For many of us, drawing seems to be a process that is reserved for the few who are born naturally talented, but techniques enabling students to draw from the right side of the brain, have enabled people all around the world to now draw like the professionals. For many of us, drawing seems to be a process that is reserved for the few who are born naturally talented, but techniques enabling students to draw from the right side of the brain, have enabled people all around the world to now draw like the professionals.Students learn the basic skill of observing that will enable them to draw with a high degree of skill and produce detailed finished drawings of high quality. Students will also develop new skills that will enhance their problem solving capacity to ensure their art is well proportioned and correctly represented.

Although lessons are designed to be easy to follow and step-by-step instructions are given by both Richard and Diana Moore, the results the students achieve, often in a short time, can be extraordinary. It is not long before students are comfortable in exploring new techniques, new mediums and styles, once they have mastered the most important aspects of art, drawing.

Specialising in students who have had no previous experience in art, Richard and Diana have created a fun and relaxed atmosphere within an informal environment where students can feel comfortable to learn at their own pace.

Ten years ago they were asked by Kerikeri Primary School to help volunteer with teaching students art. Due to the classes being so popular they were then asked to consider taking art lessons after school. Within the first two weeks of their initial advertising they had over one hundred students including adults, with extra classes during the day at Springbank School.

Today their classes still remain to be very popular and classes for Adults and Children are now held at Cherry Park House on Thursday and Friday during the day and after school. During the week both Richard and Diana are creating their own artworks for exhibiting in galleries and completing commissions for companies and individuals here in New Zealand and overseas.
