MEGANZ School of Visual Arts Term 2 Begins
Our Art Development courses are beginning again for Term 2 from Tuesday 3rd May for eight weeks.
We focus on a range of disciplines such as - Drawing, Painting, Mixed Media, and Sculpture within these courses.
The term is broken into a combination of tutor and student-initiated sessions, whereby I do demonstrations and structured lessons for some of the time, and then I encourage students to follow what they would like to focus on. Within the class, each student is working on their own projects and working at their own pace and from their own level of ability. This I find is really beneficial in the fact students are more likely to compare their current work with their own past work and not against someone else's work in the class. They are on their own journey.
Classes are for ages 9 through to adults. Up to 8 students per class.
They are run from my home studio in Howick and they have been going since 2007.
I also like to help teenage art students with their College artboard work. I offer one-on-one lessons, group lessons, and casual lessons within the group class times.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
