SUMMARY:Drawing with Joseph Rogine
DESCRIPTION:This is a 4-week class on Thursdays\, November 6\, 13\, 20 December 4   7-9 pm \nThis class is being offered to ages 12 and up! \n$100 non- members $80.00 members \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. Classes 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) \nHere are some examples of what students have created under Joseph’s instruction. \nhttps://www.ocartistsguild.org/event/drawing-with-joe-rogine-9/2025-12-04/ \ninfo@ocartistsguild.org \n732-270-3111 \n

SUMMARY:A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
DESCRIPTION:‘Stories are wild creatures\, the monster said. When you let them loose\, who knows what havoc they might wreak?’ \nPatrick Ness’s piercing novel A Monster Calls is brought to The Old Vic stage in a powerful new adaptation by visionary director Sally Cookson. \nThirteen-year-old Conor and his mum have managed just fine since his dad moved to America. \nBut now his mum’s very sick and she’s not getting any better. His grandmother won’t stop interfering and the kids at school won’t look him in the eye. \nThen\, one night\, at seven minutes past midnight\, Conor is woken by something at his window. A monster has come walking. \nIt’s come to tell Conor tales from when it walked before. And when it’s finished\, Conor must tell his own story and face his deepest fears. \nOn publication\, A Monster Calls became a bestseller with children and adults alike with its dazzling insight into love\, loss and healing. \nIt garnered huge critical acclaim\, including an unprecedented double win of the Carnegie and Greenaway Medals for outstanding children’s literature and illustration. \nBased on the novel by Patrick Ness \nInspired by an idea by Siobhan Dowd \nhttps://www.grunincenter.org/event/a-monster-calls/2025-11-15/2/ \nclittle@ocvts.org \n7322865678
