Sketch? Drawing a model? Painting with oil, watercolor or acrylic paint? I am happy to help you with this. I challenge you and I support you to develop your skills step by step, adapted to your level, into a fully-fledged work of art. We start with basic techniques, shadows, proportions, then we can make still lifes, portraits and even compositions.
I work as a museum teacher in various museums, including The Rembrandt House and the Hermitage. I am involved in a broad educational offer for various groups and individuals: from students in groups 4, 5 and 6 to gymnasium students and adults interested in culture and history. On the basis of various museum pieces I give different workshops, lessons, interactive tours at different understanding levels.

About Me
“Tell me and I will forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I will learn” Confucius
I master the knowledge and didactics to provide an enriching experience with my lessons and workshops and the students and adults. Developing creative skills and learning to look and think critically are central to my tours and workshops. The starting point of the conversation is always the pupil's perception of the world, with the emphasis on: discovering, experiencing, discussing and creating. It's not about filling a barrel, it's about lighting a fire

Do you want to learn Armenian (Հայերեն) in a short time? Here I am. I help you to speak, read and write Armenian as Armenians do. My classes are for people who want to learn Armenian for work or go to Armenia for vacation but also for children and adults of Armenian descent who want to learn their mother tongue. Discover how fun, quick and easy learning Armenian can be and how I really motivate you to learn every day. No grammatical knowledge is required. You can start learning right away!
I make a tailor-made plan with the students and parents. I look at both the personal growth and development that the student needs.

If you are reading this, it's not too late...you are in good hands:)
Especially if you 're (going to prepare/ preparing) a portfolio for art/design school application.

"Learning by making"
From drawing, oil painting to creative thinking training through materiality.
Each age is special and different visual styles can be worked upon and the outcomes can often be surprisingly authentic. Those anticipations are the basis of each class. My classes are designed through collaborations when it comes to experimentations or intersected fields and mediums, which is an option and pertinent characteristic of approach.

Classes are applicable to students who are 16+ of all levels .
Personal Portfolio Class:
If you are considering applying for art school or design school, you might want to prepare yourself and build a convincing portfolio, perhaps improve your presentation skill or even some confidence boost for interviews.
We will first explore what talents you already have and those you will want/need to have, the goal is to help you develop your creativity and curiosity as well as your artistic skills and most importantly find out your inner talent for a direction that will suit you, whether in education or self-development. And we will do a live rehearsal for your interview for the best presentation result and confidence boost. Overall, It'll help you cultivate the soft and hard skills you need to be more confident setting and resetting expectations, strengthening relationships, and taking your projects across the finish line without any cold sweat.

For teenagers: are highly encouraged to experiment with different materials and techniques and preferably through themes - selected by me or the student's likings as well. We will also look at specific Artists and Painters, as well as specific Art History periods, and the kids will then be encouraged to play around and recreate their own version of the Artist or period. Needless to say that class do not necessarily mean free-time activity, the academic material is intentionally or not(unconsciously) always a present element of my instructive performance. Therefore, the game becomes a teaching/learning relation, whilst teaching and learning turn into a recreational joyful moment for all participants.

In this unique lesson series, led by Naomi Mitsuko Makkelie, you will explore the powerful connection between art and psychology. With Naomi's academic background in both visual arts and psychology, she offers an in-depth perspective on how painting can serve as a therapeutic medium. This course is designed for individuals of all ages and skill levels who are interested in using painting and drawing as a means of personal development and healing.

These classes focus on intuitive painting, a technique that encourages participants to explore their subconscious feelings, memories, and even unresolved traumas. Through this expressive art form, participants are given the opportunity to explore and express their inner world in a non-verbal manner, opening a unique path to healing and self-discovery.

What You Can Expect

Guidance from an expert in both Art and Psychology: Naomi guides participants through the process of intuitive painting, offering techniques that help bring the subconscious to the surface.
A Supportive Environment: Each participant is encouraged to work at their own pace and explore their personal experiences.
Personal Development: The focus is on the process, not the end product. Participants learn how to use art as a form of self-care and self-expression.
Therapeutic Techniques: In addition to painting techniques, exercises will be introduced that focus on mindfulness and strengthening the mind-body connection.


Location: Treehouse NDSM, Amsterdam, or location chosen by the student.
For Who?: Suitable for adults, children and teenagers.
Duration: Best results are determined when the course involves multiple sessions (exact number and dates to be determined), but a single session is also possible.
Materials: All necessary materials are provided. Participants are encouraged to bring personal items that can serve as inspiration.

By approaching art as a means of self-exploration and healing, Naomi offers a unique opportunity to grow both as an artist and an individual. These classes are more than an art course; it is a journey into the heart of your own creative and emotional landscape.
