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. 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. 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) \nhttps://www.ocartistsguild.org/event/drawing-with-joseph-rogine-25/ \ninfo@ocartistsguild.org \n732-270-3111

SUMMARY:Teen Class with Carol Colvin
DESCRIPTION:Teen Class with Carol Colvin \n3:30-5:30\, $200 or $160 with teen membership. \nFrom saucers to superheroes and anything in between\, the subject matter is your selection !!! \nUtilize your own photo reference material\, or borrow from the instructor. \nThis class is for teens who enjoy making art but need guidance with drawing skills\, use of materials\, color choices and composition. \nThe principles of design\, composition\, value are learned using the traditional art materials of various pencils\, watercolor\, acrylic and pastel… or a combination of medium. \nStudents should bring their own materials and their creativity\, with a willingness to experiment with new ideas and/or new materials. If a beginner artist\, bring a sketch pad (10×12)\, drawing pencils and a kneaded rubber eraser. \nTo encourage growth as an artist\, it is helpful to this instructor if for the first few sessions\, students bring in a few samples of their art\, to initiate a discussion about their learning goals. \nhttps://www.ocartistsguild.org/event/teen-class-with-carol-colvin-3/ \ninfo@ocartistsguild.org \n732-270-3111

SUMMARY:Vanities: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Vanities: The Musical chronicles the life-affirming journey of three vivacious Texas teens from cheerleaders to sorority sisters to housewives to liberated women and beyond. This musical captures a snapshot-sharp portrait of the lives\, loves\, disappointments\, and dreams of these young women growing up during the turbulent sixties and seventies and reconnecting in the late 1980s. With a tunefully evocative score by David Kirshenbaum (Summer of ’42) and Jack Heifner’s hilarious adaptation of his long-running Off-Broadway smash\, Vanities: The Musical is a funny and poignant look at three best friends who discover that\, through thirty years of rapidly changing times\, the one thing they can rely on is each other. \nhttps://surflight.org/ \ninfo@surflight.org \n609-492-9477

SUMMARY:Bobby Horton: Patriot Songs of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Patriot Songs of the American Revolution\nBy Bobby Horton\nOur musical heritage plays an essential role in preserving the history\, culture\, and spirit of our nation’s early days. \nThrough music\, we hear not only of events but also the hopes\, dreams\, and disappointments of those who lived through them.\nThe music presented in this program was part of that journey. \nThese are the songs that fueled the colonists’ desire for freedom and unity. \nThey include stirring anthems meant to rally support for the independence movement\, celebratory tunes marking victories that lifted spirits\, \nhumorous songs poking fun at the enemy\, and lighter “pop” tunes beloved by the common people. Each of these songs tells a story of resilience\, hope\, and determination. \nSunday October 4\, 2026 at 3:00pm \nPrima Studio Theatre \nAll tickets $24 discounts available for active & retired military\, plus OCC Students\, faculty\, and staff. \nTickets go on sale Thursday July 9th at noon. \nwww.grunincenter.org \n732-255-0500 \nThis event is made possible through the generous support of the Ocean County Cultural & Heritage Commission.
