KS3 and KS4 Art and design curriculum or one off sessions - Canary Wharf - Private lessons

KS3 and KS4 Art and design curriculum or one off sessions

From 29 £ /h

There is not always enough time during a single or double period of art weekly, in the school setting to create and complete work or achieve a desired result.
It could be that you want to get better at a desired skill or further your techniques.
Maybe you are struggling a little to understand something about the GCSE process, or do not have enough one to one support from the classroom teacher due to classroom sizes and length of the lesson.
Even if it's for Homework support or constructive feedback, I am happy to provide my service.

If you would like to know more, please get in touch.

I am very looking forward to hear from you.

Basic geometric pattern is for anyone from any field of art. The pre-req that is required for the course is patience and resutltantly it will teach you versatile language of visual proportionality which will any art practiioner who is either working on 2D or 3D space or any kind of visual art. Geometry is not an art form it is tool to develop visual to understand art or space which we are enclosed around.
Particularly in this we focus on Mughal and Alhambra's visual asthetics just to make the students to be focused. But will definitely understand in the initial classes that they will absorb lots different visuals which they are regularly around them. It is a tool to understand frames, depths and differents tillings.
Students will learn the following via Demonstrations/ practical, Lectures:
1. Fundamental use of compass /Polygons and their jorgans
2. Drawing six-fold & four-fold geometric patterns, which have been used throughout Muslim traditional art; Use of isometric grids in Islamic geometric design/patterns

I am a fine artist specialising in painting with over ten years experience and training from the prestigious Slade School of art. I can provide expert tutoring in all areas of fine art painting including oil acrylic and watercolours as well as observational and life drawing.

Having studied history and art history at the university of Bristol I am also able to tutor in the wider theory surrounding historical and contemporary painting if needed.

I am able to teach any level from primary through to GCSE's and A-Levels and beyond.

Are you a new aspiring artist trying your hand at creating artwork for the first time?
Or do you want to improve your skills with valuable advice on your practice perhaps in preparation for a course of study or to perfect your technique?
Contemporary art offers a wide range of possibilities and mediums.
Through over eleven years of studying and practicing Fine Arts, I have acquired a deep love and appreciation for traditional art techniques such as traditional technical painting and drawing, and mixed media sculpting but also enjoyed experimenting with uncountable numbers of other unconventional media integrating them with contemporary languages.
My course will help you improve your skills or learn from scratch how to get drawings, sculptures and paintings according to your goals.

I am an architectural assistant and hold a Masters degree in Architecture. Having a strong passion towards art and human behaviour has led me to shaping haptic spaces to enable a journey full of encounters. I believe our subconsciousness can be expressed through bodily movements that can initiate with the mere moment of grabbing a pencil or a brush. As a result, my class explores the poetry behind art and its essence. My teaching method revolves around finding an individual's inner characteristics and conveying this into an expressive art form.

My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. During my class, different mediums will be tested to ignite creativity.

As a result of my profession, my classes can involve digital design involving Photoshop and Illustrator. It is important to be able to understand both 2D and 3D forms and so, my teaching method can include both aspects.

Step-by-step workshop to create a beautiful animal illustration which will teach your child skills in line pressure, shading, toning, texturising and surface pattern design.

I will demonstrate and guide your child through the drawing process, starting with line pressure and applying simple geometric shapes and intricate patterns and textures to create their own animal illustration.

Have you always wanted to pick up a creative hobby? Do you like creating beautiful things with your hands? Why don't you try out crepe paper flower making? It's a relaxing hobby and you get to decorate your home with your projects or give them as gifts to special ones.

During one session (120 min), you will get to create a small floral arrangement of your choice and take it home in a vase. All materials are provided.

Art is a special medium that can be used in many different forms to elicit one's feelings, emotions, and purview of the world around them both its beauty and ugliness.
My class will be a way for students who either have little to no experience or a lot and create work that resonates with them and o just have fun and enjoy the art world without being held behind ''perfection''.
I will cover many facets of art such as painting (acrylic, oils and mainly water colour) as well as sketching and colouring, as well as photography and how we are able to capture an idea in a photograph.

In this tailor-made Portfolio-preparation course, your child will build his/her own body of work, from research, idea development, and thinking processes, to the final piece of art which helps to prepare for interviews, university admission, or competitions.

In the course, it is full of flexibility and creative processes, your child will develop his/her interpretation of chosen themes and unique personal styles.

I am a Goldsmiths BA Fine art second year. I do paintings and scultings mainly and sculptural paintings. I love to understand and feel the materials and use the materialities' characteristics and histories to symbolise meanings in my work.

My class would be suitable for potential young childrens or teenagers who are interested in art or want to get into art. As art is the language for me, I would love my students to enjoy and show their creativity in my class and I would help them to develop and create actual works in real life.

There would be no pressure in this class I have experice of tutoring 10year old child and he was enjoying every class. He had ADHD and showed ADHD behaviours during class but as a neurodivergent person I gave him a breaks during classes and talked about his interests so I could figure out what he is interested in so I could prepare next class for him and at the same time the kid could had his little refreshment from doing art work. And I had 1:1 meetings with their parents because they wanted to know how it went and how he was behaving so I gave her a lot of feedbacks from my perspective (I did let her know it is from my perspective) .

My dream is to be an artist/ art professor(university tutor) as I also had mental health issues so I am aware of how to deal with people who should I take more care of and also as a neurodivergent person I could deal with neurodivergent students:)

My curriculum would be very personalised by students.

If you are interested leave me a text message:)

Do you want to learn about illustration or how to draw? This course of mine is mainly aimed at beginners who want to learn painting and understand illustration design, and some young painters who have basic knowledge but want to improve. I will teach the basic principles of painting, color, composition, visual effects, the human body, and other interesting and important topics.

I am an RCA MA Painting graduate, and I have a BA(Hons) degree in Fine Art from Westminster University, and a Foundation diploma in Art & Design from the University for the Creative Arts. I am a practicing artist based in London, specializing in painting, and I have been showing my work nationally and internationally. My recent solo show was at Class Reiss London, and I also had a solo presentation at Art Athina. My fascination with tutoring derives from my sensitivity around learning disabilities, something which is a recurring theme in my practice as I grew up as a dyslexic learner, as well as my educational experience of being part of leading academic UK institutions.

Through my work as an art tutor I strive to inspire and support my students, offering insight to my experience as a RCA alumnus and to the professional life of an artist. I teach students of all ages, as I strongly believe that involvement with the arts is always eye opening and revealing, especially when this leads to a career in the arts through higher education.

I can offer art lessons for younger children, involving introduction to creative techniques and idea development, mentoring and support with portfolio preparation to apply for art schools internationally as well as tutoring on contextualizing your work through constructive and generative feedback.

Welcome to "A Realistic Sketching Course You Can Start with Just One Pencil"! This course is designed for artists of all levels who are eager to develop their realistic drawing skills using minimal supplies. With just a single pencil, you'll learn essential techniques to create detailed and lifelike sketches. Our lessons cover fundamental principles such as shading, perspective, and texture, enabling you to transform simple lines into stunning, realistic artwork. Join us and discover the incredible potential of your creativity, starting with the basics and building towards mastery.

Art tutoring classes for a level and GCSE students. Support with technical guidance from a multidisciplinary arts background (sculpture, ceramics, casting, painting, illustration), concept, research and writing to help achieve your full potential in your assessments. I also offer guidance with creating impactful portfolios for university and art foundation applications. I am happy to work online or in my studio space if you’d prefer in person technical support with techniques.
A bit about me: I have BA in fine art and specialise in sculpture and installation, and have explored and still enjoy many other medium throughout my career. I’m really enthusiastic about sharing creative understanding and supporting developing artists. I also have a wide range of interests and inspirations, so if your looking into a topic, chances are myself or one of the artists I’ve worked with has most likely researched it! .

I am an oil pastel lover who turns to this medium again and again — when I’m happy, tired, bored, overwhelmed, or simply longing to be surrounded by colour. Oil pastels have accompanied me through many moments of life, always offering comfort, freedom, and expression.

Every time I paint with oil pastels, I find a sense of relaxation and inner peace — something increasingly precious in our fast-paced world.

Oil pastels are, to me, a truly magical material. They can be firm or soft, bold or delicate, layered or blended. With just your hands and simple tools, they invite both control and spontaneity, making them perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike.

In an age where AI can generate endless images, I believe deeply in preserving the human act of creation — the joy of touching materials, playing with colour, and allowing emotions to flow through the hands. Painting is not just about making images; it is about reconnecting with ourselves.

I believe everyone has the ability to create art. Everyone has their own sense of colour, rhythm, and expression.

**** What you will learn in this class ****
🖼️ Essential oil pastel techniques (layering, blending, texture, and composition)

🎨 Colour combinations and how to develop your own colour language

🖌️ Creative approaches to painting freely and intuitively

🧘 How to use painting and colour as a tool for relaxation, emotional release, and self-care

This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate learners. No prior art experience is required — only curiosity and openness!

**** Materials ****
In-person sessions: All materials are provided, including oil pastels, paper, masking tape, and palette knives. Just bring yourself.
Online sessions: Materials are not provided, but I will guide you in advance on what to prepare and how to use simple and accessible supplies.

In our sessions, we don’t just paint — we explore, connect, and gently listen to our inner world.

I look forward to sharing this colourful, calming, and meaningful journey with you!
