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). Drawings 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.

SUMMARY:Building Better Paintings Through Stronger Composition and Design
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, students will learn the essentials of strong design and composition so they can bring their paintings to a higher level. \nThrough guided exercises\, students will practice seeing the picture plane in terms of shapes\, value\, color\, continuation\, aerial perspective\, and overall design rather than relying only on subject matter. \nThe class will introduce the basic principles of composition in an accessible\, practical way\, giving students a stronger foundation for creating successful paintings. \nEach week\, Joyce will provide one photo for students to redesign. \nThe first week will focus on a landscape\, the second on a still life\, and the final week on a figurative painting. \nAs a group\, students will discuss the changes they made and consider how those choices strengthen or weaken the painting. \nStudents may continue working on their pieces at home if they wish. \nTuitions:  $100/ $85 (members) \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \neducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n609-597-3557

SUMMARY:ZEN: 3-D Star Class
DESCRIPTION:Transform your Zen patterns into an origami shape. \nAll it takes are some simple tools\, a little bit of time\, and the magic of focusing solely in the present moment as you form each stroke of a tangle and bend each fold of the paper. \nThese moments of being focused will provide an unexpected sense of calmness and release of stress. \nCome try it for yourself and discover a lighthearted and peaceful way to create whimsical works of graphic art that will “stand out” from the rest. \nNext class will be exploring more shapes\, so this class is good practice to get started. \nSupplies included. \nTuition:  $35 \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \neducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n609-597-3557

SUMMARY:Pysanky Egg Decorating: The Ancient Art of Ukrainian Egg Decorating
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the spring at Pine Shores Art Association with this unique opportunity to learn a skill and folk tradition that is traditionally passed down by the Matriarch of the family. \nPysanky is an ancient art of creating beautiful designs on eggs. \nPatterns are drawn on the egg with hot beeswax\, which then protects the covered areas from the dye that is applied. \nBy repeating this process with different colors of dye\, a multi-colored pattern is built up. \nThe wax is removed at the end to reveal the colors that were covered up at each stage. \nA great deal of patience and concentration is required to complete a single egg\, but it is very rewarding to reveal your hard work when the wax is taken off. \nAll skill levels and ages can create an original pysanka. No prerequisite skills required. \nThis workshop will cover the history and traditions surrounding pysanky\, demonstration\, and an independent practice session. \nThe instructor will provide a variety of organic eggs and dyes; all supplies are included. \nPlease bring a container or old egg carton to take home  your creation. \nAges 18+ \nTuition:  $55/$50(member) \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \neducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n609-597-3557
