They will be branching out to include themes and ideas of their own soon, but still mindful of working with abstract techniques, to blend and dwell in the line between abstraction and realism.
We still have a few spaces within some of the class times this term if you or your child want to start now or you can leave it until the new term, which begins from Monday 29th April. We invite students from age 10 through to adults to come along and enjoy our classes.

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...

Hi everyone,
How are your creative thoughts flowing? Need to refresh them?
Then come along to one of our art courses this coming term.
Or you may want to start by trying a one-on-one class to ease your way into it.
You could also get a few friends together and create your own class. Finding a shared direction that we can facilitate. Options are endless.
At present we have after-school and Saturday morning class times with up to eight in a class, but we can always open up new times, given the interest. We accept students from the age of 9 through to adults.
We do a mix of student and tutor-initiated learning, whereby students will follow us for a time, doing a class project together. Then we throw it over to the students to do whatever each individual would like to do and we follow them.
We mainly revolve around drawing, painting, mixed media and sculpture, and a wee bit of print, but we always like to try new things.
Contact Megan and make a 20-minute appointment before the course starts to let us know what you want to focus on and what materials you will need.
Check out our website for details - www.vizart.co.nz...
Hope to see you and/or your child this coming term. Which will begin from 25th April for 8 weeks.
