SAVE THE DATE! Foundation & Modernism Students Get Together
All students enrolled in Gage Foundation & Modernism Programs and their instructors are invited to a quarterly get together to sip, nosh, network and ask questions. Join us at the soirée on Friday, October 22 from 5:30pm to 6:30pm at Gage.
All of the educational programs 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 “foundation” in art is critical to a student’s success in achieving a solid understanding of core concepts for their own studio practice.
Foundation Certificates
While everyone is free to take classes noted as Foundation, enrollment in the Foundation Drawing and Painting 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 and a certificate completion solo show in the Rosen Gallery at Gage. The cost for enrollment is $250.
The Foundation Programs curriculums are shown here, including a series of evening lecture series to complement the Foundation classes. 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.
Foundation Drawing Program
Foundation Painting Program
Modernism is always contemporary, individual and relevant to the here and now. To be a modernist is to be aware of the great art of the past, conscious of the present and open to new ideas and aesthetics while exploring new ways of best expressing your personal vision.
Charles Emerson, Margaret Davidson and Barbara Fugate, three long-standing Gage instructors, have built a two-year Modernism Series curriculum covering the development of Modernism from the old masters up to the present day. Each instructor will teach one class per quarter beginning this Fall 2010 through Spring 2012.
