'I am Margaret Feeney, artist and art tutor. Join me on this fun and inventive programme to learn how to draw. You don’t need to know anything about drawing or art! Both absolute beginners and practicing artists are welcome.'
This programme is skills-based: we begin with mark-making and look at basic drawing techniques such as cross-contour, planar structure, reductive drawing, linear volume, and so on. We will consider the elements and their organising principles. Formal instruction is interspersed with play: conceptual drawing, 3D drawing, drawing with light and with the silhouette, and the painting sketch.
Drawing isn’t about rules or a pretty picture. It is about adventure, courage, and discipline. We are drawing information from the material world to inform our thoughts and feelings. And to see that world more clearly.
Join me on this adventure- we’ll be covered in charcoal on one week, in clay the next. And our minds and skills will grow!

So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

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?
If you’re keen to dive into the details, Deborah Morris breaks down all the latest insights.
