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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
