Performance Art (and Performance Studies)

From 41.66 C$ /h

The class is meant for those who wish to enter the world of performance art - an experimental art form that originated in the 1960s in the United States. My intention with the lessons is to teach a student how to begin an independent artistic practice as a performance artist through practical exercises, readings, and analysis of performances (on photos, video and in events we would visit together).

The basic theory and history of performance art are introduced so the student can get oriented in the respective art context. If desired, the class can go deeper in theory with the readings from the related field of Performance Studies. While performance ART is an artistic field, performance STUDIES is wider academic discipline working with the notion of performance not only in art but also in the sports, rituals, play, every day, sex, technology, business and elsewhere.

I base the class on my years-long artistic, theoretical and curatorial practices and on my education in the field (BA in Site-Specific Performance, ongoing MA in Live Art and Performance Studies, BA in General Art Studies).

Private Painting and Drawing lessons, any level! I am a classically trained painter, I have been painting seriously for 20 years and studied intensively in Florence, Italy. I will teach you the basics about light, form, line, colour and space, and how to constantly grow and improve. We start with drawing from observation and continue to other mediums, including oil paint, once the student is ready.

Landscape, still life, portrait, expressive. My goal is to help my students improve every time and reach a new level. I provide many examples from art history as well as my own work, and give lots of demonstrations. I offer a personalized approach fitted to each student.

The classes are in a small group format, no more than 4 at a time and each student works at their own pace, it is private classes with other students present, offering a supportive environment in which to learn and grow. Each student receives personalized instruction at their own level. Each student is guaranteed to improve.

I ask for a commitment of 5 lessons at a time to see some improvement, and I accept students who are looking for longer term learning. Commitment is a must to grow! Try out one lesson to see if the class is a good for for you. My students tend to stay with me for the long term, if it is the right fit.

The classes take place in my studio in the charming location of Grand Hospice, a converted hospice in the city center of Brussels.

Graduated from a Bac +3 in Art History and a Bac + 3 in History, I want to share my knowledge and my enthusiasm for art history.

I offer dynamic lessons adapted to each student to arouse their interest, ensure their learning and success in the subject. As with any art historian, the key is to start from images and other types of artistic productions to see all that they tell us (and all that they sometimes hide from us!)

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.

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.

Graduated with a CUM LAUDE distinction and great Honours from a master's program in Global Archaeology at Leiden University, where I achieved an 8.6/10 for my thesis on "Human Brain Evolution." This research develops a theory combining archaeology, biology and neurology, and reveals how ancient populations' brain development are influenced by environmental factors and material objects.

My educational background includes a Pre-master program in Archaeology at Leiden University, graduated with an 8.2/10, and a Bachelor's degree in History of Art and Archaeology, graduated with Honours. These programs have equipped me with strong analytical, synthesizing, and research skills.
I am actively seeking a position in archaeology, heritage management, museums, or other cultural institutions that will allow me to consolidate and further develop my research and synthesis skills. Combining my rigorous academic training with diverse hands-on experiences, I bring a well-rounded skill set and a passion for uncovering, understanding and sharing the knowledge of the past.

Beyond academia, I excel in teamwork, adaptability, and multitasking, gained through leading group projects and managing extracurricular activities. Fluent in French and English (C1), with a working knowledge of Spanish, I find joy in tutoring students in various subjects. Additionally, I possess organizational skills from managing Phorin, an artist's platform.

Want to learn how to draw portraits that look almost like a photograph? I can help you start with the base, the sketching, and how to blend using both colored pencils and graphite pencils. Also using pens, both ink and Bic.

If you need help for your GCSE or A-level portfolio, I will be able to assist you and guide you on getting a high grade. (Coming from someone who got an A*). I will make sure you pass your exam and get a high grade.

For kids, they will create different crafts that they could bring home and hang up on their wall. I will teach them fun ways to be creative, and every time they come in for a class, they will leave with something new.
