Make Your Mark at Gage!
A rtists of all ages strive to push boundaries and create new
and exciting work, drawing from what inspires them. They
also know that building real skills on their natural talent is an
important part of making art! Young, emerging artists are motivated
to build a solid foundation and discover how to develop their skills in
line and tone, color and composition through a multitude of new and
traditional materials and mediums.
Gage Academy of Art Youth Programs excel at bringing fun and
exciting art classes to students from all over the Puget Sound area.
Every year, we’ve asked you — our parents and students — what
you come to Gage to learn, and we’ve listened. As a result of
your feedback and our collective dedication, we have refi ned
our programming to bring more comprehensive skill and technique
building into our workshops; and we expect that more than ever, this
year’s Youth Summer Workshops will grow through the shared work
of our students and your positive testimonial to friends and family.
Within these pages, we hope you fi nd a program that inspires you
to expand your horizons and make your mark this summer!

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.

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.

DRAWING INTENSIVERyan Finnerty & Jethaniel Peterka
Take your drawing skills to the next level in this seriously focused drawing intensive. Over the course of two weeks, you study with creative, profes-sional instructors who guide you through demonstrations and discussions on drawing techniques, draftsmanship and observation. Learn the basics of charcoal and graphite while fi guring out how to approach still life and the fi gure through sight, line, shape and shadow. As part of your academic exploration, you also take a fi eld trip to one of Seattle’s high-profi le galleries or museums.
Jethaniel Peterka focuses on the fi gure, using live models, photographs and the works of the old masters and contemporary fi gurative artists alike. You learn traditional drawing skills such as gesture, blocking-in, modeling with light and shadow, anatomy, composition and more.
Ryan Finnerty focuses on the expressive aspect of drawing, while you learn about value, color, scale and analytical observation. You learn to work with new materials and to draw quickly and confi dently.
This is a great step if you are hoping to build a portfolio, prepare for the fi ve-week Portfolio Intensive program or is even a great refresher course if you have already taken the Portfolio Intensive.

PAINTING INTENSIVERyan Finnerty & Jethaniel Peterka
This is the perfect follow-up to the Drawing Intensive! In this highly focused painting program, you learn the fundamental skills of painting. In addition to the materials and techniques of oil painting, you learn to work with painting’s key elements: light, space and color; dealing with sighting, color mixing and paint handling through a variety of approaches to observational painting. Coursework features lots of hard work, instructor demonstrations and one-on-one learning. As part of your academic exploration, you also take a fi eld trip to one of Seattle’s high-profi le galleries or museums.
Jethaniel Peterka introduces you to the traditional “indirect” painting process, carefully layering opaque paint and transparent glazes in stages. You learn the entire process of making an oil painting from preparing your surface, transferring your drawing, under painting, form painting, glazing and fi nally to varnishing your masterpiece.
Ryan Finnerty instructs you on painting’s more expressive aspects by teaching you the skills behind “alla prima,” or direct “wet on wet,” painting from observation. You learn to work with close attention to brush strokes, tone and color. Using a wide range of inspirational subject matter, you continue to hone your drawing skills and quick gestures while learning how to mix paint for tone, hue, shade and tint.
This is a great step if you are hoping to build a portfolio, prepare for the fi ve-week Portfolio Intensive program or is even a great refresher course if you have already taken the Portfolio Intensive.
We strongly recommend that you have taken the Drawing Intensive or other drawing classes before enrolling in the Painting Intensive.
