Art Lessons for Tweens, Teens & Adults
Hi everyone,
I hope you are all feeling safe and dry as this storm travels over us. Good chance to do some drawing. 😊
Just thought I would take a minute to let you all know that my art classes are beginning again for this term.
Students can start any time throughout the term. For ages 9 through to adults.
We are focusing on drawing and painting still-life this term, so a good challenge ahead.
I generally do a mix of tutor and student initiated learning throughout the year.
Our basic schedule for this year will be Term 1 - Still-life
Term 2 - Landscape
Term 3 - The face - human or animal
Term 4 - People in their environment
Check out our website www.vizart.co.nz... for details on course fees and times and look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
