SUMMARY:Weekly Art Class for Teens-Ages 12yrs-16yrs/Tuesdays
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nWeekly Art Class for Teens-Ages 12yrs-16yrs/Tuesdays \nHands-on art classes with Richard Cox and Keith Cheek\, South Toms River Elementary Art Teachers\, let creativity take the lead! \nEach week introduces a new medium\, technique\, or challenge—so no two sessions are ever the same. \nStudents will explore a wide range of art forms\, including sculpture\, clay\, papier-mâché\, printmaking\, painting\, and drawing. \nProjects may include gel plate printing\, lino cuts\, perspective drawing\, still life\, portraits\, abstract work\, and more. \nSome sessions encourage free creation with themed prompts\, while others are inspired by artists like Picasso\, Van Gogh\, Mondrian\, and Banksy. \nActivities may include collage\, graffiti art\, character design\, and collaborative projects. \nLonger projects allow students to develop ideas over time\, including sculpture work\, sketchbook practice\, and a group mural for Downtown Toms River. \nBuild your skills\, confidence\, and a portfolio to be proud of. Open to all levels. Beginners welcome. \nhttps://www.trac732.org/ \ntomsriverartistcomminity732@gmail.com \n732-377-0290

SUMMARY:The Bob Band-A Bob Dylan Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Experience the music of Bob Dylan like never before as The Bob Band brings his legendary songs to The Strand\, in a moving and deeply authentic concert. \nThis Washington D.C. Quintet offers a richly musical journey through Dylan’s extraordinary catalog\, performing with authenticity\, reverence and a clear love for the music. \nRather than imitating Dylan\, the band brings decades of experience to arrangements that highlight the character and depth of his recordings across folk\, rock\, country\, blues\, and gospel. \nWith thoughtful storytelling and a rotating setlist that includes “like a Rolling Stone\, Tangled Up in Blue\, Mr. Tambourine Man\, and Make You Feel My Love”. \nThe Bob Band captures the sound and soul of one of the most influential artists of all time. It’s not imitation-it’s a celebration of the music that became it’s own genre. \nstrand.org
