Sponsorship logo standards
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.
Preferred
CMYK logo
1-Color100% Black
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 the subject of draftsmanship and observation. As part of your academic exploration, you also take a fi eld trip to one of Seattle’s high-profi le galleries or museums. This class is a great step for students hoping to build a portfolio or prepare for the fi ve-week Teen Intensive program!
Jethaniel Peterka introduces you to the tried and true methods of the academics of 19th century France, primarily focusing on the fi gure, photo-graphs, old masters and contemporary fi gurative artists. You learn tradi-tional 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. Learn to work with new materials and to draw quickly, confi dently and sometimes strangely in this fast-paced and lively workshop.

PATTERN, SYMMETRY & TESSELATIONAllyce Wood
Explore a fantastic new way to make unique drawings and prints that have the ability to expand expo-nentially or to exist as an edition. You create patterns in the style of M.C. Escher with your own linoleum blocks, stamps, tesselation stencils and other unique drawing tech-niques. These tools give you new ways to express personal concepts and enable new art perspectives!
ABSTRACT PLASTER SCULPTUREKatrina Wolfe
Combine the intricate patterns of nature with the power of your imagi-nation by creating stylized 3-D trees, plants and strange creatures. Start-ing with fl exible wire, you build a structure that captures rhythm and movement, focusing on the overall design of your piece while draping plaster-dipped burlap strips over the armature. At the end of the week, your sculptures can be colored using shellac and paint washes.

COMICS ESSENTIALSRandy Wood

You might even discover fun ways to incorporate your comic characters into your sculpture class!
PLUSH SOFT SCULPTUREErin Shafkind
Invent your own 3-D soft sculpture with needle and thread, fabrics, found materials, old clothes and other items. No sewing experi-ence necessary! You learn to cre-ate objects, food, characters or whatever else your imagination can dream up. The possibilities are endless, especially the potential for a crossover between the comics you create and the sculptures you dream up.

REDUCTIVE BLOCK PRINTINGKerstin Graudins
Reduction printmaking is a fascinat-ing technique for making multicolor prints. You learn how to reduce your image area for each new color by planning a repetitive process for your carving, and how to register your images for a perfect applica-tion of your different colors. Dis-cover the rewards of using block and silkscreen printing on paper and fabric, then incorporate the prints into your altered books!
ALTERED BOOKSJulie Alpert
What will we do with all the books once everything goes digital? Alter them! Old books provide the per-fect foundation for a 3-D collage. Learn how to cut, sew, rip, glue, pull apart and put back together old books to create entirely new arti-facts. Think about books as objects, not just bundles of information, and walk away with small, very personal sculptures, and even include images from your printmaking class!
T1115 $325
WeeK 6august 8 – 12
DRAWING FROM OBSERVATIONMichael Lorefi ce

FIGURATIVE CLAY SCULPTUREKatrina Wolfe
Improve your hand-eye coordina-tion by sculpting in 3-D. Working from a live model, you explore ges-ture, rhythm and artistic anatomy in clay, creating a series of short-pose sculptures and increasing the length of each pose as the week progresses.

T1116 $325
WeeK 7august 15 – 19
FIGURE & STILL-LIFE PAINTINGTerry Furchgott
Learn to paint with the quick-drying and brilliant colors of acryl-ics, creating brief studies and several fi nished paintings while mastering the basics of accurate drawing, brushwork, color mixing and the use of a wet palette. Work-ing from inspiring set ups including fruit and fl owers, colorful ceramics, drapery and clothed models, you create bold images full of complex layers of color and dramatic con-trasts of light and shadow.
FASHION ILLUSTRATIONBritt Rynearson
Design your look by creating a fashion collection on paper. Use all types of materials, learn realistic rendering techniques, and explore the world of professional design-ers. Learn from a professional designer with a very strong back-ground in drawing and painting who encourages your own originality!
