Our 2019 Art courses are nearly to a close.
Hi all,
This year has been a hard year for my family and I with the loss of our youngest son in September. I had to stop teaching my art classes for a while. I did, however, manage to resume them for this final term and now we only have two weeks left for the year.
My students have done some amazing work this year and I am proud of every one of them as I see their individual progress.
I am looking forward to starting again in 2020 with new ideas and projects, with Plein air drawing and painting in the February summer months being one of them. I teach students from age 10 through to adults, with a combination of student-initiated and tutor-initiated projects. So keep us in mind if you or your child will be interested in learning - drawing, painting, mixed media and sculpture in the new year.
Contact me (Megan) if you would like me to make a voucher for a Xmas present for however many art classes you would like for next year.
Wishing you all a very special summer festive season.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weβre a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
π Riddle me this, legends! π
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
