artists. Crowell is an animator, filmmaker and builder with over 15 years professional experience in Seattle. He makes tactile, complex short films and features patiently weaving landscapes and characters in pursuit of his own idealized perspective on reality. Martin is the recipient of two 4Culture grants, two City of Seattle grants, an Artist Trust GAP grant and a Puffin Foundation grant in support of her films, including Plain Face (2011), a 10-minute short that premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival in 2011.

Get the most from painting outdoors this summer with this practical guide to creating fast oil paintings. Begin by learning how to choose and prepare your materials, including palette choices and color mixing strategies. A series of quick one-hour paintings teach you how to compose using a simplified block-in and direct painting techniques.

A collage starts with one scrap, one idea, or one image and builds to reveal a story of individual and often disparate elements. Take two days to examine that building process and explore the underlying structures to support the compositions you create. Experiment with collage materials and enjoy the playfulness and pleasure of this liberating medium.

Using techniques of medieval manuscript painters, you create a small painting using drybrush watercolor technique on calfskin vellum and embellish it with a simple gilding technique and real 22-karat gold leaf.

With the figure as your subject, explore the atmospheric use of value as you create one drawing in this intensive workshop. Each day begins with a half-day demonstration and lively discussions, with afternoons dedicated to drawing from the model. You use sepia pencil and paper to make a volumetric sensitively handled figure. Some prior figure drawing recommended.

Learn to overcome the difficulty of relating and interpreting what you see into what you are drawing. The first day, you create dozens of quick sketches of a model in motion while studying various sketch mediums and techniques; and during the second day, you practice sketching outdoors. As you sketch, you focus on studying proportions and the correct placement of lines, learning to accurately interpret what you observe onto paper.

Learn techniques to enhance the depth or color of your artwork using a rich multi-colored under painting of watercolor with subtle overlays of pastel. You focus on diverse textures and palette choices, creative mark making, and the interplay of color and tonal value as you complete lively sketches and one finished pastel painting. Inspiring setups include colorful flowers, glazed ceramics and the textures of melon, fish and glass, as well as one final day of figure work.

Spend a week focused on drawing the figure from life, approaching the subject from an academic point of view without limits on meaning and expression. You complete at least three drawings from three different poses, taking time to compose, measure and construct each drawing. Combine sight measuring, review anatomy and proportion, and relate this structural analysis to the light source in order to define the value pattern. Explore topics such as light on form, constructing the figure, materials, technique and composition as you produce finished drawings of which you can be proud.

Explore fundamental and advanced concepts of visual perception and their application to composing paintings from direct observation. A thorough understanding of the visual experience and of the human figure is essential for anyone wishing to express and translate these elements to the picture plane. Working on one pose for the duration of the workshop you learn elements of proportion, gesture, perspective, constructive anatomy and morphology, light on form, color theory and application, and composition through the sustained construction of a full-color, highly resolved painting in oil.

You alternate between developing a fully rendered charcoal drawing in the mornings and sculpting a half-life size (approx. 33 inches) figure in the afternoons. Both approaches are designed to complement one another, balancing both a visual and constructive approach to understanding the mechanism of the body.

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.

the figure in gesture Michael Magrath Tuesday 6:30pm-9:30pm 6/26-7/24

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.

Recreate and more fully understand the work of this master whose influence and appeal have never waned. The lessons contained in the working methods of Caravaggio continue to inform and enable the creativity of painters from Rembrandt to Gloria DeArcangelis. Working in oil with the same principles and materials as close to those used by Caravaggio as possible, you are expertly guided through the process to understand this great artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working methods.

Explore the expressive possibilities of clay, wire and other media. You start with short poses and work up to longer poses in order to increase your speed, fluidity and depth of observation. This class is a must for serious students and a great overview for beginners.

P1282

Learn clay-handling techniques as you work toward a finished and fired sculpture of an animal. You begin by constructing an armature, and as you create your piece, gain an understanding of how bones, muscles and skin come together with personality to best express the form. Demonstrations and hands-on critiques augment the class.

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. Enrollment in the atelier programs is yearly, with nine months of dedicated instruction. For the upcoming 2012-2013 school year, the ateliers run September 10, 2012 through June 14, 2013. Aristides’s and Kang-O’Higgins’s 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 a 10% discount on all concurrent classes and workshops: as well as free access to all Drop-In Figure Studios and any Gage Evening Lecture Series on art techniques and art history. to learn more or to receive application materials, please visit www.Gageacademy.org or call 206.343.4243. 2012-2013 Gage atelier applications are due thursday, may 31, 2012.

faigin atelier still-life Painting 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 Aristides Atelier offers you the necessary vocabulary to create well-designed and well-executed drawings and paintings.

Intended for long-term students, the KangO’Higgins 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 Faigin 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.

Zero in on facial features and paint vivid watercolors in this close-up exploration of the human face. Using every inch of the paper, you create eyes that stare and facial expressions that become the landscape of a human face. Train your eye for color, light and details, and practice techniques to add depth and dimension to your paintings and drawings with this fun approach.

Transform discarded items, found objects and personal memorabilia into beautiful and compelling works of art! You work with various materials and techniques like sculpting, papier-mâché and casting, as well as methods for hanging that help you express your creative vision. Bring your own box of found materials or personal memorabilia to begin your project!

june a thousand words Kyle Abernethy

june still life & storytelling Allyce Wood

Whoever said “a picture is worth a thousand words” was clearly looking at storytelling images. Learn the history of visual storytelling from Caravaggio to Norman Rockwell. Learn to apply traditional techniques and principles to creating an intriguing image, as you work toward a finished drawing that tells a story and communicates your thoughts to the viewers.

Learn traditional ways to draw still life with perspective, light, shadow and scale. The twist comes from creating a piece of art that uses what you’ve learned as well as your imagination! Your storytelling ranges from humorous illustration to emotional imagery with text, coming straight from your unique creative voice and artistic vision.

Combine patterns in nature with the power of your imagination by creating stylized trees, plants and strange creatures. Starting with flexible wire, you build a structure that captures rhythm and movement, molding the final shape with strips of burlap dipped in plaster. Add your own touch with colored shellac and paint washes at the end, creating a unique sculpture of your own design!

august guerilla fiber art Wyly Astley Street art is an excellent mode of selfexpression, but guerrilla art is made using more than just spray paint and stickers. Learn how to plan out and make yarn bombs, design a field of giant, purple vegetables for an outdoor installation or wrap a tree in a crocheted cozy. Get inspired by materials and techniques to make the city your very own gallery.
