Take your pen and ink skills to the next level in this three-session intermediate course focused on creating greater depth, dimension, and movement in your drawings. Building on foundational techniques, students will explore perspective, cross-contour lines, and three-dimensional rendering while gaining confidence in applying these skills to real-world subjects.
Session One: Explore one-, two-, and three-point perspective, along with techniques for placing objects accurately within three-dimensional space.
Session Two: Learn how to use cross-contour lines to better understand form and create the illusion of three-dimensional objects through line and shading.
Session Three: Put your skills into practice with a still life drawing. Students will apply techniques from previous beginner courses along with those introduced throughout this intermediate class, building confidence through hands-on, real-time application.

History Talk: Women and the American Revolution
Sunday, October 11 from 1-2 PM. 
129 Spring Street, Newton NJ 
During the 16th Annual Sussex County Heritage Weekend, step beyond the familiar stories of founding fathers and battlefield victories to discover the powerful, often overlooked women from the American Revolution.
Join Joel Farkas for an illuminating history talk that brings to life 25 remarkable women who broke the mold and defied 18th-century expectations. At a time when women were expected to remain silent and unseen, they became spies, strategists, writers, business owners, and even soldiers. Their courage, intelligence, and resilience helped fuel a revolution and found a nation.
You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the Revolution not just as a military conflict, but as a social turning point shaped by women left out of the history books.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply curious about the untold stories of America’s founding era, this presentation promises fresh insight and inspiring perspectives.
Celebrate Heritage Weekend and rediscover the Revolution through the forgotten stories of women who helped make it possible.
