WANTED - Bored Youth for Art Classes
Do you have creative kids? then this art class could be one of the most rewarding and satisfying activities they could do these school holidays. Drop your kids off at Petone's Artspace Gallery and while you head off for a coffee morning at one of our fabulous Petone Cafes, we'll guide them through painting their own watercolour of a sunset at Island Bay which they'll be so soooo of.
There's a choice of two, 2 hour workshops on Wednesday 9th October to choose from, 10am ages 7 - 12 or 1pm start for teens. The cost of $25 includes all materials. generously sponsored by Watercolour New Zealand Inc. Just turn up empty handed and pick up your child again after two hours later with their completed watercolour painting to be proud of and a smile of creative satisfaction on their dial.
No previous art experience is required - these workshops are suitable for both beginners and more experienced watercolour artists who would like to fine tune their skills and style. Don't worry about drawing as this will already be done for you to enable us to focus on the joys of watercolour painting. .

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
