"Drawing is like making an expressive gesture, with the advantage of permanence" -Henri Matisse This class is for students who are familiar/experienced with the basics of drawing mechanics, and are ready to “break some rules” and find their unique style and signature. We will learn various techniques that will help us free our hands and open our minds on the way to develop our unique drawing language. Each class we will be exposed to a different stimulating technique, among them: Positive-Negative space, “Blind Drawing”, Drawing based upon looking at still photographs, self portraiture, drawing inspired by some of the biggest modern & contemporary art masters (Warhol, Alice Neel, Picasso, Schielle and more), Drawing on different surfaces, with different tools, utilising collage techniques, and beyond.

Gage Academy of Art acknowledges the Coast Salish Peoples as the original inhabitants of this area and connecting waterways. We understand the land that Gage occupies is unceded territory and that today many Indigenous peoples live here and without their stewardship, we would not have access to this space. We honor the Coast Salish Peoples’ sovereignty, rights to self-determination, culture and ways of life. Since time immemorial, Indigenous peoples have called this territory their sacred land. We commit to learning, educating others and repairing the legacy of historically harmful relationships between non-Native and Native peoples in King County. In doing so, we will be honest, and recognize the experiences of Native peoples to include genocide, forced relocation, forced assimilation, and land theft. We also acknowledge Native peoples are survivors, present in today’s world, thriving. We encourage everyone here today to ask themselves: what can I do to support Indigenous communities?

In an effort to be transparent, Gage is contemplating this call to action and re-working how to best support Indigenous communities.
