Art Classes. Creative development or learning English through creative play

I can teach observational art, on location where we draw and paint landscapes, developing colour theory and different types of construction, perspective and mark making. I can also offer more abstract exploration, where we may start with a concept or an image as a starting point and create a more imaginative work from it. This process often includes creating a collage from which the student may be inspired to create a more surreal piece through abstraction. Alternatively, the student could suggest an idea they have been interested in, e.g. a story or news piece they read and I can guide them in the ways in which they may use their artistic process to develop this idea into a piece.

I can also offer teaching English through creative play; using imagery as an aid to developing the language.

About Me

Teaching for me is fundamental to being an artist. To be an artist is to be part of a community of creation. I hope to share this creativity with others and learn from them through their unique expression. I have skills to share but I believe it is only to help others express their unique voice rather than imposing one prescriptive way in which anyone 'should' make art.

I have been teaching drawing classes weekly for four years now, in Dublin and now Athens, and hope only to expand my teaching practice.

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.

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. CONTACT / PROGRAM A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.

Icon painting with egg tempera, individual classes, historical technique
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 9 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 nimbs. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

Mastering Painting & Drawing Techniques with Art History Insights
"Immerse yourself in the world of fine arts with a class designed to build technical skill and artistic understanding! As a fine arts graduate specializing in painting, I bring hands-on expertise in pencil drawing, watercolor, acrylic, and pastels. In addition to practical techniques, we’ll explore key movements in art history, providing context and inspiration to deepen your creative work. This class is ideal for beginners eager to learn foundational skills and for more experienced artists looking to refine their techniques while gaining historical insights. Together, we’ll work through form, color theory, and composition, enhancing your skills and understanding of art. Join me to explore the rich tradition of fine arts through practice and study!" My Teaching Style: I believe every artist has their own voice, and my goal is to bring that voice to life. Each lesson begins with a foundational exercise tailored to your level—whether it’s exploring shading techniques, experimenting with color, or working on brush control. I guide you through practical demonstrations and then provide you the space to create freely with constructive feedback to support your growth. Alongside technique, I introduce art history elements to spark ideas and show how art can reflect your personal expression. Let’s work together to refine your skills, build confidence, and bring your artistic vision to life!"

Relate to Place. Exploring my Locality. A contemporary art practice class.
This class will support you to explore your local area. You will do this by foot and your learning and study will depend on what you encounter in your local area. Harnessing and expressing your growing knowledge will be done creatively in a mode that you enjoy most - drawing or writing or photography or a combination of both. We will look at ways to dig deeper into our locality and follow what interests us most. This is a contemporary art practice class that will tap into geography and history.
