Free artistic drawing workshops for children

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Holder of a Master in Fine Arts from the University of Porto, I am passionate about drawing. With a great experience in illustration, I have collaborated in the development of several children's books and carried out numerous exhibitions in Switzerland, Portugal and Spain.

Having experience teaching at different institutions, I am pleased to offer you drawing lessons in my workshop, dedicated 100% to us little artists!

Drawing is not only a fun activity or a playful occupation to pass the time, but it is also essential for arousing curiosity, helping in cognitive development, motor coordination and improving fine motor coordination.

The practice of drawing, whatever the age of the child, promotes the affirmation of the personality, the development of the imagination and the expression of emotions.

Drawing lessons are also an interesting complement to the art education provided at school and could be an excellent opportunity to strengthen the relationship between art and the child, giving him the opportunity to develop his artistic talent and creative spirit.

Did you know that from the age of 18, babies develop a taste for drawing and start to scribble?

At the end of each class, there will be a small moment of relaxation where you will be invited to talk about your achievements, your difficulties or your opinions. Drawing is much more than a way to communicate!

Photographic Workshop: the black and white portrait
How to best use the light available to bring a face in black and white? How to understand his subject and especially express what we want about this subject? Here are some examples of questions that will be addressed during this workshop at my studio located in Lausanne, Switzerland. This one day Photographic Workshop will allow you to deepen your technical and cultural knowledge on the history of Portrait in Photography. There will be sessions in studio, but also in natural light and collective reflections on the theme of portraiture. By renouncing the information given by color, the black and white portrait becomes abstract, which means that it is brought back to the essential, the gaze concentrating on the subject itself. Everything will be restored by a range of gray The participants are of course invited to take with them some examples of their production during the workshop How the day went: 9h-10h30: presentation and history of the portrait in black and white since the 19th century 10h30-13h: Exlication of my technique of Shooting in studio with practical exercise. 13h-14h: lunch on site not provided 14h-17h: shooting studio and outdoor with collective thoughts on the work of each.

CINEMA, ACTING, IMPROVISATION WORKSHOPS - - -
These sessions allow the development of skills and knowledge of the trade, with the game facing the camera, familiarization with the audiovisual environment and the camera tool, in the art of acting. Your inventiveness and your uniqueness being at the center of your training, it is a question of dwelling on the objective criteria, such as the voice, the use of the body, the relationship with the partner, the capacity to occupy the space. But it is also the singularity and the commitment that are decisive. The objective of this training is to be able to: - Analyze and dissect a text - Create, develop and embody a character - Understand the artistic and technical writings of a film or a play - Create, cultivate and develop one's artistic identity and singularity (...) Through simulations and role-playing, the association between theory and practice makes it possible to achieve its objectives. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions, for which you have asked me, also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). Indeed, they have the advantage of face-to-face sessions (ex: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (ex: the entire session transcribed in writing on the chat). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. - As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round. THE TRAINER From a Grande Ecole post-preparatory class in France & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 14 years in the field, in international establishments, intervening in forums and conferences.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen. I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist. I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Basic Figure Drawing Lesson: The Foundation of Skill Required For Drawing
Figure drawing isn't easy; it requires precision and practice. You must learn the basics of figure drawing to grow your skills. That is why having a strong understanding and practice of your basics is incredibly difficult and important. The basics include the correct method of drawing lines and circles, tips on understanding the anatomically correct proportions of the human body, and the practice of drawing what you see. This is the most challenging aspect of figure drawing, and it requires practice to simply put what you see on paper. It might seem tedious and somewhat useless, but from my experience, it was the foundation I wish someone had taught me. These skills aren't only used for figure drawing, but also for your other drawing endeavors. The class session will entail a step-by-step program based on your performance and progress when accomplishing each skill. I will guide you through a hands-on process to master each lesson. This is meant to curate an environment where you feel accomplished and for you to make mistakes and learn from them.
