Howick Art Classes at MEGANZ School of Visual Arts
Hi everyone,
We are back into a new term for the year. Our students are off to a great start. We are looking at 'abstraction' in art to begin with and exploring all sorts of materials to create an artist's book.
This is the 'seed phase' of the creative act. Where we throw the seeds in the ground and see what grows.
You're lucky, as we still have a few spaces in some of our classes, so you or your child are most welcome to join us. New students from age - tweens, teens, and adults can begin at any time throughout the term. We have up to 8 students in each class. There are after-school, evening, and Saturday class times available.
Please check out our website for details and text or phone Megan to make an initial 20-minute meet and greet appointment before you or your child begins the class. www.vizart.co.nz...

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, 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!
