Art Classes. Creative development or learning English through creative play

From 22.46 £ /h

I can teach observational art, on location where we draw and paint landscapes, developing colour theory and different types of construction, perspective and mark making. I can also offer more abstract exploration, where we may start with a concept or an image as a starting point and create a more imaginative work from it. This process often includes creating a collage from which the student may be inspired to create a more surreal piece through abstraction. Alternatively, the student could suggest an idea they have been interested in, e.g. a story or news piece they read and I can guide them in the ways in which they may use their artistic process to develop this idea into a piece.

I can also offer teaching English through creative play; using imagery as an aid to developing the language.

About Me

Teaching for me is fundamental to being an artist. To be an artist is to be part of a community of creation. I hope to share this creativity with others and learn from them through their unique expression. I have skills to share but I believe it is only to help others express their unique voice rather than imposing one prescriptive way in which anyone 'should' make art.

I have been teaching drawing classes weekly for four years now, in Dublin and now Athens, and hope only to expand my teaching practice.

The practical insight has been developed throughout enduring studies from 2 different institutional perspectives inspired the urge to convey this to the art enthusiasts of all levels and age. Each age is special within the education similarly all targets pointed from the creative spirits creating thus various anticipations. Those anticipations are the basis of each class. My classes are designed through collaborations when it comes to experimentations or intersected fields and mediums, which is an option and pertinent characteristic of approach.

However the one who lasts for foundation and aspires him/her the concept of taking it further to possible academic preparation will grab charcoals, a spoke, the required papers, instal from simple to complex still life compositions and set forth the journey of academic drawing theory. And then, of course, start with colour, of both acrylic and oil medium.

Pre-school children, children and teenagers are highly encouraged to experiment with different materials and techniques and preferably through themes - selected by me or the student's likings as well. Needless to say that suchlike classes do not necessarily mean free-time activity, the academic material is intentionally or not(unconsciously) always a present element of my instructive performance. Therefore, the game becomes teaching/learning relation, whilst teaching and learning turn into a recreational joyful moment for all participants.

The aforementioned forms of classes are applicable to all ages.

I am a creative art educator and artist who has a strong passion for introducing individuals to contemporary art.
With a background in art, editing, writing and illustration, my experience allows me to display dedicated knowledge
in research as well as a strong sense of self-motivation, attention to detail, and commitment to long-term goals. I
have a collaborative teaching approach that really empowers the students. My aim is to provide pupils with the
necessary tools to achieve their goals, and foster a process of strong motivation and experimentation. Additionally, my academic training in Fine Art and Education has taught me ways of mediating skills I possess, through the use of effective learning methods.

‘Analogue Photography’ refers to photography using an analogue camera and film. A roll of film is loaded into the camera and the magic begins once you start clicking: light interacts with the chemicals in the film and an image is recorded. The pictures collected on your film roll come to life when the film is processed.

ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED: 35MM CAMERA, FILM AND CHEMISTRY INCLUDED

On this course I will teach you the basics of analogue photography - old school film photography. You will learn how to load film, take accurate light readings for correct exposures, you will learn about depth of field and shutter speed. Once you have taken your first roll of film you will then learn how to develop this film. Other students may wish to work with pinhole photography and learn how to build their own cameras.

Greek Art A-Z is a journey into the world of Modern Greek Art & culture from the independence of the Greek State to the present times.
We will explore together all the important artistic creations and set them in their historical and social context, in order to understand their coherence, establish the direct relationship between art and the cultural evolution of each period, and connect Art with life.
Art, whether it serves religion, beliefs, ideals, passions, ambitions, hopes, or the need for communication, is a unique aesthetic experience combining myth with history and science.
The course also includes guest lecturers and artists talks as well as visits to museums, galleries and ateliers.

*Trips and in situ lectures for students in Athens or virtual tours for the web students.

Presentations, texts, images, videos, virtual collections, documentaries, gallery & museum visits*
