Life-Drawing Workshop with a difference!

Megan from MEGANZ School of Visual Arts

Time is running out to come and join our group of keen artists as we spend an afternoon drawing, not just a model but a musician!
Yep! We will be focusing on drawing a musician while they play.
(No, they are not nude, fully clothed!) We can listen while we work.
Only $20.00 for two hours. Saturday 25th July - 2.30 to 4.30 pm at Te Whare Ora, 37 Uxbridge Road, Howick. (Just next to Uxbridge)
I have called the workshop - 'Musocoal' - part Muso and Charcoal.
There will be light refreshments at half time. So bring your pencils, pens, charcoal, sketching paper whatever and enjoy the afternoon.
I will provide an A4 clipboard but if you want to go bigger that will be up to you to bring something to lean on. It will be tutor-less so you can explore drawing in your own way. Don't worry if you haven't done it before or not, just give it a go! Could be the start of a new thing for you! Phone or text Megan = 021 1085419

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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, we’re 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 — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
