About Me

Artist, videographer and musician, I was trained in Besançon and Paris (France) in a multi-disciplinary way. I believe in an education based on self-fulfillment and non-elitist. I believe that the best way to surpass oneself is to know one's abilities to better develop them by being formed in a relationship of mutual trust.

Violin lessons (for beginners or intermediate level)

49.99 C$ /h

Graduated from the Regional Conservatory of Greater Besançon (France), I followed a very varied theoretical and practical training in Conservatory for 15 years.
I propose a course related to the practice of the violin, but am able within the framework of the teaching to pass if necessary by more theoretical courses of music theory or history of music to reinforce the knowledge allowing a better musicality.
I am very serious in my work and wish to give the most complete and advanced learning that adapts to the needs of each student.
I also want to work in a mutual trust because I believe that learning music is better when it values the skills of each.

Homework Help and General Culture Course (Beginner and Intermediate)

49.99 C$ /h

I propose a homework course punctuated with general notions related to Francophone culture (literary, historical, artistic). I believe that a strong cultural base can strengthen skills in a more sustainable way. Indeed, multi-disciplinary training allows a more global understanding of the world. Our school system, which is too sectorized, lacks a foundation of General Culture and I believe that this will enable future citizens to adapt better to the realities of the labor market. This course is based primarily on an assessment of skills and gaps to build an exchange based on trust and student appreciation.

Photoshop is an image processing software. Assimilate the methods of acquiring external images in Photoshop, as well as the links. Learn how to sort and mark the images to be processed.

Photoshop for photographers, the subject is as vast as the fields of application of this fascinating profession! Let us guide you and make you discover or rediscover some theoretical bases that will better understand how Photoshop works in all versions.

Take in hand Bridge and Camera Raw, which, by the way, have nothing to envy to Photoshop when it comes to organizing, viewing, selecting and processing large quantities of images.

Finally enter Photoshop by the photographic door by adapting it to your needs, by appropriating it and understanding its philosophy. What is a layer, what is a mask? I take you to the heart of Photoshop and showcases situations specific to the photography professions during which you will be free to apply the knowledge acquired.

I teach in such a way as to fully respect everyone's desires and inspirations: art must remain personal and exciting. Each lesson is adapted to the student(s). It can be both academic courses (technique and mastery of different materials), as well as reflection on the challenges of art, or even the development of a personal project...

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.

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

Photography allows us to look at the world differently and to express ourselves without using our most common means of communication: words. My teaching method is simple: first, we identify together what you are looking for. Are you new to photography? Let's cover the basics of settings, photography theory, and get some inspiration before we hit the field. Want to hone your skills? I can offer you valuable advice on taking photos. And I can also push you to your limits with more intense methods, such as the challenge of 500 photos per week, which will allow you to learn very quickly.

Note: ALL SUPPLIES & TOOLS ARE PROVIDED FOR THE STUDENTS FOR THE FIRST TEN (10) LESSONS — All canvas, stretcher-bars, panels, paper, brushes, pens, pencils, ink, charcoal, paints, varnish, etc. The finished artworks are, of course, your to keep.

There are many ways to create a so-called "realistic" oil painting. And there are many visual tools that an artist can use to make a beautiful visual statement. Whether using thick impastos, thin washes of solvent-based color, bodied glazes, or mixed media elements, each technique can yield an engaging visual experience. Painting is, after all, a means of communication.

In this course, we will begin with the basic ideas and techniques for drawing and painting forms as the eye sees them. You will learn every stage for producing aesthetically pleasing and technically strong oil paintings. We will discuss concepts and ideas for painting, developing different studies, stretching the canvas, line drawing, tonal lay-in, dead-coloring (or color block-in), and modeling the forms (1st painting, 2nd painting, and finishing). We will also cover the techniques of alla prima or premier coup (direct painting in one pass). We will also study the formal methods of composition, different kinds of perspectives, paint surface and paint quality (facture), and proportions. And, of course, we will discuss the use of varnishes, including the final picture varnish.

Stay calm and confident if some of these terms are new to you. We will adapt the lessons for each artist. I will help you to learn, understand, and perform each step of the painting process.

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced painter: there is something for you!
