Howick Boutigue Art School. Term 2 classes. Start any time

Megan from Cockle Bay

Hi everyone,
This term at MEGANZ School of Visual Arts, the students can choose their own art projects to work on.
Anything, from drawing realistic subject matter to using their imagination to create characters, etc. To paint in acrylics or watercolours, or mixed media, on themes of their choice. To sculpt using clay or papier mache, plasticine, Sculpey, plaster, or mixed media. Or find something on the internet to try out.
I take students from age 10 through to adults.
They can begin any time throughout the term because everyone is working on their own projects and in their own time.
There are up to eight students in each class.
I only have a few spaces left this term to fill, so don't miss out
Check out the students work on my Instagram page @meganzsva
And take a look at the course details on my website
www.vizart.co.nz...
Hope to meet you
Cheers
Megan Murphy

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
