OCAG204 Drawing with Joseph Rogine
2024-11-21 19:00 - 21:00 | NJ
FLASH, you are in luck!!
This instructor is NOW offering a per diem pricing:
$20 members & $25 non-members for those who missed the beginning of this class session.
This per class fee can be paid to instructor at time of class.
NOTE: Please contact Instructor if you plan to take advantage of this offer.
This is a 4-week class on Thursdays, October 31. November 7, 14, 21; 7-9 pm being offered to ages 12 and up!
Instructor: Joseph Rogine
These classes are designed for both beginning to advanced students who want to sharpen their skills in drawing. I have taught students for over 25 years who have never picked up a pencil to draw to those who have been quite advanced.
It 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.
All students start out using graphite pencils with grades of 2H HB 2B. The 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.
The 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. This opens a whole new world towards a visual literacy that was very common in school curricula 100 to 150 years ago.
Depending 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.
If you have any questions, please contact Joseph Rogine at 732-349-6859, or by email at info@ocartistsguild.org. (ages 12+, teen, adult, drawing)
Here are some examples of what students have created under Joseph’s instruction.
