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 \n$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. The 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. (ages 12+\, teen\, adult\, drawing) \nhttps://www.ocartistsguild.org/event/drawing-with-joseph-rogine-29/ \ninfo@ocartistsguild.org \n732-270-3111

SUMMARY:Invisible and Essential: Learning LGBTQIA+ Histories
DESCRIPTION:For generations\, the stories of LGBTQIA+ individuals have been intentionally suppressed\, making their contributions and lived experiences largely invisible. \nThat is why the Ocean County Library will host “Invisible and Essential: Learning LGBTQIA+ Histories” at several branches this October. \nThe program will take place at the following locations at dates: \nFriday\, October 2 @ 2 p.m. – Brick Branch – 301 Chambers Bridge Road\, 732-477-4513 \nWednesday\, October 14 @ 6 p.m. – Little Egg Harbor Branch – 290 Mathistown Road\, 609-294-1197 \nWednesday\, October 21 @ 6 p.m. – Berkeley Branch – 30 Station Road\, 732-269-2144 \nThis presentation will make the case for why learning this history is not just a matter of curiosity\, but a crucial step toward empathy and connection. \nIt will highlight key moments and figures that have been overlooked and discuss how understanding these historical narratives can foster a more complete and accurate view of the human experience. \nJoin us to learn why this “invisible” history is\, in fact\, absolutely essential. \nKate Okeson\, Director of Youth Equity for the New Jersey Department of Education\, will present the program. \nRegistration is required for this free program. \nTo register\, visit tinyurl.com/InvisibleOCL\, or call or stop by the branch of your choice. \ntinyurl.com/InvisibleOCL
