I propose a basic rudimentary Photoshop course to be able to retouch photos, basic use, tools etc.
Same for the software Indesign, for the layout of documents, books etc.

I can also be an interior designer doing an apprenticeship and specialization course of Rhino and Archicad.

Playing didgeridoo, the traditional instrument of Australian Aborigines, is fun and relaxation. I teach how to make clean and nice drone, circular breathing, basic and advanced rhythms, song composition, and build of sets.

I have two instruments which you can use at the lesson.

In this course, you will learn how to scan any object using Reality Capture software.

In this course, you will be able to learn:

-How to take suitable photos
-How to prepare these photos for their use in the software
-How to use these photos to reconstruct an object in 3D and apply a realistic texture to it

Gradually, we will solidify these skills to learn how to build a library of highly realistic objects based on high resolution scans.

It is also possible to present your projects to me and to obtain personalized help on them.

Good day!
I am an artist and teacher with over 12 years of experience.

If you have long wanted to start doing art or just to understand it and did not know where to start, I would be happy to be your guide to this wonderful world!

I teach academic drawing and painting and the basics of composition for any level of training. In drawing I emphasize constructive drawing, the development of plasticity, and knowledge of anatomy and perspective. We will learn different materials from pencil and charcoal to oil. In the summer we will practice working with landscape in the open air.

If you are interested in contemporary art, we will study modern techniques, working with modern materials, and the theory and philosophy of contemporary art.

I can help you prepare a portfolio for art school admissions.
I work with students from the age of 13 upwards
Classes are held at the student's home in Geneva and the surrounding area. Theoretical classes are available online.
Classes are held in English and Russian.

Feel free to write me if you have any additional questions!
See you soon!

This class is for aspiring graphic design and art students that would like to enter an art&design school in Switzerland. I will teach you the basics of the composition, colour, editorial, how to approach the design brief, and also how to use the main tools (Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator). I am currently a secon-year graphic design student at the Geneva school of art&design.

Whether your interest revolves around photography, graphics or any form of visual creation, the concept, the overall vision of the project is often difficult to implement. I offer you a follow-up, a sharing of ideas tailored to your current project, as a starting point or in re-mastering.

My technical skills can also be allies in our discussions so that you can push your creative subject beyond its limits, make it grow and find the most appropriate end point for the message you wish to convey.

You are on a mandate but need an external point of view, this course can be a good step back to move forward with more confidence.

As a qualified interior designer, I offer hand drawing and sketching classes for all levels. Drawing is an essential skill in my profession, but it's also a passion I've cultivated since childhood.
With my experience in architecture and design, I can help you improve your graphic design skills or develop a new artistic hobby. My classes are personalized and can cover several aspects: proportions, perspective, composition, color, speed drawing, and, above all, confidence in your technique.
Whether you're a beginner, a student, or an amateur artist, I adapt to your needs and pace. Lessons can also be tailored for children to encourage their creativity, develop their observational skills, and enhance their artistic abilities in a fun and progressive way.
In-person classes in Geneva. Feel free to book an initial class to create a personalized program together!
