Tuition Workshops and Classes
		Workshops usually take place over weekends as this gives people who work full time a chance to experience Art Tutoring and an intense 2/3day workshop. However there are some workshops that are longer such as when we have travel to a specific region like Central Otago, Nelson or Taumanui or even Australia this year where it might be 6 to10 days. Although I am Wellington based I can and do travel to various parts of New Zealand and as I am a fully trained Art Teacher with experience of all age groups the content is often dictated by the group employing me or in consultation with me. I have also developed an advisory and critique role where I either work with small cooperative studio groups or privately or on a one to one basis.
		My Major Principles of Teaching are... That there are many art techniques and skills both in the doing and the seeing and I believe in passing these skills on to the student. That each student will be encouraged to work in and make progress according to his/her style of expression. I teach one or two classes a week in Wellington when I am in the country. One of these classes has just graduated to running itself as a cooperative “studio group” whom I visit rarely and only at a specific invitation or for a teaching purpose. Private, weekly class and Workshop students are all encouraged to exhibit as a group at the end of each year. This is an exciting event for all concerned and is used as a framing and selling experience. It is organised by a committee of students and there are always good sales from this. Other students have progressed to exhibiting with others or as a Solo Artists……ie Karen Mills: www.artistik.co.nz Deorwyn Baker, Shelley Feehan, Viv Maidaborn, Barbara Saunders, Robin Riley and Philippa Wilson Workshops and Classes I have given...

Wellington Quotes for Teaching. “Rosemary is a very experienced teacher and educator with humour and warmth she brings out the best in every student, working from where they are at and extending them in different directions allowing for individuals scope and needs.” “ Is there anything you would like to change about this course? Yes having to go home!” “Excellent tutor, encouraging, stimulating, challenging and with exciting results, great atmosphere etc" “Thank you for enabling me to stretch the imagination and attempt what seemed the impossible"
