cover artist: michael grimaldiGuest Teaching Artist

Grimaldi teaches drawing, painting and anatomy at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Art Students League of New York and the Janus Collaborative School of Art (which he

co-founded in 2007). He says, “I teach because I believe that everyone must be given the chance to see, to develop, to learn the basics, which will serve to translate the vision into reality.”

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

Wolf is currently a stu-dent at The Northwest School, and last sum-mer participated in the two-week Drawing Intensive as part of the Youth Summer Programs at Gage where she created the

piece featured on this catalog’s back cover. Wolf says, “My favorite part of last summer’s class was the immersion of drawing. Just drawing all the time, every day for two weeks was so good for my skills. I loved both of the teachers and their different styles because we got a whole range of things to try and think about and prac-tice. It felt like a serious art class, but it was still really fun and creative.”

e: introduction

the timeless figure By Michael Grimaldi

the human form has always been the starting point for artists, and a journey through human history would not be possible without reference to fi gurative art. Whether a classical Greek sculpture or Byzantine icon (representing man’s place

among the gods), or Hokusai’s vision of the fl oating world, the chaotic din of Picasso’s Guernica, Käthe Kollwitz’ heart-wrench-ing Woman with Dead Child, or the couple deep in conversation in Edward Hopper’s Night: the “L” Train (representing man’s place among men), all tell at least a frag-mentary story of mankind’s capacities.

As a whole, fi gurative art tells the story of man’s greatest fears and deepest desires as he or she directly responds to the banal and the sublime, tying all people — those yet to be born, the living and the long dead — to the one commonality we all share: existence.

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

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

SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR DONATING HOTELS

Dankeschön!The annual Gage Collector’s Gala: Art Auction & Benefi t was held Friday, March 2, to great success, raising more than $195,000 for Gage educational, outreach and scholarship programs. Saint Mark’s Cathedral was host to the event and provided a stunning backdrop to the Berlin Cabaret–inspired evening. Sixty fi ve pieces of art were donated by Gage artists, alumni, teaching artists and friends, and all went home with happy guests!

The night began with bustling silent auctions, passed appetizers and delicious spirits, then guests enjoyed dinner and a show with performers Frau Lola and Her Deutschland Band. Before the live auction got underway, the 2012 Gage Art Award was given to Trina Wherry for her unwavering support of the school. From the Fund a Need to the Dessert Dash, guests were generous to Gage all night long.

Thank you to everyone who was a part of the night, from the donating artists to the table captains, to the bakeries who donated cakes, to all who purchased raffl e tickets, to the corporate sponsors: your generosity is greatly appreciated!

in memoriam

Paul havas, 1941–2012The Seattle art scene has been through many changes in the past 43 years. Amidst all the change, one thing has remained constant: Paul Havas one-man shows at

the Woodside/Braseth Gallery. He lived for years in the fl atlands of the Skagit Valley, where he transformed farmhouse, moun-tain and island into a collection of abstract pictorial elements fashioned by geometry, artistic selection and simplifi cation.

Christopher martin hoff, 1976–2012

Hoff was an inspirational artist and human being. His quiet, under-stated demeanor was never without keen observation or wit, and he spent most

of his time simply working; his paintings refl ecting a detailed perspective of the city in which we live but take completely for granted. His work demonstrates that there are hidden surprises and beauty in the arrangement of our urban world.

The 6th annual Spitting Image Self-Portrait Competition exhibit opened on Friday, March 30, with awards co-juried by artist Gabrielle Bakker and Director Emeritus of the Frye Art Museum Richard V. West.

Cash prizes of $500, $250 and $100 were awarded to 1st, 2nd and 3rd places respectively. Bakker selected Aristides Atelier student Bobby DiTrani’s portrait as the best in show, and wrote of the piece, “. . . it is a considered and fi nished work — it was a labor of love and it shows. Sensitive handling of paint, pensive mood, quite beautiful.”

West chose Chandler Woodfi n for 2nd place, Meg Murch for 3rd place and four honor-able mentions (Helen Bouchard, Eden Hopkins, Jethaniel Peterka, D. Lisa West). West announced the awards to a full house, remarking that self-portraits are among the most complex and challenging subjects. He said, “I was pleased with the strong, overall quality of the exhibition and the display of a wide variety of styles and attitudes in approaching the problems posed by a self-portrait.”

stoP-framing meAugust 3 – August 31Opening Reception: Friday, August 3, 6:00pm-8:00pm

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


gage lecturesTo contribute to Seattle’s arts discourse, Gage hosts lively lectures with working profes-sional artists and art historians. The public is invited to attend these free events.

it’s all 3-d now freeMichael Magrath Friday, May 18 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor

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

stoP-framing me — an animated discussion freeWebster Crowell & Tess Martin Friday, August 3 7:00pm Geo Studio, 3rd Floor

Animation has a long and fascinating history, and finds its current manifestation in our local art community in ways that may surprise you. Through a lively discussion of how guest curators Crowell and Martin got their start as animators and the formation of SEAT and its role in the Seattle art community, they dispel myths and enlighten the history of this art form. They screen works not on display in the show and facilitate a Q & A covering all things animation with other SEAT artists.

Crowell is an animator, filmmaker and builder with over 15 years professional experience in Seattle. He makes tactile, complex short films and features patiently weaving landscapes and characters in pursuit of his own idealized perspective on reality.

Martin is the recipient of two 4Culture grants, two City of Seattle grants, an Artist Trust GAP grant and a Puffin Foundation grant in support of her films, including Plain Face (2011), a 10-minute short that premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival in 2011.

Spend a week focused on drawing the fi gure from life, approaching the subject from an academic point of view without limits on meaning and expression. You complete at least three drawings from three different poses, taking time to compose, measure and construct each drawing. Combine sight measuring, review anatomy and propor-tion, and relate this structural analysis to the light source in order to defi ne the value pattern.

A thorough understanding of the visual experience and of the human fi gure is essential for anyone wishing to express and translate these elements to the picture plane. Working on one pose for the dura-tion of the workshop you learn elements of proportion, gesture, perspective, construc-tive anatomy and morphology, light on form, color theory and application, and composi-tion through the sustained construction of a full-color, highly resolved painting in oil.Wa1209 int/aDv levels $1,350

Two major fi gures emerged from the many sources informing the new art of the Bay Area in the 1950s; Edvard Munch, the emotional forerunner of Expressionist Art, and Pierre Bonnard, an early abstractionist and master of color and atmosphere. Munch painted fl uid long, sensual brushstrokes and arabesques of meaningful color. Bonnard used meaningful abstractions of space and scale in new color combinations, application and techniques.

drawing & sculPting the figure from lifeJordan Sokol & Eran WebberMon-Fri 9:30am-4:30pm 8/6-8/17 [10 days]

Two Florence Academy instructors lead this two-week collaborative workshop, which offers a unique combination of both drawing and sculpting the fi gure from life, immersing you in a comprehensive investigation of the human form and equipping you with the tools to intelligently compose an accurate and convincing fi gure in two and three dimensions.

You alternate between developing a fully rendered charcoal drawing in the mornings and sculpting a half-life size (approx. 33 inches) fi gure in the afternoons. Both approaches are designed to complement one another, balancing both a visual and constructive approach to understanding the mechanism of the body. Regular demonstrations and individualized critiques guide you through basic and advanced concepts of fi gure construction, light and form modeling, anatomical and proportion-al canons to support a visual understand-ing, analyzing depth and understanding contour movement in space. Prior fi gure drawing experience is recommended, however no prior sculpting experience is needed.Wa1211 int/aDv levels $1,350 (price includes clay)

In this workshop, you examine the construc-tion of the portrait: from the drawing study, to the grisaille undercoat, to the fi nished painting. You develop a thorough under-standing of facial physiognomy by studying the underlying structure of the skull and fea-tures of the face. In order to ensure a good foundation for capturing likeness, emphasis is placed on the study of proportions, light, form and tonal relationships. In addition to your studio practice, you learn through demonstrations of drawing and painting techniques, as well as through lectures on the history of portrait painting. Wa1212 int/aDv levels $625

Drawing, painting and sculpting from observation form the cornerstones of Gage classes, which are open to artists of all ages and skill levels. Summer is the perfect time to try out new techniques or mediums in our shorter five-week sessions. With two sessions to choose from, you have many options to explore art making.

For students seeking continuing education, Gage offers 10-week classes throughout the academic year, as well as weekend and weeklong workshops, lecture series and open and reserved studio sessions.

key to skill levelsBeneath each class listing is a skill level. Use the below guide to determine your current level.

Beginning: You have limited or no experi-ence with the drawing, painting or sculpting 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 application and use of color to describe form and space; sculpt with an understanding of structure, form and rhythm as well as basic techniques and tools.

advanced: You exhibit a technical mastery of drawing, painting or sculpting, and are beginning to focus on the “why” in addition to the “how.”

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

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 advisor, a certificate of completion and a solo show in the Entry Gallery at Gage. The cost for enrollment is $250 per certificate and you have five years to complete each Foundation program.

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.

clock hours at gageGage now offers teacher clock hour credits for select classes in drawing, painting and sculpting. Register for classes as normal, and for an additional administrative fee of $75 per 30 hours completed, you can earn clock hours toward your continuing educa-tion. Look for the , which indicates if a class qualifies for clock hours; this summer there are 12 classes and two workshops available. For questions, please call the Registrar at 206.323.4243 x10.

Juliette Aristides Mark Kang-O’Higgins, detail Gary Faigin, detail

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 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 upcoming 2012-2013 school year, the ateliers run September 10, 2012 through June 14, 2013. Aristides’s and Kang-O’Higgins’s students make a 30-hour-per-week studio commit-ment, including working half of every day from the fi gure model. Students of Faigin work independently for a minimum of 15 hours in the studio each week, in addition to attending two weekly teaching sessions.

Atelier students receive a 10% discount on all concurrent classes and workshops: as well as free access to all Drop-In Figure Studios and any Gage Evening Lecture Series on art techniques and art history.

to learn more or to receive application materials, please visit www.Gageacademy.org or call 206.343.4243. 2012-2013 Gage atelier applications are due thursday, may 31, 2012.

Aristides teaches in stages; serious beginning students focus on drawing; more advanced students move into mono-chromatic 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.all levelsat1207 12–13 annUal tUition: $7,395

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].

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.
