SUMMARY:Drawing with Joseph Rogine
DESCRIPTION:1:00 PM – 3:00 PM \nThis class is being offered to ages 12 and up! \n$20.00 for members per class $25.00 for non members per class \nInstructor: Joseph Rogine \nThese classes are designed for both beginning to advanced students who want to sharpen their skills in drawing. \nI have taught students for over 25 years who have never picked up a pencil to draw to those who have been quite advanced. \nIt is an academic course\, (academic being defined as that which can be taught). \nDrawings are created by copying master drawings\, simple to complex still-life objects and classical plaster casts. \nThe student usually begins by copying a master drawing that is supplied to them. \nAll students start out using graphite pencils with grades of 2H HB 2B. \nThe capabilities and limitations of drawing materials and drawing instruments are discussed at length along with their proper handling. \nClasses are essentially about learning how to see nature and the world as an artist sees it\, through the language and medium of drawing. \nThe student’s eye will gradually become trained and sensitive on how to compose a layout on the page\, assessing proportion\, elementary perspective\, gauge angles\, identify shapes\, access the degree of curvature of forms\, locate hidden movements and linear rhythms\, the structure and modeling of form and the study of light and shade. \nThis opens a whole new world towards a visual literacy that was very common in school curricula 100 to 150 years ago. \nDepending on a students’ progress and particular interest repeat students are free to experiment with various drawing mediums like charcoal\, pastel pencil\, pen and ink etc.\, along with the drawing surfaces applicable to their chosen medium. Joseph Rogine supply list 2024. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Joseph Rogine at 732-349-6859\, or by email at info@ocartistsguild.org.

SUMMARY:Watercolor Pencils & Watercolor Painting -- an Exploration of Techniques
DESCRIPTION:This class offers a different entry point into watercolor—one that begins not with rules\, but with learning the language of water itself. \nBy understanding how pigment flows\, blends\, and responds\, you gain a natural sympathy for the medium that many classes overlook\, making painting feel far more intuitive and enjoyable. \nWe begin by creating a few small paintings on bookmarks—simple\, low-pressure exercises that can be kept or discarded— \ngiving you the chance to explore techniques and get comfortable before moving into a finished piece. \nFrom there\, we transition into working with shells for inspiration\, sharpening observational skills while learning how to translate what we see into color\, shape\, and composition. \nUsing richly pigmented Dr. Ph. Martin’s inks alongside watercolor pencils\, you’ll experiment with both fluid washes and controlled line\, expanding your approach to the medium. \nAll materials are provided\, so you can arrive and begin creating right away. \nTuition:  $50 \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \neducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n6095973557
