Instructor: Joseph Rogine
These classes are designed for both&nbsp;beginning to advanced students&nbsp;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.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ocartistsguild.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Joe-Rogine-supply-list-2023.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Joseph Rogine supply list 2024.</a>
If you have any questions, please contact Joseph Rogine at 732-349-6859, or by email at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:info@ocartistsguild.org">info@ocartistsguild.org</a>. (ages 12+, teen, adult, drawing)

From saucers to superheroes and anything in between, the subject matter is your selection !!! Utilize your own photo reference material, or borrow from the instructor. This class is for teens who enjoy making art but need guidance with drawing skills, use of materials, color choices and composition. The principles of design, composition, value are learned using the traditional art materials of various pencils, watercolor, acrylic and pastel… or a combination of medium. Students 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. To 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.

De Lareau Studio

I was born and raised in Toms River, and this community means everything to me. Our salon is family-owned, built on love, dedication, and the values I grew up with. I’ve been in the hair industry for over 20 years, and opening my own salon has always been a lifelong dream. I named the salon in honor of my father, who passed away last year. He was the proud dad of five daughters, and with his passing, his name would have ended with him. By giving the salon his name, I’ve created a way to keep his legacy alive and honor the strong work ethic and values he instilled in me. At our salon, we’re not just about great hair—we’re about family, community, and carrying forward a legacy of hard work and care.
