RAVE REVIEWS

"I would love to respond to you about how I feel about your wonderful lessons. Jackson has been attending your ARTZSPARK lessons for almost a year now and loving every minute of it. He is easily distracted and being a 7 year old boy, is very active and fidgety. I guess he displays this in your lessons, however ... I can assure you - he always comes home with the full story of what has been happening at art class. He is brought up in a home which is environmentally and socially conscious. He is a koori kid who needs lots of self-awareness and confidence and he gets all of the above at your lessons. Creativity is a thing which teachers (such as myself) struggle to fit into their ridiculously busy class program but which is vital in forming fully rounded and appreciative children. Thankyou for being an important part of Jackson's development. He has felt welcome and accepted at your groups"
Dionne Hanbidge (mum and primary teacher)

“Although Michelle(9) and Claire(7) have only been going to ArtzSpark Classes for 2 terms, their talent for choosing colours and drawing have increased enormously. They now often spend their spare time producing works of art at a level which adults would be proud to achieve. ArtzSpark has given them the confidence to experiment with completely fresh ideas by creating an environment where every picture produced is a total success!”
Wil Edwards (mum)
 

"I've watched his confidence in his abilities grow, he continually enjoys his new skills and the company of the other students. It's important for him to have this shared creative time, many of his friends have lots of sport, but for Brin the balance between active and creative is extremely important."

Kim Waters (mum and highschool teacher)

“Over the past five years in of ArtzSpark classes Madeleine has had a wonderful social experience working with a group who have learnt to value their own and each others efforts. She has discovered there is no one right or wrong way of doing things; she has used many different materials, learnt lots of new styles and different ways of drawing and painting. Her teacher Tracy Verdugo is also a member of a vibrant and growing local art community, this has meant the children have had opportunities to enter art competitions, hold exhibitions, audition for a short movie and be involved in the local “See Change” art event. I would highly recommend Tracy’s art classes”
Nicki Kennedy ( mum/ early childhood teacher)

“Art with Tracy is always creative and conducted in a nurturing environment with appreciation for the wider social and physical world we live in. Its wonderful to have this learning opportunity for our children”
Peter and Joanne Dooley (mum & dad, both highschool teachers) “

"Tracy gently guides and cares for her students. She provides lots of variety in art activities. I love Tracy’s kind heart towards people less fortunate than us. Thanks Tracy!”

Caroline Corrigan (mum) “

I feel ArtzSpark is giving students confidence in developing their own artistic style,encouraging them to think about other children all over the world and to challenge themselves in many ways”

Jenny Robertson (mum, artist, teacher)

“Aidan always comes home from his ArtzSpark class with a sense of excitement and self satisfaction. It’s a wonderful way for children to observe and interact with the world around them- encouraging them to see the world from different perspectives and broadening their horizons” 
Rosana Nemet (mum, early childhood educator)

 “Tracy’s holistic approach to teaching has broadened my daughters mind, tamed many of her fears and created a much more positive, stimulating approach to life in general”

“Billy has not been attending ArtzSpark classes for that long- but in the period that he has been going he really seems to enjoy it. He has a little trouble with group things, so I try to get him into as many things as I can manage. He really likes the teacher and the challenge..”
Helen Quigley ( mum)

“Tracy is a fantastic role model for my two children who have been attending ArtzSpark for five years. Tracy has helped develop their confidence, creativity and compassion. ArtzSpark is a friendly, warm and accepting environment for my children to grow and learn about themselves and others. Thank you Tracy for your patence and encouragement”
