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

Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
