I have just received a visit from a young lady asking for a minute of my time to show me some art for a "local community art exposure". Being an art teacher, I was all about it and agreed to participate. I knew something was definitely not right when she attributed one art work to the wrong artist but of a similar style. Unfortunately and not surprisingly, it became a sales call and had very little to do with enriching the community. The girl, I'm guessing on a working holiday seemed quite harmless and had a very pleasant approach. Yet she followed a script that was highly manipulative and included information that I believe to be false. Part of this script stated that the artworks are made by people who have recently finished art school from countries all around the world. I have traveled a bit in my life and know these paintings are done in villages in China and parts of South East Asia. The works are usually sold to tourists for around $40 depending on your negotiation skills. I do not wish to deprive these artists an income, but I object to the dishonesty and manipulative strategies employed by this business. When I said I didn't want to buy anything, the guilt was laid on thick and fast- "it's awful being out on a night like this, I hope I sell something" etc etc. I think it's all part of their training and designed to make you buy something.
I do not wish to deter anyone from purchasing these if you genuinely like the works, but I want people to get the whole picture and not get sucked in by the word "community" being used to gain trust.
Opening this Saturday to the public! We'd love to see you there.

Have you heard this trick before? A handy hack on how to open OXO cubes is causing a stir online, as it seems many of us have been doing it all wrong.
Forget crumbling up the cube after opening the silver foil packaging - it seems that packaging was actually designed to be flattened. To read more click here.
Simply open up the flaps on the side, flatten them out and then crumble the cube inside the package, turning it into a powder that's a heck of a lot easier to add to your dish.
Did you know this handy trick? Have you been opening the cubes the wrong way your whole life like the rest of us? Will this make cooking for your family a little easier? Share your thoughts in the replies below!

This year Age Concern New Zealand want all New Zealanders to sign up as Age Concern Dignity Champions and stand up for the human rights of older Kiwis.
“There is no excuse for elder abuse, says Stephanie Clare, Age Concern New Zealand Chief Executive. I am appalled that we are still having to deal with cases each day where older people are taken advantage of.
“Just because someone is older it doesn’t mean they are less valuable, have less purpose or should lose basic human rights, the right to make their own choices and respect from those around them.
“Of the cases we see, 75% of alleged abusers are family members, either adult children or partners of adult children and that needs to stop!
“So come on Kiwis we all have a part to play. You can take a stand against ageism and join me by signing up today!” says Stephanie.
An Age Concern Dignity Champion pledges to:
• Reject stereotypes and focus on the uniqueness of every individual
• Speak up when they hear people speaking negatively about growing old
• Have the courage to question practices they feel are disrespectful to older people
• Not patronise older people
• Be patient, polite and friendly
• Have zero tolerance for abuse or neglect
• Build relationships – they combat isolation and loneliness by getting to know the older people in their lives.
