    Academic and Contemporary Art, Portfolio preparation

    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!

MY COMPETENCIES I have trained in art therapy, relaxation and stress management techniques, and transactional analysis and possess a diploma as a Montessori teacher. I have been an art therapist for 10 years, working in schools, institutions and private homes. I support children and adults. Currently, I am developing my activity in my private studio in Saint-Jean in Geneva. I also possess a bachelor in science (Swiss engineering school) in the field of multimedia, as well as a DAS in visual communication.

    Leana
    Intermediate Drawing Course and Beginner Experienced Student
    Hello, Being certified of the ECG in the Visual Arts section and having followed the majority of my schooling in this field, I wish to give drawing lessons to those who wish to improve in this field. I offer courses of all kinds, according to the desires and the level of each one. I can teach you the techniques of sketching, observation and reporting in 2D and 3D, notions of perspectives, light and shadow, proportions like those of the human body, etc. I want to give my lessons in a feeling of sharing knowledge acquired during my studies, moving away as far as possible from a school atmosphere. In my opinion, it is more pleasant to learn the specifics of drawing this way. Of course, I am happy to adapt to the demands and expectations of my students. Do not hesitate to contact me for any additional information. Good day to you Leana
