CovEr Artist: AmY wEiskopf Guest Teaching Artist An accomplished painter, Weiskopf has exhibited nationally and abroad, including at Hirschl & Adler Modern in New York and Hackett Freedman Gallery in San Francisco. “For myself, the pleasure in looking is the fundamental force behind the power of visual arts,” says Weiskopf. “I believe painting can provide a particularly complex, therefore, pleasurable experience. This complexity is the result of highly orchestrated visual contrasts: spatial, tonal, chromatic and textural.”

bACk CovEr Artist: viviAnE poUlAinE Gage Teen Artist, age 16 Poulaine is a junior at Issaquah High School who says that the 2011 Teen Intensive helped her gain one-on-one instruction while learning how to pay attention to shapes and proportion. In particular, the painting portion of the program taught her how to work with color, temperature and value relationships to make a strong composition. She says the best part of this program was feeling she was able to really expand and develop her skills in a relatively short time. Read more about the Youth Programs at Gage on pages 30-33.
i
n representational painting, there are two issues that are always first and foremost: what you are painting, and how you are painting it. In portraiture and landscape work, the “what” often takes precedence over the “how.”
Still-life painting is another story. Because the subject matter in a still life is so often repetitive or mundane, the “how” factor becomes much more prominent. We’ve seen hundreds of paintings that include bowls of pears or piles of apples, for example, but the difference between the emotional temperature, or quality of paint between one version and another, can be enormous.
Amy Weiskof
Vincent van Gogh and Willem van Aelst were both Dutch flower painters, but you would never mistake the one’s work for the other’s. Van Aelst, a leading still-life specialist of the Dutch Golden Age (1610-1680), painted in a meticulous, literal fashion that satisfied the demands of his pragmatic, middle-class customers. Two hundred years later, van Gogh painted his famous sunflowers in a bold, energetic way that helped found a much more personal painting style: expressionism. Perhaps the best example of the “how” taking precedence over the “what” came in the generation after van Gogh. In the early 20th century, when the two friends Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso decided it was time to take apart the basic assumptions of Western art, the humble still life was the chosen vehicle for their explorations. Never mind that they painted the same cups, wine glasses, pipes, playing cards and newspapers over and over again (French cafes were obviously a crucial part of their daily routine), in the five years or so of their project, they more or less invented Modern Art.

Looking at these still-fascinating paintings 100 years later, we can be forgiven if we barely notice the titles (Still Life with Pitcher and Apples, Still Life with Glass and Lemon, etc.) or even the subject matter (often unrecognizable). Instead we study the way space is created and destroyed, color is removed and then selectively re-introduced, outside elements are added on (the invention of collage) and abstraction is flirted with but never totally embraced. As Picasso and Braque demonstrated, still life is a perfect example of the often-observed truth that the more you limit your options, the more creativity you can potentially unleash. You’ve already admired the splendid still-life cover of this catalog, the work of a master of the genre whose paintings I’ve long admired, coming to Gage for the very first time: Amy Weiskopf. Amy’s work is aware of both its Golden Age, and early Modernist predecessors, and her beautifully crafted compositions reveal all sorts of sly references to both art history and sexuality. Her paintings are not nearly as straightforward as they at first appear. Fans of the still life always have lots of options at Gage, you can find workshops on pages 10 & 11, including painting Luminous Flowers in Oil with Jane Jones, and classes on pages 18–21.

Robin Siegl and Terry Leness exhibit recent paintings focused on themes of disaster, deconstruction and disintegration. Fascinated by the ruinous qualities of their subjects, both artists create striking compositions balancing form, reflective light and shadow.
Whether created en plein air or in the studio, this Gage student exhibition invites the outdoors into the gallery showcasing stunning landscapes and portraits of places both near and far.
Robin Crookall presents new work including large-scale photographs and video depicting near mishaps and absurd accidents. Crookall’s images revolve around the creation of contained worlds referencing those found in natural history museum dioramas and taxidermy. Beginning with the absurdity and futility she finds in restoration practices, Crookall creates compelling vignettes of implied action, which, through photography, allow her contrived realities to convince the viewer that these spaces and moments in time once existed.
Give Yourself some Time Alone February 17 – March 22 Opening Reception: Friday, February 17, 6:00pm-8:00pm A new series of works by Jameson Hubbard explores the lessons learned from living alone on an old homestead in the Whidbey Island woods.

Opening Reception: Friday, February 17, 6:00pm-8:00pm Gage students display drawings, paintings and mixed-media works exploring the realm of abstraction. By abbreviating form and referencing the representational, students use color, texture and material to create striking abstract compositions.

Exhibiting artist Robin Crookall discusses the process of turning three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional images. Crookall highlights the similarity between her photography and painting, explaining how both manipulate space, scale and perspective to freeze them in a still image. As she describes the meticulous building of her still-life setups and photographic techniques, Crookall uncovers how creating two-dimensional images can change the way we perceive these objects and spaces. She also explains why creating the spaces she photographs enhances the reality of her work.

Norman Lundin Friday, February 17 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd floor free Norman Lundin, Seattle-based painter, lectures on composition and visual logic. Using both historical and contemporary examples to illustrate his points, Lundin discusses what is involved in composing with negative space, the logic of color space and what it means to think abstractly while painting realistically.
For the last several decades contemporary art has grown to encompass an endless list of materials viable for creating artwork. This group exhibition brings together artists working across a variety of media to collectively examine how the “brick and mortar” materials of traditional art processes, drawing and painting, continue to lay the foundation of contemporary art today. Exhibiting artists include Norman Lundin, Pat DeCaro, Robert Maki and Amanda Manitach.
Professor emeritus Norman Lundin taught figure drawing and painting for decades at the University of Washington. He has been a visiting artist at more than 30 universities and art colleges. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Seattle Art Museum, the Brooklyn Museum and many others. He has had more than 60 solo exhibitions. In Seattle, he shows with Francine Seders Gallery and is the director of Prographica. Norman Lundin

The Making of The Realm of the Feminine: Interior Edge
Opening Reception: Friday, March 30, 6:00pm-8:00pm
Christine Golden Friday, March 30 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd floor free
Ten figurative artists exhibit ceramic sculptures that dissect and expose fragments of the psyche, each creating her own distinct and emotive landscape encapsulated within a human rendering. Tip Toland, Christyl Boger, Lisa Clague, Cristina Cordova, Adrian Arleo, Anne Drew Potter, Kathleen Skeels, Aisha Harrison and Christine Golden showcase the female figure as a vehicle to explore the personal nuances of the feminine.
The female form, as represented in clay, has had a long and fascinating history. Guest curator Christine Golden describes how the artists were chosen for the Steele Gallery exhibition and elaborates on the concept of the Interior Edge, which presents a contemporary take on the portrayed feminine. This exhibition highlights artists at various stages in their careers, all creating their own unique imprint on contemporary figurative ceramics. Golden is guest curating this Gage exhibition as part of the 2012 National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conference.

Alternate between practicing the block-in phase of the drawing and working on a long pose that lasts through the whole week. 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

— Cheryl Zahniser, workshop student 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. Wang divides his time between individual critiques and creating his own demonstration 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. Wa1203

— Jane Jones Throughout this intensive week of study, you learn strategies to create convincing illusions of flowers, as well as gain a thorough understanding of underpainting and glazing in oil. Working from both fresh and silk flowers, you focus on painting detailed studies of several different floral varieties to learn their specific characteristics and artistic challenges. You start with a focus on understanding the structure of the flowers, their form and dimensionality, and how they interact with the space around them. Beginning with detailed drawings, you progress to neutral and colored underpaintings, which you glaze with layers of transparent color akin to painting with stained glass. Your workshop experience is also enhanced by demonstrations and individual critiques. Wa1204

“Still life is more intimate, more about looking inward than other genres. Traditionally, historical narrative painting was considered most important. Still life was the anti-heroic and the least important genre. The intimate and anti-heroic appeals to me and is much more suited to my psyche.” — Amy Weiskopf, from an interview with Larry Groff Still life offers a unique opportunity to explore both the analytical and sensual aspects of painting. During the first week, you focus on formal issues, particularly color and light, and how the two create space. Beautiful, expressive color comes from understanding light. You start with a series of quick paintings to establish the tonality of a setup, that is, learning to quickly capture the light. In the second week, you begin to use the elements of light, color, three-dimensionality and space to compose. You explore weaving two-dimensional and three-dimensional aspects of painting together to create a compelling composition in oil. In addition, Weiskopf provides demonstrations and you analyze many still-life artists’ paintings, including Chardin, Morandi and Giovanna Garzoni. Wa1205

— Jon krutsky, workshop student The Fauves were instrumental in liberating color in painting at the turn of the 20th century. The key was understanding that color has its own form as do the forms we see in our everyday world. The translation between the form of color and the color of form (and light) opens up very interesting pictorial possibilities. In this intensive week of study, you work on setting up a palette in oils and laying out color spectrums for dealing with form. Emphasis is placed on specifically mixing neutrals and values, mixing a spectrum of temperature, and ultimately using pure color to render the value, temperature and form which we see. Progressing quickly from value to temperature to full chroma, you complete the workshop with a significantly colorful interpretation of form and vision. Wa1206

— George e. Wishon, workshop student Grisaille, or monochromatic painting, is a fundamental step in learning how to paint in a naturalistic way. This method offers a logical transition from drawing to oil painting and simplifies the challenging art of objective figure painting. By allowing you to thoroughly examine “form as value,” as distinct from color (though not necessarily with black and white pigments), your studies in grisaille provide an important precursor to future fullspectrum figure paintings. In this one-week workshop, you develop a deeper understanding of how to achieve luminosity through value and monochromatic oil painting. Working from the model, you create small, single-sitting value studies during morning sessions and a larger, fully rendered painting in the afternoon. These two complementary working methods serve as the vehicle for you to explore issues concerning grisaille painting. Raynolds presents daily demonstrations and his individual critiques complement relevant studio topics such as composition, the anatomy of light and shadow, paint handling and your painting materials.

Gage Curriculum & foundation programs
o
pen, Reserved and Mentored Studios provide opportunities for Gage students and artists in the community to work independently from the model or on personal projects under the mentorship of a Gage instructor.
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.
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.

In the tradition of all professional art schools, Gage offers drop-in figure studios every day of the week. Artists work independently from the model on a drop-in basis, gaining hands-on practice in drawing, painting or sculpting the figure. In Artist’s Choice sessions, the pose is set by a Gage instructor who works alongside studio artists for the duration of the pose.
In the Reserved Figure Studios, a group of dedicated artists works from one figure pose throughout the 10-week quarter, with the pose set on the first night. Artists must register before the quarter begins to guarantee an easel space.
Connect with a Gage mentor for guidance on your creative journey. Depending on your skill level, mentors give private art lessons or assess your work, make suggestions for further study and help develop a road map for your future study. To enroll, call Gage to help you determine the best match for your mentoring needs.

Art in tHE rEnAissAnCE Gary Faigin Thursday 7:00pm-8:30pm 2/2-2/23
Buckner provides a clear introduction to human anatomy from the point of view of the artist. Major elements of the body are analyzed in terms of bone, muscle and simplified “mass conceptions” that allow for more accurate drawing and aid in figure invention. Canons of proportion are also discussed. Anatomy for the Artist is part of an ongoing series of technical lectures for artists, preceded by Principles of Perspective Drawing (fall) and followed by Drawing the Head (spring). The lectures can be taken sequentially as a series, or independently of each other. For the related studio class, see Artistic Anatomy on page 16.
This four-part lecture series focuses on the extraordinary development of realism in Western art during the Renaissance. Faigin examines the invention of perspective through the gradual emergence of organized space in the early 14th century, ending with the High Renaissance. He explores the evolution in depiction of the figure from stylized to naturalistic, and the emergence of portraiture as an independent subject. The final lecture presents the long career of Venetian artist, Giovanni Bellini, who made the transition from linear to painterly, something no other artist had yet accomplished, a style that soon dominated the art of Italy and the rest of Europe.

Against all odds Paul Gauguin stubbornly struggled to find an art, place and life that did not exist and so tried to create one. In the process of newly inventing the world he sought, he became one of the greatest and most influential modern masters. He explored new emotive possibilities of color, flattening space and using both abstract and decorative forms in new and sometimes provocative ways. We analyze his art, not only the myth, as we study the products of a unique genius who believed all art was either plagiarism or revolution. No registration required. free

Discover how even the smallest mark or color on a two-dimensional surface impacts the relationships that form your compositions. You complete a series of projects that incrementally introduce you to the language of design. Problem solve as you explore design elements such as line, shape, color, texture, form and value.
A continuation of Beginning Drawing I, you continue to practice judging angles, measuring proportion, assessing negative space and recording gesture and value. Building upon the principles covered in the fall, you learn to apply them to drawing interiors and landscapes, and conclude with portrait sketching from life.

Learning to draw a sculptural cast from direct observation gives you practice in studying line, tone and mass. You begin building your drawing with a block-in, the foundation of the classical drawing process, then model the large and small forms with tonal values.
Modernism as expressed in early 20th century drawing is full of excitement, especially when looking at the works on paper of Picasso, Kurt Schwitters and some of the Italian Futurists. Movement, mood and the simultaneity of all sensory impressions are everything, so drawings fold and bend, collages weep or confront you, and every material, from wallpaper to tar, is fair game. Using drawing, collage and paper sculpting, you copy pieces and create original work as you develop your own responses to these intense ideas. D1202

Build your knowledge of human anatomy as you compare the structures of humans to other species including horses, dogs and cats. Using pencil and charcoal, learn to give your drawings substance by working from the underlying structure of the body. Later in the quarter, you examine how growth, age, gender and similar aspects affect the anatomical underpinnings of drawing the human form.
Working in a variety of drawing media, you continue to build a foundation of skills and methods for creating accurate, emotive renderings of the human figure. You learn concrete techniques for conveying form, contour, structure and volume. Anatomy and proportion are stressed throughout, while class discussions and critiques add context and breadth to your new skills.

You compose in colored pencils, but your color learning applies to your future studies in paint as well. Prerequisite: Beginning Color Theory or equivalent. D1218

MODERNISM SERIES
Portraits in Watercolor Hamid Zavareei Monday 1:30pm-4:30pm 1/16-3/19
Modernism is always contemporary, individual and relevant to the here and now. To be a modernist is to be aware of the great art of the past, conscious of the present and open to new ideas and aesthetics while exploring new ways of best expressing a personal vision. Charles Emerson, Margaret Davidson and Barbara Fugate, three long-standing Gage instructors, have built a two-year Modernism Series curriculum covering the development of Modernism from the old masters up to present day. Each instructor will teach one class per quarter through Spring 2012. Look for the in our class listings, and visit www.GageAcademy.org/adult for a full schedule.
Experiment with both traditional watercolor techniques and looser approaches to capture the essentials of your portrait model. You focus on head, facial structure and proportion, placing an emphasis on the economy of the line, and allowing for the watercolor to build up the volume and structure of the head and face through color and value. Explore light, shade, form and value with broad gestural strokes in warm and cool colors. P1201 ALL LEVELS $450
Beginning Landscape Painting: Color & Value Suzanne Brooker Monday 6:30pm-9:30pm 1/16-3/19 Gain a fuller understanding of how value and color work to create form and space in a landscape through a series of structured exercises that explore their dynamic interchange. Discover what happens when you paint layers of white over a dark surface in oils or acrylics to create values and challenge yourself to create a colorful painting that uses no white paint at all.

This course is second in a three-part series, which continues in the spring. New intermediate students welcome.
Learn techniques for the accurate drawing and painterly representation of figure, drapery and clothing, then put it all together in a series of lively alla prima sketches of dramatically costumed models in theatrical settings. You learn to manipulate the relationship between color, value, temperature and saturation to suggest texture, light and threedimensional volume. Working with a selection of limited palettes, you learn to simplify complex subjects, create believable images full of light and drama and balance accuracy with spontaneity. Basic figure drawing skills and previous painting experience are required.

Portrait Painting Studio Michael Lane Saturday 2:00pm-5:00pm 1/21-3/24
Three important elements to painting are color, composition and the use of contrast. Your choices of each, of how they are balanced and utilized, produce distinctly different imagery. Using oils or acrylics, you make both quick painting sketches and longer studies from the figure model to explore different depths of space, color combinations and line. You also study dynamic compositions, limited color palettes and various uses of contrast. Painting experience recommended.
Discover, learn and paint the startlingly new colors of Fauvism, the structured ambiguity of Picasso’s and Braque’s Cubism, the dynamic movement of Futurism and the radical invention of Matisse. You explore these and other areas in small works using oil or acrylic paint, learning technique, color, composition, structure and aesthetics, as you work toward a larger, finished work incorporating select ideas from these movements. Work partly from the figure and build to a logical and meaningful abstraction. $25 materials fee payable to instructor.
An extension of Portrait Painting in Oil, this course builds on fundamental concepts with special attention paid to essential issues such as lighting, composition, accessories and more advanced oil painting techniques. You focus on longer poses as you tackle portrait concepts to increase your aptitude in rendering costume elements, hands and the environment.

You both draw and paint (in oils or acrylics) from the figure model studying each artist’s innovative translations of line and composition, including Matisse’s lyrical line, Picasso’s massive lines and volume and de Kooning’s gestural line moving through ambiguous space. Some painting experience is recommended. P1226 Intermediate $450
NEW! Painting the Visual
Michael Howard Friday 9:30am-12:30pm 1/20-3/23
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. 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.
The visual, for the painter, exists beyond words. Color, composition and brushwork are non-verbal in nature, depending on internal relationships within the painting for their meaning. Focus on a selection of subject matter and varied approaches to pictorial construction, color mixing and composition, as you build your intuitional painting skill through classroom projects and supplemental readings and discussions.

Basic brush techniques are emphasized as the paint layers develop into finer details. P1221 Intermediate $420

Portrait Painting Studio Michael Lane Saturday 2:00pm-5:00pm 1/21-3/24
Three important elements to painting are color, composition and the use of contrast. Your choices of each, of how they are balanced and utilized, produce distinctly different imagery. Using oils or acrylics, you make both quick painting sketches and longer studies from the figure model to explore different depths of space, color combinations and line. You also study dynamic compositions, limited color palettes and various uses of contrast. Painting experience recommended.
Discover, learn and paint the startlingly new colors of Fauvism, the structured ambiguity of Picasso’s and Braque’s Cubism, the dynamic movement of Futurism and the radical invention of Matisse. You explore these and other areas in small works using oil or acrylic paint, learning technique, color, composition, structure and aesthetics, as you work toward a larger, finished work incorporating select ideas from these movements. Work partly from the figure and build to a logical and meaningful abstraction. $25 materials fee payable to instructor.
An extension of Portrait Painting in Oil, this course builds on fundamental concepts with special attention paid to essential issues such as lighting, composition, accessories and more advanced oil painting techniques. You focus on longer poses as you tackle portrait concepts to increase your aptitude in rendering costume elements, hands and the environment.

Intermediate Watercolor Tom Hoffmann Wednesday 1:30pm-4:30pm 1/18-3/21 Work with increasingly complex subjects as you expand your understanding of and dexterity with watercolor. Working from the still life, landscapes and photographs, you learn to individualize your painting process, better understand the variables of watercolor painting, use the variables to your creative advantage and take informed risks. Students should have completed Beginning Watercolor or have basic watercolor experience. P1223 Intermediate $420

Line & Space: Matisse, Picasso & de Kooning Barbara Fugate Thursday 6:30pm-9:30pm 1/19-3/22 There is a seamless consistency in Matisse’s, Picasso’s and de Kooning’s attitude of line, space and volume, whether they worked on paper or canvas. You both draw and paint (in oils or acrylics) from the figure model studying each artist’s innovative translations of line and composition, including Matisse’s lyrical line, Picasso’s massive lines and volume and de Kooning’s gestural line moving through ambiguous space. Some painting experience is recommended. P1226 Intermediate $450
NEW! Painting the Visual
Michael Howard Friday 9:30am-12:30pm 1/20-3/23
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. 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.
The visual, for the painter, exists beyond words. Color, composition and brushwork are non-verbal in nature, depending on internal relationships within the painting for their meaning. Focus on a selection of subject matter and varied approaches to pictorial construction, color mixing and composition, as you build your intuitional painting skill through classroom projects and supplemental readings and discussions.

Ecorché (Fr.) is an anatomical construction of a flayed figure, exposing the muscles for purposes of study. Under the guidance of your instructor, you construct a figure from the inside out — revealing the specifics of anatomy and proportion through hands-on work with the skeletal structure and musculature on the skeleton of a human form. Figure sculpting and anatomy experience required.
Experience a clear and intuitive method for mastering the fundamentals of three-dimensional modeling, as well as develop advanced skills that radically improve your ability to see and understand the figure. You work from the same pose for the entire quarter, with the pose also available in the independent Sculpture Reserved Studio on Thursday nights — allowing you up to 20 sessions to develop your work. (Register separately for ST1203.)
Refine your ability to see and render the figure as you study the underlying forms and uniting rhythms of the human body. You learn to hone your artistic intention to convey meaning in your work as you model a scale figure alongside your instructor from a sustained pose. Learn the logistics by working from measurements, and how to utilize photographs and life castings between sessions with the model. Buckner demonstrates the life-casting process. The pose is also available in the independent Sculpture Reserved Studio on Sunday mornings — allowing you many additional sessions to develop your work. (Register separately for ST1205.)

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.
aDUlt proGraMs: Gage ateliers
s
culpting classes for students of all skill levels are available at Gage. Whether you are just starting out in three dimensions or are a seasoned artist ready to take your work to the next level, Gage has a sculpting class to fit your needs. Clay is provided for all sculpting classes at Gage.
Gage Ateliers
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 2011-2012 school year, the ateliers run September 12, 2011 through June 15, 2012. Aristides’ and Kang-O’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 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 for the May 31, 2012 deadline, please visit www.GageAcademy.org or call 206.343.4243.

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.
