“The Human Form” Life drawings by Andrea Beech. In the past drawing the human form has been an essential study tool for every artist. It trains the eye like no other. It helps you to understand the commonality and the deception of "what is" and of "what you see". Sculpted figures by Sophie Lankovsky “The figures are sculpted from a life model. The postures are true to life with added imagination. My aim is to find the essence of what I see and express a visual idea. *********************************
At the recent Committee meeting we noted that there are only 2 months to go to the end of our Financial Year [31-Dec-2022] yet only 57 of the 102 members residing in Hawkes Bay have contributed funds to the Branch. Time is running out. Your donations help maintain the Centre, which is such a wonderful place for us to gather and for people of Hawkes Bay to meet the Anthroposophical impulse. MEMBERS, IF YOU HAVE NOT MADE A CONTRIBUTION, WE NEED YOUR PAYMENT NOW. Here are the internet banking details: *********************************** In Hawkes Bay we are very fortunate that forty plus years ago local members raised funds to purchase 500 Nelson Street North which had been a corner dairy. Several years later, an unwanted house from the Taikura School grounds was moved adjacent to the original building. The foyer was built to join the two. Over the years many initiatives have been undertaken to improve the Centre, such as enlarging the main room by removing walls and putting in beams to support the roof. Our current task is to maintain this asset in good condition and improve its usability. Costs can arise unexpectedly and suddenly. For example, we currently have a bill of close to $1,000 to repair part of our guttering system. We realise that members also have their own financial pressures so we don’t set a fixed financial subscription as one would for a magazine or internet service or property rates or rent, where the rule is “no pay = no service”. We request that members make an annual contribution of $80 (as determined by our AGM early in the year). Members have the discretion about how much they pay. Many members are able and do contribute the asked amount, some more, some less. We would like every member to make a contribution – however little. For some this may be a coin koha every time they visit the centre. Others pay by a monthly Direct Credit. *******************************
These gatherings are on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of each month, from 7 to 8:30 pm. We have interesting discussions on current affairs that have caught participants interest over the past few weeks and also share ideas about one of Rudolf Steiner’s Leading Thoughts. All interested in a lively interaction to end the week are welcome. Leading Thoughts were given by Rudolf Steiner in the last year of his life as a succinct summary of the anthroposophical path and understanding of existence that he had developed over his lifetime. Looking forward they are likely to be: ******************************
