Painting works as a different kind of language for kids. In an art lesson, a child learns (according to their age and character) how to use this language better, to express themselves more precisely. Many kids are hiding a great artist inside them, but art lessons are not just for gifted kids. And, although there are many great artists who got inspired by children's drawing, the goal is not to train children as an artists, but help them become more aware of the means of expression that are in their disposal , which will later make them more balanced adults, who are aware of the way art narrates the history of our world.
This is achieved by familiarizing kids with a variety of techniques and artists. Since the lessons are private, there can be a lot of flexibility with that.

About Me
Hello
I am a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts (Integrated master in Fine Arts and art education). This means I am a qualified art teacher, elligible to work in primary and secondary esucational inatiturions in the E.U.
Moreover, I have experience as a volunteer in non-school teaching environments, such as the Greek Childrens' Art Museum.
On June 2024 I graduated from the master Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Arts, the Hague.
I consider teaching as a core element in my artistic practice which makes me think proactively and challenges me in a very positive way. I am grateful for all the students, ķids and adults, I had the chance to teach and I am thankful for all the moments of sharing and expressing through art. Because expression is the most important thing we get out of art.
I hope to delve into more teaching adventures soon!

Contrary to popular belief, realistic drawing will never be outdated, not because of some strange fixation in academic art, but because of its usefulness in a huge variety of tasks that are or are not related to the art field. To me, more than anything, realistic drawing offers an explanation of the world that is somehow shoothing and fulfilling.

Guitar is a very versatile instrument, used in many different genres, including classical music. For me, my journey with it started somewhere in my early childhood, primarily with listening to my mum's playing of folk songs. What amazed me is the power that music has to make people come together and communicate. So at 10, I formally started my individual relationship with the instrument, studying classical guitar, which has given me some of the greatest pleasures in this life, and I hope it will be my source of joy until my dying day. Currently, I am studying Makam music at the Global Music Department of Codarts, Rotterdam. Be it classical, Rebetiko, or any other genre, it is this warmth that I would like to convey to my students, and introduce them to a lifelong friend and companion, who is going to take them to the most interesting places.

I provide teaching in traditional sketching, drawing, painting as well as applied arts and graphic arts like printing or illustration.

Through a custom-made program, learn how to draw and paint, create illustrations and artworks or learn how to improve your creative and artistic process!
With me, you or your children will learn how to find your own style and tools. Get to experiment with different styles – be it realistic, figurative or abstract! – and OR choose to focus on subject and method.

Among the techniques and skills you will be able to learn, there is :

Traditional drawing and painting include knowledges such as : light, shape, line, colour theory, space, composition. You will get to learn through copy of master works and real life observation (still life, landscape, portrait).

A programme of various activities for children and teens is available, focusing on the development of their curiosity, creativity and interpersonal skills. I will work with them on topics that they are interested in while developing a sympathetic, ethical and open-minded approach. They will learn how to see the world differently by using different techniques, materials, recycling elements or going from 2D to 3D works by using sculpture or installation.

For advanced students, I also provide counseling on creative thinking, artistic process and techniques. You will learn how and where to find inspiration, create better artworks through process, art history, composition, rythm, colour theory or experiment.

All programs will be custom-made, adapting techniques, level and themes to the pupil(s). Children can be taught in small groups.

Luz
Hello! My name is Luz. I am a singer, and I teach singing using the Rabine Method and the Alexander Technique. The Rabine Method is a vocal technique and pedagogy, and the Alexander Technique is a method developed to improve posture and the way we use our bodies.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE VOICE:

Singing has been a lifelong passion for me, but I used to be quite shy and introverted. I was afraid to sing in front of others, even though a part of me longed to do so. At the age of 15, I began taking singing lessons to create a safe space for myself to sing, where only my teacher would listen. Slowly, I started performing live and began to truly enjoy it. However, over time, I encountered difficulties with my vocal technique, and my enjoyment of singing faded. After an extensive search for the right teachers to help me overcome these challenges, I discovered the Alexander Technique and the Rabine Method. That's when my journey towards progress and joy truly began.

ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE AND THE RABINE METHOD:

The Alexander Technique teaches people how to reduce general body tension and move in harmony with their body's mechanics, paying close attention to the spine and joints. Within just three months of weekly lessons, I noticed improvements in both my posture and my voice. I came to understand that the vocal system is intricately connected to the entire body, and singing could be a harmonious experience for both my mind and my body. This newfound joy inspired me to help others in the same way, leading me to become an Alexander Technique teacher.

Around the same time, I also discovered the Rabine Method, an exceptional vocal technique with a profound understanding of the phonatory system and a clear pedagogical approach that caters to individual student needs. It is centered on recognizing the unique learning process of each student and determining what they are ready to absorb.

Through my lessons, my goal is to transmit the joy and happiness that singing can bring. I hope my students will learn to focus on the learning process and be surprised by the results. My teaching approach doesn't solely prioritize outcomes; it values the joy of the journey to get there. I firmly believe that everyone can sing because we all possess the same vocal system. The key lies in training and developing awareness of our current abilities so that we can work with what we bring to each lesson.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH STUDENTS:

I have worked with a diverse range of students, including those who:

- Initially struggled to sing in tune but made great improvements in less than a year.
- Were once extremely shy and introverted but experienced a boost in confidence and joy while singing in front of me.
- Were musicians with their own bands but lacked knowledge on how to care for their vocal cords during performances.
- Simply needed a supportive space to unleash their expressiveness and relish their voices.
- Had unpleasant experiences with previous teachers who crashed their confidence.
- Didn ́t like their own sound due to a disorganized technique
