Cover artist: Fred WesselGuest Teaching Artist

Wessel is a professor at the Hartford Art School in Massachu-setts where he teaches drawing, tempera painting and lithogra-phy, and he also leads workshops in Italy to paint and study the Ital-

ian Renaissance. This spring, Wessel teaches two egg tempera weeklong workshops at Gage (p. 11). He particularly looks to the early Renaissance for inspiration, saying “The ever-changing inner light that radiates from gold leaf used judiciously on the surface of a painting, and the use of pockets of rich, intense colors that illuminate the picture’s surface impressed me deeply.” Learn more about Wessel at www.fredwessel.com.Cover: Becca (Sundial), detail, 2006, 30" x 26", egg tempera with gold and platinum leaf

BaCk Cover artist: emma spenCeGage Teen Artist, age 15

Spence is a sophomore at Edmonds Woodway High School and was a part of the 2010 Teen Intensive this summer. She says, “I learned more about art in a pe-riod of five weeks than I’ve ever known about

artwork. Being thrust into new skills and styles was unnerving at first, but I came out of it a wiser, more eager artist. I’ve always found something magical in the way that a series of lines or colors can create an image. Nothing else is like it. I have no idea where art will take me, but I will always have a deep appreciation and love of art and its creation.” Read more about Spence and the Teen Intensive on page 30.

on youth inspiration: art as sustenance

When I was a kid, I was an insatiable artist. Every available surface I could get my hands on was covered with whatever I could find that would leave a mark. I employed crayons, pens, pencils and markers on walls, receipts, gum wrap-

pers, crumpled homework and edges of newspapers. My boldness and freedom is what I remember most.

Kids need the encouragement to nourish that hunger, so they don’t stop. Those who stood by us in our youth are solid influences well into our adult lives — if those who teach are inspired, we are also inspired.

Gage Academy of Art has a longstanding history of providing fun, accessible and inspira-tional programming for many of Seattle’s youth. Our teaching artists know that students

are driven by the excitement and motivation of their teachers; that being excited is infectious. Kids and teens know the value in learning how to draw, realistically and accurately, and they want to learn how. Eventually, they might produce wildly cre-ative sculpture, video or abstract installations; but they soak up craft and technique like sponges, building their skills piece

by piece until they have a strong enough foundation to create imaginative and beautiful works of their own, without fear.

Our Friday night Teen Art Studios has proven this to be true for the last nine years at the St. Nicholas Building on Capitol Hill, and as a result has expanded permanently to Saturday nights at the 2100 Building in Rainier Valley. Teens from surrounding neighborhoods and the Eastside come every weekend to be inspired, learn new techniques and refine their craft.

In addition to more traditional curriculums, we’ve incorporated experimental classes into the programming such as Etsuko Ichikawa’s 3-D Installation, Light, and Space and Gretchen Ben-nett’s Sticker Editions from Drawings. We recognize the importance of nurturing our students’ more expressively creative and conceptual growth as much as their technical abilities.

Our year-round class programming is expanding as well, and evolving to fit better into the lives of our students. Winter 2011 offers the most youth classes we’ve had in a quarter, with more frequent and shorter sessions. Each month features one course for children and one course for teens, so that we can offer more variety and more convenience for your schedule (please see pages 32 & 33).

As we continue into spring and fall, we look forward to offering even more opportunities to feature teaching artists who are not only inspired to teach youth, but who are inspired in their own artistic practice as well. Through their example, kids and teens taking classes at Gage will not only receive excellent art instruction, but gain friends and mentors as well — providing sustenance for the insatiable hunger and boldness of all young artists.

in search of Messages: A Journey Through ice LandscapesAnna McKee (see accompanying exhibit on facing page)Friday, November 19 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor Free

Anna McKee began an investigation into glacial landscapes to follow a thread in her work concerned with memory in the land. This inquiry led her to draw ice cores in freezers, hike to Northwest glaciers and travel to Antarctica on a National Science Foundation Artist and Writers Program grant to experience the scale of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and to witness scientists collecting a two-mile ice core, recovering atmosphere more than 150,000 years old.

McKee is an emerging artist based in Seattle and has exhibited her work locally and in national juried shows. Her studies include an MA in landscape architecture, plus instruction in drawing and painting at Gage, and numerous workshops in printmaking. She is a recipient of an Antarctic Artists and Writers Program grant from the National Science Foundation, the Artist Trust Grant for Artists Projects, and she is currently represented by Francine Seders Gallery.

Queen Bee PerformanceAmy Johnson (see accompanying exhibit on facing page)Friday, January 28 Special Performance at 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor Free

Amy Johnson makes a performance debut as the Queen Bee during this one-night event in the Steele Gallery. Johnson interacts with her installation, currently on view, engaging with the objects as if they are a theater set. Inspired by a passage from the Danish fairytale “The Snow Queen” by Hans Christian Andersen, Johnson brings to life subtle details of this familiar story and personifies the relationships between a Queen Bee and her hive.

Johnson is a Seattle-based artist whose work ranges in formats from sculpture to installation, printmaking and collage. She received her MFA from the University of Washington ceramics program in 2007. She has been a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts in Helena, MT, Centrum in Port Townsend, WA, and the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. Most recently her installation, Wake, was exhibited with MadArt in Cal Anderson Park. She will exhibit two-dimensional works in the Featured Artist exhibit at the SAM Gallery in November 2010 and will also exhibit at the Fetherston Gallery in February 2011.

Anne Petty: The Figure as storytellerAnne Petty (see accompanying exhibit on facing page)Friday, March 18 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor Free

Exhibiting artist Anne Petty discusses the narrative relationship between the figure and its surroundings: how the figure interacts with space, environment and the viewer. Petty describes how her work examines the moments between the moments we tend to remember and how these brief instances begin to tell a story that has yet to be formed. As a result, the viewer becomes more of an active participant in the narrative, and not solely an observer. Pet-ty also explores various themes found in her work including searching, loss, voyeurism, aging and the complexities of relationships.

Anne Petty, a Gage teaching artist, completed her MFA at the University of Washington and her BFA at Missouri State University. She is a two-time recipient of the Elizabeth Greenshields Founda-tion international grant and exhibits both locally and nationally.

FEB 10 TiP TOlAND

Gary Faigin and Vicki Halper, former SAM cura-tor and author of Choosing Craft: The Artist’s Viewpoint team up to talk to Gage teaching artist Tip Toland about her remarkable ceramic figure sculptures. Toland’s work combines impeccable craft with a powerful — and at times disturbing — vision of the human condition. Many use the artist’s own figure as their point of departure, often transformed to the point of being unrec-ognizable. Toland’s surface treatments are also highly original and always dramatic.

MAr 10 MiChAEl STASiNOS

Michael Stasinos paints detailed depictions of the streets of Seattle on location, preferring the immediacy of the urban environment to the comfort of his studio. His panoramic views of Capitol Hill record the lives of the inhabitants through the things they create and leave behind, capturing a moment in time in the spirit of contemporary realists like Antonio López Garcia or Rackstraw Downes. Faigin talks to Stasinos about his working methods, choice of subject matter and his devotion to working en plein air.

FEB 24 ShOWiNG iN AlTErNATivE SPACES

Gage staff/artists Sharon Arnold and Lauren Klenow lead a panel discussion on how artists can move outside the gallery to gain exposure for their work. Invited guests include Todd Jannausch of Gallery 40, Klara Glosova of NEPO House and members of the local artist collective TARL.

Gallery 40, a mobile gallery that has traveled to vari-ous artwalks, was created by Todd Jannausch with the concept that “the space has legitimacy because of the artwork in it, and not that the artwork has legitimacy because of the space it is in.” This project was made possible through grant assistance by 4Culture.

NEPO House is an experimental project space/ gallery in Klara Glosova’s house on Beacon Hill. It is an event-based venue designed to create new connections among artists and the community and provides space for experimental and collaborative works.

TARL is a multi-location artist collective established in 2009. A collaboration between artists and curators, TARL facilitates exhibitions and discussion among emerging and established artists.

By keeping a few significant questions in mind as your painting develops, you gain the confidence to be in charge of the flow of your washes and strokes. The approach you practice helps you give as much control as possible back to the paint and paper. By increasing your awareness of the relationship between the wetness of the paper and the brush, you put the paint down with greater confidence and eliminate the need to make corrections. Weather permitting, you spend some of your time outdoors, painting from life.WW1101 inT/ADv LeveLs $195

Crash Course in CompositionAnne lewisSaturday 9:30am-4:30pm 3/19 [1 day]

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 informa-tive projects, however, you may work in any medium of your choice. WW1107 ALL LeveLs $95

“I liked . . . Juliette’s calm, excellent teaching approach and her comments regarding the techniques, her passion and humility for drawing and what she does, also her personal comments/critiques of our work and her demon-strations. I liked getting to know some of the other students and the chance to talk art and seeing and comparing their results.”

— CHRIS BRONSTAD, workshop student

Build your artistic vocabulary as you work sequentially to complete one finished figure painting under the tutelage of Aristides, instructor of the Classical Atelier at Gage. You develop a preliminary drawing to ensure accuracy and likeness, crate a monochro-matic study to analyze shape, tone and composition and transfer your drawing to canvas or panel as you execute your painting in full color. Lectures and individual instruc-tion aid your artistic progress.WA1101 inT/ADv $625

“ . . . the artist consistently achieves a synthesis with traditional realism that makes his canvases deeply satisfying, if not surprising, on a purely aesthetic level.”

— KAREN L. MULDER, American Arts Quarterly

A leading figure in contemporary American realism, Morra brings his love of still-life painting and teaching to this intense pro-gram. While you complete one multi-layered 10-day painting, your daily one-hour alla prima color studies teach you to work simply, rapidly and accurately. For your longer paint-ing, you create a preliminary drawing on paper, transfer it to the canvas, underpaint in monochrome and, finally, apply full color in layers. Morra discusses glazing and scum-bling as amendments to opaque painting, and presents daily demonstrations and art history lectures as a reference for your work.WA1102 inT/ADv $1100

“My strict academic training . . . brings students to the higher ideals of art, providing them with ways of fully appreciating and participating in a tradition spanning thousands of years that celebrates harmony, refinement and the human form as the eternal ideal of beauty.” — LEONID GERVITS, Classical Life Drawing Studio

In this intensive, weeklong workshop, Ger-vits, trained at the Repin Institute in St. Pe-tersburg, teaches the artistic principles es-sential to successful portrait drawing through direct observation of the skull and face. Learn to master individual problem-solving skills by examining the function of light on form while you work with various drawing media. You draw from different portrait models and different points of view throughout the week, as you increase your confidence and skill at drawing the portrait.WA1103 inT/ADv $625

Begin your paintings considering a sensitive and conscious choice of subject matter includ-ing arrangement and composition in relation to your light source — deciding what kind of light to use and how your choices create your individual aesthetic identity. Issues of form in space, tonality and color effect, as well as still-life setups (such as intervals between objects and pictorial tensions created by object place-ment) are also discussed.WA1106 ALL LeveLs $600

Egg tempera is a luminescent, jewel-like medium applied in overlapping, cross-hatched strokes in translucent layers, or as an opaque paint. Painting a simple form or object on a graded background, Wessel teaches you the techniques of egg tempera painting as it was practiced in 15th-century Italy. Many of these “methods of the masters” can also be adapted for use in oil, watercolor and acrylic paintings. WA1105 ALL LeveLs $600

You learn to develop complex warm and cool flesh tones by starting with a green under painting in the skin areas then develop the full range of flesh tones by glazing the under painting with thin layers of warmer colors.WA1107 inT/ADv $625

“Portraiture has always been one of Leonid’s favorite genres. His portraits have been painted with the same painstaking method that required from Repin and Serov all their skill in order to present a true-to-life form as well as the psychological characteristics of the originals.”

— IRENE THYSSEN, Leonid Gervits monograph

Learn the art of painting compelling portraits from Russian-trained Gervits as he hones your skills in translating both the emotional interpretation and physical like-ness of your model. You complete two oil paintings during the week, one using a direct method of painting and one using an indirect multi-glazed method. Color, composition, and capturing the emotional depth of your model are emphasized as you work from a strong underpainting with opaque color and transparent glazes.

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 consid-erations. 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 “founda-tion” in art is critical to a student’s success in achieving a solid understanding of core concepts for their own studio practice.

GaGe Foundation CertiFiCatesWhile everyone is free to take classes noted as Foundation, formal enrollment in the Foundation Drawing and Painting Certificate Programs allows you the opportunity to earn a Foundation Certificate and offers distinct advantages to taking Foundation courses a la carte. The certificate benefits include quarterly guidance with our curriculum advi-sor, a certificate of completion and a solo show in the Entry Gallery at Gage. The cost for enrollment is $250 and you have five years to complete the full curriculum.

The Foundation Drawing Program does not require a portfolio, however, enrollment into the Foundation Painting Program requires the completion of the Foundation Drawing Program or a portfolio review with our cur-riculum advisor.

more aBout GaGe proGramsDrawing, 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 artists of all ages and skill levels.

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.

What’s my skill level?

Beginning: You have limited or no experi-ence with the drawing, painting or sculpt-ing practice and media.

intermediate: You understand the prin-ciples of rendering light, shade and value and can draw any object, including the figure, with reasonable proficiency; paint with an understanding of media applica-tion 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.”

Kenneth rosen Lectures

anatomy For the artistMatt BucknerTuesday 7:00pm-8:30pm 1/25-2/22

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 ongo-ing series of technical lectures for art-ists, 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.

One of the most fundamental aspects of drawing is the line. Done well, line does everything, from depicting form to showing us every human emotion. This variety can be seen in the very different ways these three masters draw: Gericault’s line is all eager, juicy speed, Daumier’s is cynical and sarcas-tic, while Ingres’s line is intent on succinct precision. In this class you study these three artists, how and why they romanced the line, and, ultimately, you learn to adapt their methods to your own line drawings.D1103 ALL LeveLs $420

Explore how to compose with color (where to put what color for what effect), which is the essence of color harmony. Using historic artists such as Titian, Johannes Vermeer and Henri Matisse, and contemporary artist Janet Fish, as your guide, you learn how to map out how they composed with color and apply that information to your own art. Work with traditional triadic, complementary and split-complementary systems, along with more modern variations. You compose in colored pencils, but your color learning applies to your future studies in paint as well. Prerequi-site: Beginning Color Theory or equivalent.D1123 inTerMeDiATe $420

Painting describes both a process and a product and ultimately demonstrates the technical, expressive and conceptual abilities of the artist. At Gage, we train art-ists from the “ground” up — beginning with traditional programs like color theory

and grisaille painting — advancing to professional-level classes based on conceptual and abstract theories. During the academic year, our painting courses run for 10-week sessions with most classes meeting once a week for three hours. In addition, Gage offers a Painting Foundation Program, which provides an academic progression of artistic training. Learn more about Gage Foundation Programs on page 8 and look for the P in our class listings. Please Note: Most Gage classes require out of studio homework.

neW! modernism series

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.

understandinG ColorCharles Emerson Thursday 9:30am-12:30pm 1/20-3/24

Emerson shows you how color is color only according to amount, placement and appli-cation — 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 weekly studio exercises and critiques you explore color interaction, space problems and, most importantly, color density while painting in acrylic. The last two sessions include figure painting.

impressionist landsCapes From turner throuGh monetCharles EmersonThursday 1:30pm-4:30pm 1/20-3/24

The most influential artist in the birth of Impressionism, and later Modernism, was J.M.W. Turner. His painterly innovations and meaningful abstractions were introduced to Paris by Claude Monet. You investigate these two geniuses, French Impression-ist landscape painting, using forerunners and contemporaries from other countries. Through lectures, painting exercises in oil and acrylic and one continually evolving landscape painting, you study this period and its influence on Modernism. $15 class fee paid to the instructor for partial materials.P1123 inTerMeDiATe $420

Expressive, bold, confident brushwork is a hallmark of Impressionism. The direct painting method (without an under paint-ing) is another important aspect of Im-pressionism. Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt and Edouard Manet all worked in this dynamic manner with layered, expressive line combined with high contrast values and saturated color. In this class, you explore portrait and figure painting in oil or acrylic as the Impressionists worked with spontane-ous brushwork, a multitude of lines, exciting color and spirited energy. Some painting expe-rience recommended. P1124 inTerMeDiATe $450

s: Gage Ateliers

running 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 inde-pendently 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 35 weeks of dedicated instruction over nine months. The calendar for the 2010–11 year runs September 13 through June 24. 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 inde-pendently for a minimum of 15 hours in the studio each week, in addition to attending two weekly teaching sessions.

Atelier students receive free access to all Drop-In Figure Studios and any Gage Evening Lecture Series on art techniques and art history, which run throughout the academic year. To learn more or to receive application materials, please visit www.GageAcademy.org or call 206.343.4243.

In recognition of the Teen Intensive’s focused curriculum, Utrecht offered to award one student with $500 worth of art supplies and materials. This year’s award went to Emma Spence, who was recommended by her instructors for her hard work, growth and dedication.

FeBruary3-d Green desiGnJeanne DoddsGreen design means many things, from using recyclables to create objects, to making art sup-plies from natural materials, to reinventing cast-away items as fashion accessories. This month, you explore the use of recyclables to make model eco-homes. Learn to design hand-bound journals made from reusable products and cre-ate usable items from plastic grocery bags.

marChportrait draWinGSarah BixlerHave you ever drawn someone only to accidentally age them 50 years in your draw-ing? Learn to structure your observations and place those details (and unwanted wrinkles!) in their proper context. Beginning with classical structure and anatomy, you learn to refine your observations, uncovering unique information about form and structure while gaining better understanding and use of graphite, charcoal and pencils.
