t he painting I chose for the cover, Streaks and Rumbles (2013), features a packed, highly unlikely grouping of objects (indeed, there isn’t enough space for them all), hovering in front of an incongruous urban setting. The moody cityscape is roughly

suggested with monochromatic, rag-applied paint — in every way a contrast to the shiny, precisely-depicted still life in the foreground. The viewer searches for links between these two discordant realms.

Gage also seeks to build bridges between two distinct worlds: the tradition of skill-based, classical art where the realism of the image is a major feature, and that of non-literal, con-temporary art celebrating ambiguity, posing diffi cult questions and consciously engaging with the emotions and insecurities of modern life.

This is an awfully tough job for either an art school or an individual artist, but it can also be an energizing challenge. How have successful artists navigated the Contemporary/Classi-cal divide? A look through the Gage catalog reveals approaches ranging from the Matisse- and Picasso-inspired fi gurations of Kimberly trowbridge and terry Furchgott, to the enigmatic self portraits of Kathy liao and Vonn sumner. Students of Mark Kang-o’higgins continually push the edge of what Gage art looks like; while those of Juliette aristides often fi nd their personal voice once they graduate.

If you’ve been following my ArtTalk series (see page 9), you’ve also had the opportunity to hear local artists explain how this creative tension plays out in their own work. trimpin showed us complex electromechanical sculptures that give musical voice to user input or distant earthquakes; while Bill Finger discussed creating miniature worlds on a tabletop that his high-resolution photographs bring to enigmatic, “full-sized” life.

Tension, contradiction, juggling competing imperatives — if this sounds like a description of daily life as well as of the artist’s dilemma, that’s because it is! We hope you’ll join us this winter at Gage, and together we’ll explore a path through this fascinating maze.

“Drawing is something I have loved since I was little. As a quiet person, it is now a way of expressing myself. In the future, I hope to use the knowledge I gained during my time at the Portfolio

Intensive to continue to communicate to others through art, which I hope to study in college through graphic design. I hope to create, share and experience art for the rest of my life.”

In addition to the Portfolio Intensive, Gage offers two-week Intensives and one-week workshops. Look for the summer youth catalog coming in February!

running from mid-September through mid-June each year, 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.

Atelier students are given an individual studio space to complete projects independently under the guidance of their instructor. Working together in group studios, atelier students enjoy the benefi t of creative infl uence and dialogue among their peers within a focused environment.

Enrollment in the atelier programs is yearly, with nine months of dedicated instruction. For the 2013-2014 school year, the ateliers run September 16, 2013 through June 13, 2014. Aristides and Kang-O’Higgins students make a 30-hour-per-week studio commitment, including working half of every day from the fi gure 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 a 10% discount on all concurrent classes and workshops as well as free access to all Drop-In Figure Studios and any Lecture Series. Occasionally, mid-year transfers are allowed — please inquire with the Registrar at 800.880.3898.

arisTidEs aTEliErclassical drawing & paintingJuliette Aristides

Based on the 19th-century model for training painters, this four-year diploma program pro-vides 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. 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.at1401 all 13–14 annual tuition: $7,395

KanG-o’hiGGins aTEliErdrawing & paintingMark Kang-O’higgins

Intended for long-term students, the Kang-O’Higgins Atelier offers the opportunity to work on increasingly complex independent projects under the close guidance of your in-structor. 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 fi nding the balance between technical accu-racy 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 context.at1402 all 13–14 annual tuition: $7,395

faiGin aTEliErstill-life paintingGary Faigin

The Faigin Atelier offers painting students the opportunity to focus their studio practice on the study of still-life arrangements over the course of one to several years. The intimate studio set-ting enables you to devote as much time as you wish to creating paintings, without the limita-tions of model time or weather conditions. Be-cause 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.at1403 all 13–14 annual tuition: $4,080

Working from models imaginatively posed in colorful circus costumes and Degas inspired dancer positions, you learn to enhance the depth of color and overall impact of your work layering rich pastel over a multi-colored watercolor or acrylic underpainting. Com-plete color studies, alla prima sketches and one fi nished painting, learning to balance ac-curate drawing with bold markmaking, sharp detail with a fresh, painterly surface in lively works full of color and the bold interplay of light and shadow. Previous fi gure drawing experience required. $15 partial materials fee payable to instructor. WW1401 all $325

Capture the essentials of your model quickly and effi ciently using time-honored ap-proaches and techniques, as you explore many traditional strategies in use by portrait artists. From planar and tonal simplifi cation to working with preset palettes, learn the tricks of the trade for making note of essen-tial information when time with your sitter is limited.WW1402 all $325

illusTraTiVE drawinG iSteve ReddySat-Sun 9:30am-4:30pm 1/11-1/12 [2 days]

Focusing on the quick sketch, you practice reducing a scene to its key elements. Pencil, pen or watercolor; emphasis is placed on recording the basics — the viewer’s impres-sion and main idea. An understanding of general principles of perspective is helpful, but guidelines and vanishing points are foregone in favor of loose capture, while still invoking the artist’s subjective viewpoint and sensibility. Class held outdoors if weather permits, but principles can be demo-ed and explored through interior settings and still lifes. Each day includes a demo on a specifi c focus, including contours, contrast, composi-tion, artist compositional options and more.WW1403 all $195

Build on techniques introduced in Illustrative Drawing I, with a deeper emphasis on composi-tion, subject matter and the artist’s personal approach, and with an eye towards the fi n-ished piece. Careful observation to detail, exag-geration, distortion and unique viewing angles are embraced as tools for “pulling focus,” and making an ink wash and watercolor drawing personal and specifi c to the individual artist. $25 partial materials fee payable to instructor.WW1405 all $195

Explore important basics for botanical paint-ing from measurement, drawing and prepar-ing the painting surface to understanding how lighting reveals form. Learn to use fl at and graded washes and apply dry-brush technique as well. Work with simple subjects from the grocery store such as mushrooms, peppers and squashes, as you gain con-fi dence in the traditional techniques of botanical watercolor, then move on to larger, more complex subjects. Costs of materials can be minimized by purchasing small amounts of necessary paints, paper, etc. from instructor.WW1406 all $195

Using a multitude of media including soft pastel, charcoal and colored ink wash, compose dynamic fi gure drawings from the model that utilize bold textures, vivid color and energetic lines. Explore different techniques of expressive drawing as you layer multiple elements into one work. Step outside your comfort zone, stretch the limit of what a drawing can be, and enjoy the freedom to make a mess and have some fun. WW1407 interMeDiate $225

Working abstractly opens doors for the indi-vidual artist, inviting surprising expansions of the range of both the painter and the paint. Without the usual reliance on an image or a scene as a guide, making a painting requires sharpening your listening skills. Instead of observing what color a tree is, for example, you are more likely to ask the painting what it needs. Form overrules content.WW1408 all $195

Discover the freedom and expressive quality of ink wash layered with charcoal and white chalk while improving your ability to ac-curately draw the fi gure, perceive simplifi ed planes of light and shadow and render drap-ery and folds. Complete gesture work and several fi nished drawings on tinted paper, learning to capture the essence of the nude and clothed fi gure in space with incisive lines and strong tonal values.

As a foundation for your own contemporary works, explore the indirect painting tech-niques of the Venice and Florence schools of the 15th and 16th centuries. Working from the model, each day you progress through set stages of this rigorous painting technique in order to complete one fi nished portrait by workshop’s end.

Progressing from compositional studies, develop a careful underdrawing and fi ll in your portrait with a monochromatic grisaille painting to establish tonal gradations, then overpaint your portrait with a classic dead palette of red oxide, yellow ochre and cold black plus white before applying a warm/cool palette that pushes the value contrasts and gives your portrait a beautiful tonal depth. The fi nal stage of your painting pro-cess includes working with a full-color pal-ette while applying glazes and scumbles, as required. This is an advanced course suitable for anyone with an interest in classical painting techniques and intermediate painting skills.Wa1401 int/aDV $675

Develop a fully rendered charcoal and white chalk drawing in this week long intensive; regular demonstrations and individual-ized critiques guide you through advanced concepts of fi gure construction, light and form modeling, anatomical and proportional canons to support a visual understanding, analyzing depth and understanding contour movement in space. Prior fi gure drawing experience is recommended.Wa1404 interMeDiate $625

Florence Academy instructor and interna-tionally celebrated sculptor Eran Webber leads this weeklong sculpting workshop, offering an intensive approach to sculpting the fi gure from life. Immerse yourself in a comprehensive investigation of the human form and discover the tools to intelligently compose an accurate and convincing fi gure in three dimensions.

Explore sculpting the fi gure from life through the teaching method of the Flor-ence Academy, which derives from the classical-Realist tradition, rooted in the Re-naissance, and revived by the major Realist academic ateliers of the 19th century. This approach allows students to balance both a visual and constructive approach to under-standing the mechanism of the body.

Regular demonstrations and individualized critiques guide you through fundamental and advanced concepts of fi gure construc-tion, light and form modeling, as well as anatomical and proportional principles to support a visual appreciation, while analyz-ing depth and understanding contour move-ment in space. Some previous fi gure drawing experience is recommended. No prior sculpting experience is needed.Wa1405 all $650

Designed for the practicing artist to explore, question and understand the making of dynamic space and color as light, O’Cain’s approach helps each student to seek which direction they wish to develop and to know and understand their personal strengths and weaknesses. Students may bring examples of their art for group or individual critiques. Class time features discussions on how color creates light and its emotional and psycho-logical effects, as well as its dynamic spatial concepts. The principles and exercises pre-sented may be employed by both the repre-sentational artists and the artists of abstract ideas. Slides of works of art are presented to illustrate spatial structure and those that do not. Students may paint in any medium they wish. Representational painters work from a still life, or may use a study or other image as a reference point. Exercises help to organize shapes and color into special relationships for those who would like to form abstract ideas. Demonstrations and discussions are conducted in the morning, and should run close to an hour depending upon the needs of the students.Wa1406 all $600

Turner, based in a traditional realism, and Monet by way of late Impressionism are two pioneers of Modern Color — color that informs, lights, structures and adds emotional power to a painting rather than only decora-tion and beauty.

Beginning with the works of these two Masters, you advance to include more contemporary artists such as Rothko, Hofmann, Albers, Matisse, Marden and Diebenkorn as to their conclusions, reasons, methods, techniques and results in their explorations toward a profound, emotional, and meaningful visual experience; always more experiential than referential.

sculpting classes

t he transformative act of molding a physical substance into form gives the artist invalu-able insight into understanding proportion, balance, rhythm and movement in ways that two-dimensional study cannot. Sculpting classes may be appropriate for all skill

levels, and include full-size fi gure sculpting and écorché to complement classical training.

Refi ne your ability to see and render the fi gure as you study the underlying forms and uniting rhythms of the human body. Learn to hone your artistic intention to convey mean-ing in your work as you model a scale fi gure alongside your instructor from a sustained pose. Learn the logistics by working from measurements, and how to utilize photo-graphs and life castings between sessions with the model. The Saturday class pose is also available in the independent Sculp-ture Reserved Studio (see p. 18) on Sunday mornings, allowing you up to 20 sessions to develop your work. Class price includes clay and armature.s1401 BeGinninG $495 (Mon)s1407 BeGinninG $495 (sat)

sculpTinG ThE ExprEssiVE porTraiTTip TolandTuesday 9:30am-12:30pm 1/14-3/18

Work on two life-size clay busts to cre-ate a portrait from a model with distinc-tive features, holding a strong expression. Constructing the bust from solid clay on an armature, you use the fi rst four weeks to capture the expression and model a likeness. On the fi fth week you cut your work from the armature, hollow and reassemble your piece. Over the fi nal fi ve weeks you use your new skills to create an expressive self-portrait. Class price includes clay. s1402 interMeDiate $495

Work with the model on studies of isolated body parts while developing 1/4-scale man-nequins to aid in understanding underlying structure. Explore life casting as well as a variety of more advanced mold-making processes. Outside work includes 3-D master copies. The class culminates with a portrait bust at life-size. As in the previous quarter, a concurrent, outside drawing component is strongly recommended. Additional studio time is available for outside assignments. Class price includes clay and armature.s1403 int/aDV $735

fiGurE sculpTinG sTudio Michael MagrathTuesday 6:30pm-9:30pm 1/14-3/18

Experience a clear and intuitive method for mastering the fundamentals of three-dimensional modeling, as well as developing advanced skills that radically improve your ability to see and understand the fi gure. You work from the same pose for the entire quarter. Class price includes clay and armature.s1404 all $495

ÉcorchÉ Michael MagrathThursday 6:30pm-9:30pm 1/16-3/20

Écorché (French for “fl ayed”) is a fi gure viewed without skin for the purpose of ana-tomical study and artistic reference. Under the guidance of your instructor and from lec-tures, reference materials and live models, you build an anatomically precise 3-D model of the human muscular and skeletal system from the bones out. This is a two-quarter course, meeting two days per week. Winter focuses on the skeleton; spring is devoted to the muscular system. A requisite for the seri-ous fi gure artist, you emerge with a durable reference fi gure and irreplaceable anatomi-cal expertise. Figure sculpting and anatomy experience recommended. Class price includes clay and armature. s1405 int/aDV $495

animal form & moTionBill evansFriday 9:30am-12:30pm 1/17-3/21

Devote your study to understanding what causes form and motion as you sculpt many animals and work progressively. Start by sketching and learning the bones and major muscles and how they relate to the over-all form, then watch your animals emerge through understanding how the bodies work with both expression and form. You also study action and the scale relationships of the various body parts for proper proportions. Class price includes clay.s1406 all $480

foolinG ThE EyE, EnGaGinG ThE brain: illusion & misdirEcTion in modErn rEprEsEnTaTional arTRichard V. WestMonday 7:00pm-9:00pm 3/17

A fascinating aspect of recent representa-tional art has been the revival and transfor-mation of illusionist painting. Infl uenced by recent art movements and the emerging science of visual perception, contemporary artists have taken the traditional form of trompe l’oeil painting and invested it with new narratives and symbols. Other artists are deploying illusionist cues to create images that misdirect the eye and initiate perceptual dilemmas for the viewer. In either case, these works engage the viewer in a dialogue concerning meaning and intent that intensifi es the experi-ence. West explores examples of recent illusionist painting by contemporary artists and discusses the sources and ideas that infl uenced them. Art historian, curator and author Richard V. West is Director Emeritus of the Frye Art Museum and a member of the Board of Trustees at Gage. A native of Prague, Czech Republic, he studied in Europe and the United States before receiving a master’s degree in art history from the University of California at Berkeley.

Flushed: into the world of wastewater treatmentA Performance by Stokley TowlesFriday, November 22 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor

In Conjunction with // SiGhTliNeS

After we flush where does it all go? stokley towles’ production of Flushed: into the world of wastewater treatment is part of the on-going public art programming, produced by 4Culture in partnership with King County’s Wastewater Treatment Plant, Brightwater. As part of the Conveyance Project, Stokley and five other county-based artists are producing temporary artworks designed to engage the broader community in a conversation about water quality in our region, environmental stewardship and the extent of the Brightwater system.

For ten years Stokley Towles has been exploring the infrastructure of municipal systems, taking up residency within and looking closely at the environment and the people who work there. Towles has performed in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle, and his work has been presented locally at the Henry Art Gallery, Greg Kucera Gallery and Seattle Art Museum.

In Conjunction with Benjamin A. Vierling: A Decennary Retrospective

Exhibiting artist Benjamin a. Vierling discusses his techniques, influences, and working pro-cesses. “The time period that speaks to me with the clearest voice remains the early Renais-sance in Northern Europe,” says Vierling, “where crystallized forms and the rich use of color brought the reflections of the contemplative mind into focus. If I were to look to one beacon for guidance, it would be Hans Holbein, who refined this visual language into an enduring standard. Holbein imbued his subjects with a dignity to which we can today only aspire.”

Benjamin A. Vierling is an American artist known for his diversely applied renderings of arcane subjects. Born in San Francisco, he developed an affinity with the fine arts during his childhood, and has studied indepen-dently in the United States and in Europe. His paintings are exhibited internationally, most recently in New York and Berlin, and previously at Seattle’s Roq la Rue Gallery.

the rise and Fall of the Classic american Comic stripRichard V. WestFriday, February 21 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd floor

In Conjunction with That’s Art! The American Comic Strip from Mutt & Jeff to Doonesbury

The comic strip as we know it today had its origins in a bitter circulation war fought in the late 19th century between rival newspaper publishers Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst. By 1924, the well-known critic Gilbert Seldes declared that the newspaper comic strip had become a true American art form, like jazz and the movies, which deserved to be taken seriously and enjoyed without guilt. West explores the dynamics of this modern art form that, like jazz, impacted American cultural life at all levels for over a century.

Art historian, curator and author Richard V. West is Director Emeritus of the Frye Art Museum, and a mem-ber of the Board of Trustees at Gage. A native of Prague, Czech Republic, he studied in Europe and the United States before receiving a master’s degree in art history from the University of California at Berkeley.

Examine how artists throughout his-tory have broken boundaries with their work, and how you can use that experience to grow as an artist. Use multi-media, drawing, sculpture and photographs to turn your art studio into a laboratory for experimenta-tion and discovery.

Meet allyce Wood, youth teaching artist“I have been teaching at Gage Academy of Art since 2010, but my experience began in 2004 when I was a Teen Art Studios attendee. As a public school student, I was interested in art but wanted more compre-hensive skill-building. These Friday night sessions were the spark that lit my passion, freed my ambition and unleashed my cre-ativity. TAS was, and still is, the place where dedication blooms. Now as an instructor, it is my greatest thrill to see that spark of artistic liberation and joy in a young student as they respond to new media, processes or historical examples of what art can be. To have a space that celebrates a student’s role as a creator is something to be treasured.”

Sponsorship logo standards

The Wells Fargo logo appears in Wells Fargo red and Wells Fargo yellow. Use the black 1-color version only for one- or two-color (black plus one color) applications such as newspaper advertising or forms.

Preferred

CMYK logo

1-Color100% Black

Print logo colors

Our logo colors must appear exactly the same every time they are used. On printed materials, Wells Fargo logo colors — Wells Fargo Red and Wells Fargo Yellow — must always match their CMYK formula respectively, whether printing on coated or uncoated stock. Never substitute other colors. This is especially important since certain paper stocks and different types of media may alter the way a color looks when reproduced. For this reason, a color check while the job is on press or in final production is essential. Drawdowns are strongly recommended in all cases. For print jobs requiring spot color pages, special spot ink formulas are provided from the Brand Management Team at [email protected].

Wells Fargo red:C: 10 M: 100 Y: 80 K: 20

Wells Fargo yellow:C: 0 M: 20 Y: 100 K: 0

Online logo colors

Clearspace and size

Clearspace frames the logo, separating it from other elements such as headlines, text, imagery, and the outside edge of printed materials.

Always leave the minimum amount of clearspace around the logo to maximize impact. In print, the preferred clearspace is half the height or width of the logo on each side. The absolute minimum clearspace requirement is a quarter of the height or width of the logo on each side. Online, the logo clearspace requirement is at least 10 pixels.
