These days photography is present in every aspect of our daily lives. We photograph more pictures than in every past point in history, yet how many of those images are good? Understanding the key elements of photography and camera operation can make all the difference between "just a photo" and a meaningful one.
With an experience of 15 years working as a professional photojournalist, my goal is to pass forward my knowledge and enthusiasm. It takes no more than a few meetings to notice the improvements in your photography.

Who is it for?
- If you are taking your first steps in the world of digital photography.
- If you recently got a new Digital camera and feel lost in the sea of options, configurations, and operations.
- If you just want to get better at taking photos of your next trip or some free time with the children or grandchildren.
I can guide you through the way to make much more from your newly purchased camera or even smartphone,
from the basic steps of the operation to the point you will be able to take beautiful and creative images.

why draw, how to draw?

- in a world where everyone can take photos with their cell phone, why still draw?

- Is drawing an attempt to capture reality or is it a tool to comment on it?

The lessons are an invitation for beginners and advanced learners to try out various practical techniques and discuss the results.

When it comes to drawing, one of the biggest obstacles is letting go of self-criticism and just starting and working. We will deal precisely with this difficulty. We will learn through extraordinary exercises how to simply train the hands and at the same time suspend the critical mind.

Later, we will focus on observing the drawings and try to understand the mystery of what works and what doesn't.

Lessons are offered for both beginners and advanced learners. Let me know what you would like to improve about your work. what do you find interesting?
all ages are welcome!

My name is Oded, I am originally from Israel. After 6 years of studying, I completed my studies at the UdK in 2019. In recent years I have participated in several exhibitions and residency programs.
My main artworks are films, watercolor paintings and comics.
Teaching is a very important task for me.

Movement can be funny, so can you or not. You chose or not. Being funny can be learned as being expressive.

I have studied Lecoq Technique(Pantomime, Tragedy, Drama, Mask Theater, Clown) and Decroux (Mime Corporel). These are physical theater approaches. I am passionate about moving the body in space and the effect it brings. Finding the humor in the physicality and rhythm delightens my everyday life and I am happy to share the fun.

How I usually schedule my class:
Arriving in the body and space/Physical warm-up
Technical Training
Play

I am very open to adjust to your needs, if you have an idea what you want, tell me and we do it. I can also help you with your performance or when you are a circus artist and want to level up your acting skill.

art is a way of knowing the world for me. My course is based on observation and motivation, and an individual approach helps everyone feel like a creator. In addition to practical skills, I am also well versed in art history. Visiting museums and cultural events becomes part of the educational course

Hi
I'm Delfina, I'm a stained glass artist and would love to teach you how to create anything you can imagine with glass.
I personally dedicate myself to working with glass and pressed flowers and leaves for beautiful frames and jewelry but we can also build terrariums, glass boxes or anything that sparks your imagination

I have all the supplies at home so all you would need is an active mind and some creativity, if you then find that you enjoy creating with glass I can help you find the right tools so that you can make stained glass at home.

Illustration, traditional drawing and digital art course. This course focuses on the search for a personal language or the student's style, in which different techniques and styles, both traditional and digital, will be worked on to help the student find a language with which they feel comfortable and make it their own.
All this through traditional techniques as well as digital ones, such as Photoshop, Zbrush, Cinema 4D, Illustrator, etc.
Specifically, we have extensive experience in using Photoshop.

In addition, advice can be provided on specific projects to be developed, graphic narration, conception of ideas and concepts about a project, development of characters, unification of style of a long project.

The idea of this course is the search and focus of the student's personal language through references and the exploration of different techniques until reaching their own unique language.

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.

If you’re looking for fun, engaging, comprehensive guidance for your creative project or process, you’re in the right place. We can tailor the course to your particular desired outcome 🎨

Creativity is an extension of play, and creativity flows best in an encouraging, relaxed, and fun environment, so that is a priority to me in my approach to these lessons. I want to guide you in the practical aspects but also provide dynamic support (the creative process is not always straightforward!)

I have a BA in Illustration, 3 years experience teaching a comics class for kids aged 6+, and 10 years as a professional working artist specialising in narrative and comic illustration.

Suggested topics include: basic drawing, and using tools, style, colour, movement, composition, writing, character design, anatomy drawing, storyboarding, and lettering.

Let’s connect!

Watercolor is a fascinating technique, but it can be demanding and often feels unpredictable. In these in-studio classes, we will approach watercolor as a relationship between water, pigment, and paper. You will learn to predict and control the medium—and, once you've mastered that, to use it more spontaneously.

I teach a solid, step-by-step method to build a watercolor painting from the ground up. We will explore a range of techniques (working on dry paper, on wet paper, glazing (velatura), creating textures, etc.) as well as brushstroke fundamentals. Along the way, I'll share practical suggestions and tips I've gathered from my own teachers and years of practice.

The class focuses on the technical aspects of watercolor: controlling the medium and consciously achieving the desired figuration. It is through this deep, hands-on knowledge that a more expressive dimension of the practice can naturally emerge.

We will cover key topics such as values, temperature (warm-cold contrast), and color theory.

This class is open to both beginners and advanced painters who wish to refine their technique. A basic foundation in drawing is highly recommended for the initial sketch. Each lesson includes all necessary supply materials.

I offer private, personalized art sessions for children and teenagers in Berlin, designed to nurture creativity, confidence, and emotional expression in a calm and supportive environment.

With a Master of Arts in Textile Design and experience teaching creative workshops at private schools, I bring both artistic expertise and a sensitive, intuitive approach to working with young people.

My work is centered around creating a calm, secure and attentive environment where children and teenagers can express themselves freely and confidently. I combine artistic knowledge with an approach that respects each child’s individuality and emotional rhythm.

I provide a safe and inspiring space for drawing, painting, storytelling, and open-ended creative exploration. Alongside artistic development, the focus is on strengthening focus, patience, emotional awareness, and self-trust through the creative process.

Each session is tailored with care to the personality, interests, and developmental needs of the child or teenager. Trust is always the foundation of my work, as creativity unfolds naturally when a young person feels safe, understood, and at ease.

Sessions take place in the family’s home, allowing the child to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment.

✨ I work with a limited number of families to ensure a consistent, attentive, and highly individualized approach.

Open to travel upon request.
