ART
LIFE DRAWING
Tutor: Alan Gunn
Life drawing is the drawing and study of the undraped human figure both male and
female.
Monday Master class:
This is an untutored class for experienced artists.
The intention is to create a group of artists, which is cohesive, but individually selfmotivated.
The paper is provided if required, the time and space as in the past, but the tutor
intends to get some drawing of his own done along with the group.
Tuesday Class:
This class will run subject to numbers being sufficient to justify it.
It will be tutored, assistance and advice is given on the basis of individual need,
rather than a prescribed regimen which all are expected to follow. Students wishing
to join the group will find support and encouragement, and as with the Monday
group, have the option of having paper supplied for an additional $30, or bringing
their own.
For more information on both classes, and to enrol, please use our web site:

Qigong
Tutor: Vanessa Lukes
Qigong (pronounced ‘Chi Kung’), is an ancient Chinese exercise that uses
movement, mind and Qi (life force or energy). Related to Tai Chi, it has a focus
on improving health and life. In this course we will learn gentle exercises to guide
the mind to draw in and replenish Qi. The movements increase flexibility, balance
and coordination, the Qi heals and energises, and the whole activity brings deep
relaxation and a calm and focused mind. We will also explore the nature of Qi and
how to harness this energy in everyday life.
Suitable for any level of fitness. Wear comfortable clothing.

great, I learnt so much...’ Yolanda

woman learn what works for her, how to shop for it, and how to put it together. Joanna
