Traditional Art NZ is an art school at 10 Mauku Rd in Patumahoe, in the Franklin district south of Auckland. It has a 5.0 rating on Google.
Its website introduces Tomáš Lukáč, who was born in Slovakia and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in painting from the Academy of Art in Banská Bystrica. He settled in New Zealand in 2009, and his work spans drawing in pencil, charcoal and pastel and painting in watercolour, acrylics and oils, as well as printmaking and graphic design. The site describes a European style of teaching that builds a strong foundation before moving to more complex subjects, across portrait, still life, landscape and abstract work. A good art school starts with observation and drawing, gives regular feedback and lets you work at your own pace. Ask about class sizes, materials and what level a course suits, and contact them through the website to arrange a place.
