"The girls have had a fantastic time with you,and I am so pleased that they have the  opportunity to learn from someone who really knows their stuff.I used to think that art (and sport and music etc) were all down to talent,but I learned eventually that  tools,techniques,experience and exposure were also fundamental to exploring your ability and  to learning how to learn."

"Jacqui van den Berg oversaw the project working with the children on painting techniques.  The mural depicted the local legend of Te Rau o te Rangi.  A student involved in the project said it took a long time but Jacqui taught us lots of new skills like how to use the paint brush correctly and how to use different painting techniques."
