At MEGANZ School of Visual Arts
Our term 4, after-school, evening, and Saturday Art-Development courses are beginning from 14th of October. They are based in Cockle Bay, Auckland. For ages 10 through to adults.

Our focus is on drawing, painting, and sculpture. Our course structure is based on a combination of tutor and student-initiated projects.
Students can work at their own pace, and from their own chosen themes and ideas. We help them achieve their aims.
(As it is Xmas coming up at the end of this term, you or your child may want to create that special present for someone they love.)

The school is run by Megan Murphy and is based in a home studio. It has been operating since 2007.
Please contact Megan to make a 20-minute appointment time to meet, before you would like to join the course. We will discuss your or your child's initial aims and see what art materials you will need and which time slot suits you.
Check out our website for details - www.vizart.co.nz...
Take a look at our student's work on Instagram - @meganzsva

Look forward to meeting you
