ALISHA DALL’OSTO

Monday 6:30pm-9:30pm

1/19-3/23

Learn to draw the human face with ease and accuracy! For beginning drawing students who find the human face intimidating and frustrating, this course is designed to give the necessary practice and information to navigate facial structures, proportions and light. The first half of the class is strictly short poses, as you sharpen your ability to quickly block-in the basic shapes to capture the likeness of the sitter. The duration of the poses lengthen in the final weeks, giving time to render light and shadow, and develop higher contrast in your drawings. Instruction includes discussion about charcoal materials, drawing demonstrations, practical methods for capturing the form of important facial features, as well as developing a clear focus and concept for each drawing.

D1526W

Beginning

This introductory class offers a guided and safe approach in which you learn to see more accurately with the keys to drawing: angles, measuring and proportion, negative space, gesture and value. Working from simple stilllifes and organic forms, you progress from line drawing toward a nuanced understanding of tonal description. Also explored are the methods artists use to describe space, and how to compose your subject within the “picture window.” Homework required.

ABSTRACT DRAWING MICHAEL OTTERSEN

Wednesday 6:30pm-9:30pm 1/21-3/25

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.

Exercises progress from simple geometric forms to classical statuary. Class work includes demonstrations, individual and group critiques and lectures on light, form, value and painting processes. $450

Value refers to the range of light and dark, or black and white, underlying color. Representational paintings owe much of their power, structure, mass and volume to value and its careful consideration. In addition, gain a sense of pattern, mood, and the direction and intensity of light through the careful choice of value. In a series of projects of increasing complexity, hone your perception of value and learn to organize value to create a stronger graphic image.

Color is color only according to amount, placement and application — a concept based on Josef Albers’s Yale color course and translated into acrylic from cut papers. To effectively learn to see what is happening in a work of art, you develop your sensitivity to color beyond color charts and wheels, general color theories and many commonly held ideas. In daily studio exercises and critiques you explore color interaction using acrylics, space problems and most importantly, color density. The last two sessions include figure painting. Homework and further study problems are given and strongly encouraged.

PAINTING IN THE 19TH CENTURY

Passionate, sublime and inspirational, the art of the 19th century ushered in a revolution of invention and discovery, as the sharing of styles and ideas became more common through the advent of improved forms of communication and travel. The art at the dawn of the century paved the way for dozens of new styles and approaches while still keeping the older traditions alive. This lecture series looks at the progression of art in this era, tracing the changing aspects of the making and viewing of art and examining the influences of new technology and a tumultuous political landscape.

Mon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 3/30-4/3 [5 days]

This workshop approaches using color as a critical instrument of thought in contemporary painting. Color is considered as a means of producing form, as we explore a format (the variants) developed and used by Josef Albers to consider space, color, light and form. Closely consider various approaches to mixing a variety of hues, and developing sequences of color which produce phenomena of light, space and form. Activities involve color mixing expeditions, group discussions involving such queries, readings and discussions of essays from Relational Aesthetics by Nicolas Bourriaud, and the application of the color studies into the variants format adopted from Albers, producing color forms for consideration and discussion.

Begin with a small charcoal on toned paper, simplified in basic tonal shapes to understand how to organize a composition based on choreographing light. The concepts of understanding how to break up a pictorial space into interlocking shapes, movement and rhythm are explored here as an introduction.

Using the sight size method, the emphasis is on painting an, “optical impression” that is also optically the same size as the subject.

Your painting begins as a unified mass of shadow shape and background atmosphere, which also serves to block-in the drawing. As the forms emerge into the light, they achieve clarity through color, tone and edge quality.

Enjoy lots of opportunity to learn how to mix colors, achieve appropriate textural quality such as glass, metal, organic fruits, drapery, etc., and how to create a sense of space.

Notan is a Japanese word that means “darklight harmony,” and expresses this most elemental aspect of a composition through a type of study that uses only two values.

Working first from master works, then photographs, and finally from life (still-lifes) in painting, drawing and collage exercises, you learn to identify the dark-light composition and, most importantly to, “think in notan” — to make better choices in the formative stages of your work so as to bring greater order and power to your compositions.

Note: This is not a class that teaches Asian-style painting; rather, it explores a universal principle that is applicable to all types of painting and drawing.

Discover the role pattern can play to create interest in your collage work. Explore positive and negative space, shape, contrast, rhythm and variety as you compose numerous collages. Experimenting with simple printmaking techniques adds to the methods and materials available for your compositions.

FAIGIN ATELIER Still-Life Painting

JULIETTE ARISTIDES

MARK KANG-O’HIGGINS

GARY FAIGIN

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.

PERFORMANCES WAYNE BUND: SASS MANIFESTO April 24

7:00 pm

In Sass Manifesto, Bund uses an arsenal of characters from Pan, the Greek god of lust, to Feyoncé, a queer appropriation of the pop diva Beyoncé, to illuminate the thin line between the self and the other. This performance is a high-energy tour-de-force of pop culture, radical feminism and queer theory.

Part Tina Turner-Proud Mary, part Judith Butler-Gender Trouble, Bund’s drag persona Feyoncé tackles self-doubt, optimism and feminist lineage. Sass questions originality and the anxiety of influence an artist endures during the creative process, and asks the audience to witness the interior monologue of an artist dealing with ethics and morals around feminism and drag.

EXHIBITION ASSOCIATED WORKSHOP WAYNE BUND: QUEERING FANTASY April 25

10:00am – 2:00pm

Explore the creation of stories of social change and personal empowerment through physical theater and group collaboration. Participate in a variety of activities, culminating in a small informal presentation to the group.

Activities include physical warm-ups, improvisational games, activities of play (such as one might find in a kindergarten classroom), and techniques from Devised Theater (also called collaborative creation). Participants are given plots and actions from traditional normative stories (fairy tales, stories touched by Disney, well known romantic comedies, etc.), and through the workshop activities, create new fantastical characters and new stories. $15

Artists’ Reception and Awards Ceremony: Thursday, January 29, 5:00pm-8:00pm

Self-portraits can reveal a student’s skill in a given medium and composition - but some of the best self-portrait work reveals the nature of the artist at a point in time. A $1000 Gage Tuition Grant will go to first place, $500 to second place and $250 to third place, and this year’s exhibition will be juried by Seattle artist Daniel Carrillo. Open to all current Gage students.

NOVEMBER 13 – JANUARY 23

Artist’s Reception: Thursday, December 11 5:00pm – 8:00pm

Having recently moved to Cambodia, Lauren Iida’s intricate paper cutaways help her process and preserve her experiences with the people and landscape of the country. A recent graduate of Cornish College of the Arts, Iida’s work explores notions of figure and place that transcend geographic and cultural borders. Her images demonstrate that despite our distances, we all inhabit the same bodies and share the same moments.

LET’S NOT TALK ABOUT ME Guest Curated by 2014-2015 Curatorial Intern Andrea Goodman JANUARY 29 THROUGH FEB 27

Opening Reception: Thursday, January 29 5:00pm – 8:00 pm

Jeff Downer, a Vancouver, BC based photographer, meditates on the banal and unnoticed features of our society and captures the loss of returning home after being gone for an extended period. These images are deeply personal and bring life to details we often miss. We get to witness a journey of alienation, loss and discovery through his photographic tableaux.

MARCH 6 – MAY 8

Opening Reception: Friday, March 6 5:00pm – 8:00 pm

As spring is emerging from winter we begin to look out-of-doors for new inspiration.

Landscape painters’ subject matter is varied from urban to rural, from one tree to an entire meadow. Using lessons in perspective, light/shadow, color and seeing the character of natural and built forms, Gage students showcase their best landscape work.

Drawing is the beginning of things; the first communication. It can be deceptively simple, just paper and a marking tool. It can feel fragile. The catalysts for the predominately geometric work of Gage teaching artist Michael Ottersen are narratives, archetypes and contradictions. It is the relationships, connotations and tension between the forms that lead to potential narratives about experience, geography and history. Ottersen prefers that the information in his work is time released, providing the viewer with a slow read of initially simple scenarios in a complicated process.

Now an MFA student at DigiPen, Tara Jaiyeola returns to Gage to show her thesis work and spark a discussion about translating design from traditional to digital media and vice versa. Jaiyeola is developing a comparative analysis of character design and movement through puppets by creating digital characters and interpreting their design in parade-style puppets and masks. The physical puppets premier as an ensemble in the Fremont Solstice Parade in 2015.

Join Portland-based interdisciplinary artist Wayne Bund for a showing of his work in Seattle as a three-part extravaganza. In the Steele Gallery, he shows a continuation of the body of work, Idle and Blessed, a grouping of photographs and video depicting a tribe of men finding home in the play and games of childhood and mythology. During the run of the exhibition, Bund performs the choreographed dance-drag-theater piece Sass Manifesto as a full-length work. Bund then teaches a one-day movement-based workshop around queer identity, entitled Queering Fantasy.

12:30pm-1:30pm Geo Studio FREE

6:30pm FREE Bainbridge Island Museum of Art

Ceramic artist Akio Takamori has created a unique body of work – a world of characters that blend Eastern and Western traditions, and express a wide variety of psychological states. He has also done parallel work in photography and drawing, not to mention being a master craftsman. Join us as we talk to Akio about how he sees his appealing clay humanoids: are they self-portraits, people he knows, or universal types?

In her ongoing series Watershed*, Olympic Peninsula artist Karen Hackenberg presents a light-hearted yet subversive approach to the serious subject of ocean degradation; a tongue-in-cheek taxonomy of the new post-consumer creatures of the sea. Painting traditionally with oil and gouache, she lovingly and meticulously crafts beautiful images of conventionally ugly beach cast-offs, creating a provocative juxtaposition of form and idea.

DECEPTIVE SIMPLICITY: THE SCULPTURE OF MARK CALDERON THURSDAY, MARCH 12

12:30pm-1:30pm Geo Studio FREE

The sculptural forms of Mark Calderon are bold and simple. However, the ideas that underlie their appearance are anything but.

Calderon draws on art history, historical religious imagery, as well as personal experience and ecology as sources of inspiration.

The final results are refined, often enigmatic sculptures that only reveal their complicated pedigree with time, but can also be enjoyed simply as beautiful objects. Join us as we explore his creative process, and how all those complicated threads get formed into one decisive result.

Join host Gary Faigin as we travel to the beautiful Bainbridge Island Museum of Art to explore Karen’s influences and inspirations, and discover the unique sense of humor behind her vibrant creations. Reception to Follow. *Don’t miss, Karen Hackenberg: Watershed at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, October 11-February 22. More at BiArtMuseum.org.

Karen Hackenberg first developed her connection to the natural world in the pastures, orchards, wooded hills and beaches along Long Island Sound in rural Connecticut. She earned her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design before migrating west to San Francisco. Her work appears in many private and permanent public collections, including the New York State Museum, Providence Medical Center and the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

Diego, Frida & You: A Gage Art Tour of the Motor City

A UNIQUE TOUR OF AMERICA’S MOST FASCINATING CITY IN TRANSITION: DETROIT JUNE 25 –JUNE 29, 2015 Tour only (no hotel) - $950 Double- $1390/single - $1,830 Airfare Not Included Curious about Detroit but aren’t sure how to navigate this edgy, art enclave alone? Join us for a unique exploration of Detroit and its industrial past, and see how artists are helping shape its future. Join Gage Artistic Director and Seattle Times Art Critic Gary Faigin for an exclusive tour of America’s most fascinating city in transition.

Detroit was the Seattle of the mid-20th Century, a boomtown where cultural and artistic life was rising along with the economic tide. In the midst of the good times, Henry Ford’s son Edsel brought Diego Rivera (accompanied by Frida Kahlo) to town to paint what turned out to be Rivera’s masterpiece: the Detroit Industry fresco. Now the Detroit Institute of Arts is mounting an unprecedented exhibition on both the creation of the mural and Diego and Frida’s life and art in Detroit.

While the show will be the centerpiece of our visit, we’ll also spend serious time with masterpieces in the DIA collection, visit nearby Dearborn, and view the signature melding of art, landscape design and architecture that is the Cranbrook Institute of the Arts (where we’ll tour spectacular interiors not open to the public). The trip also features a close look at the edgy art outposts that have emerged in Detroit - industrial spaces-turned-art collectives where contemporary art and urban renewal are injecting new life into a city with an ever-changing future. Join us as we visit a very complicated and fascinating city, rarely on the touristic agenda.
