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

Hope to meet you
Cheers
Megan Murphy

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?
New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.
But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.
So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?

‘Tis the season to not get scammed ...
As Christmas gift shopping moves increasingly online, scammers are ramping up their activity across the country.
Dunedin’s Investigation Support Unit is seeing more and more people fall victim to scams and other fraudulent activity, particularly on Facebook Marketplace.
There are a few ways to avoid the scams and keep yourself safe doing online trades this holiday season, says Southern District Service Delivery Manager Senior Sergeant Dalton.
🔒 “A good first step when looking to purchase something on Marketplace is to check when the seller’s Facebook profile was created. If it’s very recent, there is a higher risk that they have just created this account for a one-off fake item.”
🔒 Another important step is to make sure the seller’s profile name and bank account name match up. “We’re seeing a lot of scammers claiming their bank account name is different because it belongs to their partner or family member - that’s a huge red flag."
🔒 “When you’re selling, never trust a screenshot anyone sends you showing that payment has been made. Check your own bank account to make sure a payment has gone through."
🔒 “Quite frankly, it’s best for all parties to agree to pay, or be paid, for items in cash and in-person. Ideally in a public place with CCTV coverage."
🔒 "If you’re buying a car, check Carjam.co.nz to see if it’s stolen or if there’s money owed on it.”
A reminder: Suspicious activity can be reported on 105
