DESCRIPTION:Exposure 2023 Evening Photography Awards Reception take place on September 30\, 6:00-9:00 PM \nThe October show will be on view from September 30 – October 28. \nVisit Exposures online gallery\nSee website for hours or call 732-270-3111\nALL Galleries – Photo Club – Dan Epstein \n\nOpening Reception for “Hand-Maid Books” by Fran Van Ostrand & Tamara Woronczuk\nPop-Up Gallery\, October 1st from 1:00-4:00 PM \n\nTamara: “Many years ago while I was still teaching in Cranbury\, New Jersey\, I attended the annual Art Educators of New Jersey Conference. I was lucky enough to get into a basic book making workshop featuring the outstanding Harry Bower from Island Heights. The workshop was great\, and I brought several ideas back to my classes and eventually making a pamphlet style book became a part of the fifth-grade curriculum. Forward ahead several years\, I had retired\, moved to Toms River and was a member the Guild. Harry Bower offered a nighttime class here in a variety of handmade book styles\, paste paper making and various bindings. I took that class with about ten others and a serious love of making art books was born into which I could incorporate my love of mixed media. I spent hours in my studio recreating ideas\, combing others and eventually built up a fun collection of original books. During Covid I started to do a lot of hand stitched projects\, and this led to the creation of some fabric books. It’s lovely to hold a piece of art in your hands\, turn the pages\, open the folds. Thank you\, Harry\, for your inspiration and thanks to Fran for being my mixed media buddy!”\n  \n \n  \nFran: “I have always been artistic and when I was in high school\, I realized I wanted to go to art school after graduation. I went to Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts. There were many art classes\, and each teacher was a professional in their field. I learned a lot in 3 years. I went on to be a textile designer for the next 40 years. After retiring\, I joined the OCAG and took many classes there. I became interested in Mixed Media art and have been creating it ever since. I took a class with Harry Bower a few years ago and became interested in making books. Between mixed media projects I create different handmade books. I create handmade journals\, flag books\, and fun junk journals. For me it’s a great addiction and I can use all my “stuff” in the process.”

SUMMARY:OCAG103 Drawing with Joseph Rogine
DESCRIPTION:The Guild is pleased to have Joe Rogine back on our class schedule after a long absence.\nThis is the first of two 7-week sessions (9/7\, 14\, 21\, 28\, 10/5\, 12\, 19) being offered to ages 12 and up! (teen & adult) \nThese 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. \nIt is an academic course\, (academic being defined as that which can be taught). Drawings are created from 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. 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. \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. This 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. Joe Rogine supply list 2023.  \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Katie in the office at 732-270-3111 or by at info@ocartistsguild.org.\nHere are some examples of what students have created under Joe’s instruction.\nClick on thumbnail to see a larger image.

SUMMARY:OCAG103 Drawing with Joseph Rogine
DESCRIPTION:The Guild is pleased to have Joe Rogine back on our class schedule after a long absence.\nThis is the first of two 7-week sessions (9/7\, 14\, 21\, 28\, 10/5\, 12\, 19) being offered to ages 12 and up! (teen & adult) \nThese 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. \nIt is an academic course\, (academic being defined as that which can be taught). Drawings are created from 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. 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. \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. This 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. Joe Rogine supply list 2023.  \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Katie in the office at 732-270-3111 or by at info@ocartistsguild.org.\nHere are some examples of what students have created under Joe’s instruction.\nClick on thumbnail to see a larger image.
