“In Elementos Alentejanos I am using the language of painting as the architecture for making decisions about placement, color, emphasis and meaning. I created this installation of objects during a recent visit to the Alentejo region of Portugal. I consider it a visual poem about my experience of the surrounding area — the marble quarries, the cork oak trees, the ultramarine blue pigment found on the traditional tile work. Over the past several years my artistic practice has grown to include the context surrounding my paintings. Through sculpture, installation, video and performance, I am delving deeper into the process of my own perception and the meaning of my imagery. My paintings have become “props” within a larger theater of interactions.” Front cover: Elementos Alentejanos, Installation, Dimensions Variable, Aprox. 8’ x 6’

Foundation Still-life Painting I* Color for Painters

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 students sharpen their ability to quickly blockin the basic shapes to capture the likeness of the sitter. The duration of the poses lengthen in the final weeks, giving time for students to render light and shadow, and develop higher contrast in their drawings. Instruction includes discussion about charcoal materials, drawing demonstrations and practical methods for capturing the form of important facial features, as well as developing a clear focus and concept for each drawing.

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.

Explore what it means to be a modern figure painter. Expressive color and bold line with unusual depth of space is new and exciting — as well as your focus for this class. Painting from the live model, your aim is to be expressive, not descriptive, of the figure and how it exists in space. Fauvism and Expressionism are discussed, including the artists Matisse, Van Gogh and Modigliani. Invention, exaggeration and color harmony are key elements of this class. Some figure drawing/painting experience is recommended. Oil or acrylic paints.

Paint in a collegiate atmosphere with other working artists and serious students. The four-hour class format provides a solid work session, plus time for peer interaction and discussion. Students work on painting or drawing projects of their own devising, with instructor input and occasional class critique. Stay motivated and engaged with your artistic practice by dedicating time to paint each week. All media and subject matter are welcome.

Cubism is the greatest single aesthetic achievement of the twentieth century and its influence still resonates and informs, being the first abstract style of Modern Art. Most notable was the simultaneous presence of separate points of view creating a new reality in accordance with actual sensual perception we experience in daily life. It created an art not of imitation but of conception and creation. A poetic reconstruction and logical extension of Cézanne, who stressed the difference between reality and painting that, in turn, produced other movements such as Futurism, Suprematism and Abstract Expressionism. $15 partial materials fee payable to instructor.

Ecorché (Fr.: “flayed”) is a figure viewed without skin for the purpose of anatomical study and artistic reference. Under the guidance of your instructor and from lectures, reference materials, and live models, build an anatomically precise 3-D model of the human muscular/skeletal system from the bones out. This is a yearlong course; fall focuses on the skeleton with winter and spring devoted to the muscular system. A requisite for the serious figure artist; emerge with a durable reference figure and irreplaceable anatomical expertise. Figure sculpting and anatomy experience recommended, however students with strong experience in long-pose figure drawing may find they have many of the requisite skills.

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.

Explore the mechanics of line and mass in 3D space and learn to breathe life into constructions with different tools and materials, testing their properties and their potential along the way. Begin by examining the human face to understand facial features and play with expressions, and move on to the figure in order to learn about proportions and posing characters in concrete situations. Create puppets, paper maché masks and wire and clay figures, adding movement and animation in real time.

Conjure your own unique, anatomically plausible creature from skeleton to skin by rendering a realistic concept creature drawing.

After deciphering the creature’s sleeping, eating and leisure postures, flesh it out with textures and create clay models of the fledgling creations. Finally, it’s alive! Debut your creature in a dynamic pose by developing a final large-scale poster-sized drawing to go alongside your 3D model.

art talk SEEING THROUGH DRAWING: A CHAT WITH GEOFF FLACK Geo Studio, Gage Academy of Art

Thursday, October 8 12:30pm-1:30 pm

For most artists, drawing is a means to an end, or a supplement to their painting or sculpture. For Gage teaching artist Geoff Flack, drawing is an end in itself, and his figure drawings are a sort of visual diary of both creative observation and a variety of media-on-paper techniques. Join us for an enlightening discussion about his choice to draw rather than paint, as well as what lies behind his choices of materials and approaches. Digital images are supplemented by several original drawings on display.

CATCHING YOU BY SURPRISE: THE ART OF ROBERT HARDGRAVE Capitol Cider 818 E Pike St, Seattle, WA 98122

Wednesday, November 11 6:30pm-7:30pm

Robert Hardgrave is one of the Seattle art scene’s best-kept secrets, perhaps partly due to his penchant for continually changing materials and scale, and the impossibility of assigning him to a particular stylistic niche. His stated ambition is to create a body of work where, “ideas, discovery and surprise reign supreme,” and in doing so he skirts the boundaries between realist and abstract, painting, drawing and collage. What all of his work does have in common is energy and drama. Join us at Capitol Cider as we explore the common threads that run through his wildly varied and inventive creations.
