Hi everyone,
How are your creative thoughts flowing? Need to refresh them?
Then come along to one of our art courses this coming term.
Or you may want to start by trying a one-on-one class to ease your way into it.
You could also get a few friends together and create your own class. Finding a shared direction that we can facilitate. Options are endless.
At present we have after-school and Saturday morning class times with up to eight in a class, but we can always open up new times, given the interest. We accept students from the age of 9 through to adults.
We do a mix of student and tutor-initiated learning, whereby students will follow us for a time, doing a class project together. Then we throw it over to the students to do whatever each individual would like to do and we follow them.
We mainly revolve around drawing, painting, mixed media and sculpture, and a wee bit of print, but we always like to try new things.
Contact Megan and make a 20-minute appointment before the course starts to let us know what you want to focus on and what materials you will need.
Check out our website for details - www.vizart.co.nz...
Hope to see you and/or your child this coming term. Which will begin from 25th April for 8 weeks.

Cheers
Megan Murphy and Greta Umbers

Poll: Should we scrap daylight saving?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This Sunday we'll be putting our clocks back for the end of daylight saving. Despite the benefits of an extra hour of sun during daylight saving, these clock changes commonly bring disruptions to our households and sleep - some feel that it should be scrapped altogether. What do you think?
