Art and Design - explore new techniques, theoretical ideas and ways of thinking.

From 27 £ /h

1 to 1 Art lessons.

I aim to broaden the students knowledge of artistic techniques, introducing them to new styles and artists and resolving this through experimentation. I will always sketch out ideas during conversation to make the concepts more transparent. I will provide a digital booklet for them to fill out their intentions and I will add comments as to what I think could help their explorations, they will also be able to grade their outputs and compare this with my feedback. Self reflection and critique is always a great way of analysing one's artistic outputs.

About Me

*Over 250 hours of face to face online teaching experience. DBS checked.*

I am currently studying my third year of BA (Hons) Architecture at the Manchester School of Architecture. Educated in an annually UK top 10 ranked independent school, I have a wealth of experience in 11 plus as well as generic secondary school education.

Exams were intense but most certainly enjoyable. I learnt to not doubt myself, achieving 11 A*s at GCSE by enhancing the rigour of my understanding through iterative learning. It isn't all about cramming in facts the day before an exam! I have tutored multiple school colleagues in younger years in varied subjects.

My lessons will address the required outputs of the syllabus through conversation and demonstration, understanding examples and then individually tackling relevant past paper questions. I will provide a digital booklet for students to fill out their intentions I will add feedback and examples for exploration.

I have over three years’ experience in the Humanitarian Sector (Education) - here I have refined methods of visual teaching. I have coordinated art sessions for people of all ages, from primary school children to the elderly with dementia. This has taught me the essence of adaptability within teaching. I am bilingual from birth and have taught several one to one spoken GCSE and A-Level Spanish sessions.

I am a commissioned artist.

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.

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.

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Photoshop is a powerful app for photographers. As a photographer, you’ll need to be able to sort through the many complex features that will help make photos better. I’ve designed this course as a practical guide to Photoshop that’s specifically made for learning photographers.

You will learn how to make selections, create masks, retouching portraits and use advanced techniques to not only improve photographs, but to turn them into entirely new images.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

After three years of studies in applied arts (decorative arts and design), two years of preparatory studies in art and design, and two years of art school, I offer my services to teach art and design through courses and workshops.
These cover a wide range of topics, from art therapy to learning artistic methods, including building a portfolio for admission to art school.

The workshop teaches participants how to create selfmade painting and drawing materials from natural pigments and colours (vegetables, plants, soils etc.) and different painting and drawing techniques with these natural colors (watercolour, oil painting, crayon drawing etc.). The workshop has two parts: First, we will experiment together with different ways to craft our own colours from natural ingredients. Then, artworks on paper or canvas will be created.

Hi, I'm Thaís from Brasil :) I teach with patience and a personalized approach, focusing on each student’s specific challenges. I draw and paint alongside my students, making the learning process clearer, more accessible, and more engaging. My classes use dynamic methods and explore a wide range of drawing and painting techniques, including color studies, sketching, scale, depth, light and shadow, and perspective.

I work with simple and effective methods that sharpen visual perception and develop a deeper understanding of color, form, and texture. My goal is to help students build confidence in their creative abilities, even if they already have basic skills, are complete beginners or aspiring professionals.

Class content (fundaments):

Introduction to essential materials.
Perception of shapes and basic structures.
Proportion and shading studies.
Perspective techniques.
Creation of artistic compositions.

conversation +

Conversation + is a new conversation based format that combines grammar, syntax, understanding vocabulary and expressions as well as the practice of correct pronunciation and intonation with the reading of a text of your choosing. On the basis of a selected text the conversation evolves around the topics at hand; parallel to this, we discuss anything language-related that comes up. Any question, any problem can be addressed. In this way, linguistic issues can be explored in greater depth, based on your specific field(s) of interest. This fosters a stronger engagement, promotes enthusiasm, and openness that oftentimes fall short in a classic language course situation.

Fields of interest include

literature - we read a book, poem, short-story, etc
philosophy - we read german philosophy in the original, or secondary work on the subject
art - texts concerning art, theater, music etc.
science - scientific articles, specialized literature about science
politics - newspaper articles, essays, etc.
contemporary culture - articles, esssays, etc.

Modeling isn't just about being professional; it's about learning to understand your body and posture. It's about knowing your best angles when taking photos of yourself, how to look your best in pictures, and how to handle heels—not just for special occasions, but as your go-to footwear, walking in them with confidence and poise.
