Answers to some Questions you might have:
1) What is Young at Art Studio ?
Young at Art Studio is the name of my atelier/studio/gallery
located in the Historic Village on 17th Ave in Tauranga - Bay of Plenty.
Young at Art, from Young
at Heart, I want to make sure people from all ages will feel happy to
join and start; continue and explore their artistic journey.
2) Who are you ?
Me ? I am Joyce, mother of 2 school age children, a boy and a girl, how lucky did I get ? I also have a very supportive husband who assists and creates all kinds of things I need for my art exploits
(the behind-the-scene-man you could call him)
3) What is your background ?
I was born and grew up in the
Netherlands/Europe and have been a NZ resident since 1995. This is where
I had my babies, this is home.
I am a partly trained
and partly self taught visual artist. I like everything hands can create
and am always hungry to learn more. I constantly look for new materials
and will take workshops myself to get to know new techniques or learn by trial
and error myself. Basically I like to play !
I tutor and coach school
aged children as well as adults that either want to learn a new skill or
have the need for some Art healing.
4) Art Healing, huh-what is that ?
Art healing is the wonderful process
of learning to transfer your innermost feelings onto paper or canvas
into your art and thus empty your brain from those thoughts and feelings
that are stressing you out or hurting you.
(Art Journaling can be perfect for this. I know this from personal experience and can help you do the same)
MAKE ART - STAY YOUNG !
Parents please read this:
re/ expected conduct during the children's art classes: These classes are meant to teach the children about art, techniques and material use. (They are not just an after school care) This means, it requires a certain amount of respect
to me as the tutor but also towards the fellow students, so that all
will benefit from these sessions. When I notice disturbances in the
group and the student is non-responsive to my warnings, I will notify the parent(s) I feel it is unfair towards the willing students when non-motivated children keep them from doing good work. I trust you will understand.
