Enrolling for Term 1 - Art Development courses for tweens, teens and adults
Happy New Year everyone,
Back into again for 2024. This year is going to be a good one, I can feel it.
MEGANZ School of Visual Arts is now in the process of enrolling new students for Term 1.
We accept tweens, teens, and adults in our mixed-aged classes.
My daughter Greta Umbers and I are planning some cool art
projects we can start the year with. Then we will open it up and follow each student's unique path and ideas, helping them to create what is in their mind's eye.
We have various class times/days available to choose from, so
come along and book a 20-minute meet-and-greet appointment before the courses begin and we will explain how we work and what you will need.
We are based in Cockle Bay, (opposite Howick College).
Classes begin from the 30th of January for 8 weeks, however, you can enroll any time throughout the terms.
Check out our website for details - www.vizart.co.nz...
Look forward to meeting and working with you.
Cheers
Megan Murphy

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
