CANVAS OF BEING: Class 1 Understanding Art Therapy and Creating the First Canvas of Life.

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 12 C$ /h

"My art therapy classes are a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your creativity and discover new forms of expression. I call them "Canvases of Being," and through various artistic techniques, such as painting, drawing, collage, and sculpture, I will invite you to immerse yourself in a journey of self-discovery and emotional healing.

In a relaxed, non-judgmental environment, I will guide you through channeling your emotions, thoughts, and life experiences into unique, personally meaningful works of art. Each session will be an opportunity to let your imagination flow, release tension, and discover new perspectives.

No prior art experience is required, as the main focus is on the creative process and authentic expression. We'll learn basic techniques together, but the most important aspect will be the inner journey we'll undertake through art. These sessions are ideal for those seeking a therapeutic and enriching way to manage stress, overcome emotional challenges, boost self-esteem, and discover new facets of themselves. They will be an oasis of tranquility and personal growth in a busy world.

I invite you to join this wonderful journey of healing and self-discovery through the transformative power of art. Prepare to be amazed by your own creations and to connect with your inner self in a profound and revealing way!

As a future participant in my work sessions, I'm sharing some additional information you should consider. Be sure to read it carefully and see if it resonates with you.

1) Willingness to explore and express yourself: Art therapy involves opening yourself up to new experiences and allowing emotions to flow through the creative process. I ask that you, as a participant, come with an open mind and no fear of doing all kinds of activities. You are a great artist, and I don't want any doubts about that. :D

2) Respect and confidentiality: Since we will be working on personal and emotional issues, it is important to establish an environment of mutual respect and confidentiality, and I hope you maintain the privacy of what is shared during the sessions and if you would like someone to accompany you, you can let me know before starting.

3) Commitment and Regular Attendance: Art therapy is a gradual process, so a commitment to regular session attendance is recommended for best results. Ideally, you should complete the initial eight sessions, which address the Self-Confidence aspect. But it will always be your decision that truly matters.

4) Basic materials: These sessions require basic items such as a sketchbook, pencils, scissors, crayons, watercolors, paintbrushes, clippings, skeins of colored thread, pastel crayons, and anything else you can think of that allows your creativity to flow.

5) Comfortable clothing: During the sessions, it is necessary to get rid of all stiffness, which is why it is ideal to wear the most comfortable clothing possible and that you do not run the risk of injury if any splashes arise.

Dare to be the best artist. The illustrator of your new way of seeing life.

About Me

"Permítanme presentarme de una manera un poco distinta a lo convencional. Soy un apasionado del arte en todas sus formas, un enamorado de los pinceles, las texturas y los colores vibrantes. Pero no solo eso, también soy un dedicado educador con más de 14 años de trayectoria formando mentes jóvenes.

Imaginen por un momento un lienzo en blanco, listo para ser llenado de vida. Así es como veo a cada uno de mis estudiantes, como obras maestras en potencia, esperando ser guiadas para descubrir su propio estilo y dejar fluir su creatividad sin límites.

Mi formación como orientador educativo me ha permitido comprender las complejidades de la mente humana y las diferentes formas en que aprendemos y nos expresamos. Pero ha sido mi pasión por el diseño gráfico, la tecnología educativa y, sobre todo, la expresión plástica, lo que realmente me ha dado las herramientas para ayudar a mis estudiantes a encontrar su voz artística única.

A lo largo de mi carrera, he tenido el privilegio de sumergirme en el fascinante mundo de la educación a distancia, explorando nuevas formas de llevar el conocimiento y la inspiración más allá de las aulas tradicionales. Pero siempre, sin importar el medio, mi objetivo ha sido el mismo: despertar la chispa creativa que todos llevamos dentro.

Así que les invito a unirse a mí en este apasionante viaje de autodescubrimiento a través del arte. Juntos, crearemos, experimentaremos y nos dejaremos llevar por la magia del proceso creativo. Porque, al fin y al cabo, ¿no es eso lo que realmente importa? Dejar una huella indeleble en el lienzo de la vida, una obra maestra hecha a mano, corazón y alma."

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.

This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.

► Learn to know your intimate and sexual desires, deepen them, assume them and perceive their meaning, while being aware of your own limits and those of your partner, understand your blockages in order to overcome them, take advantage of the approach socio-cognitive of sexual desire, better integrate the functioning of one's partner, integrate tools / techniques / methods / know-how / key phrases to take pleasure while leaving it to spontaneity & naturalness, improve the link between affectivity and sexual intimacy but also communication with your partner, play (...): these are examples of the objectives of these personalized sessions, in order to ultimately improve your intimate and sexual satisfaction, accompanied by a mediator specialized.

➤ Together, step by step, it's about getting to know each other better (through your past experience, what you like or appreciate the least about yourself / about the other), by analyzing situations in a thorough and pragmatic way. Indeed, this step is essential in order not to orient towards / "tackle" a pre-established model, but to adapt to each situation.

➤ In parallel, from the first session, once the key points are better understood / assimilated, and the objectives gradually defined, tackle, based on your daily life / your experience, the art of sexuality and its subtleties, while valuing the complexity of sexuality and not its complications.

► My mission: to help you understand, analyze, discover and discover yourself to better enjoy yourself, while gaining self-confidence & acting in order to no longer be limited by your beliefs.

➤ If the discretion and confidentiality of the coach are essential, it is therefore a question of offering a tailor-made program / training, following an initial 'diagnosis'.

► These sessions can, for example, deal with how to regain confidence and make you reconnect with a complex but not complicated, subtle but not tangled sexuality, in short fulfilled while understanding the key elements of your own psychology and that of your partner (... ). But also how to strengthen your sexual charisma to unlock your potential and take pleasure.

➤ Objective here again: to introduce concrete techniques / methods which make it possible to communicate easily, in a fluid, efficient and always natural way, while mastering situations.

➤ Non-verbal language, sexualization and avoidance of the friend zone (...): the objective being to demystify these themes in theory and in practice.

➤ Coaching is based on precise questioning techniques, helping the person being supported to find a solution to a problem. At the end of each session, the coachee will master new ways of thinking, actions to accomplish and will have better motivation. Depending on the clients' expectations, the coach can suggest other approaches.

➤ So what do the first individual coaching sessions look like? First, a first exploratory contact during which your expectations are examined, the nature of the request and the context are evaluated, a 'diagnosis' is discussed, taking into account your difficulties, your needs, your objective.
Then, it is a question of developing a precise procedure and proposing lines of work. A relationship of trust is gradually established through a benevolent alchemy, where listening, empathy and the absence of judgment are central.

➤ Thus, after having carried out together an initial assessment of the situation, a kind of inventory, it is a question of determining the objectives to be reached, the feelings and the questions related to the situation as well as proposing actions to achieve your goal, resolve constraining situations that stand in your way, using tools that will be offered to you according to your situation to get out of your comfort zone and change your perspective.

➤ The guide then asks questions aimed at exploring solutions aimed at achieving the objective, through experiments and exercises. Through various tools (drawing, role playing, metaphor, visualization, etc.), this questioning helps to change perspective, get out of an impasse in order to explore various options that you might not have thought of. this way, based on tools and experience. For example, it could be a new way of thinking about difficulties or another approach to identifying and considering resolving conflicts or a progression in terms of personal development or in terms of a career focusing always on the development of personal resources and self-knowledge.
At the start of the next meeting, the coachee begins with a summary of the activations and the evolution of the state from the last meeting. This step makes it possible to have an evaluation of the positive points and those which are less so in order to readjust the set strategy.

➤ Concretely, ONE SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the next session in order to overcome blockages or improve self-knowledge.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

If you think drawing is difficult or you've been trying for a while and aren't improving, the problem isn't your talent: Nobody has taught you how to make it easy, fun, and less frustrating.

In my classes I welcome students of all levels, from beginners to advanced. I also teach in English.

I use a method based on the student's goals and needs. It doesn't matter if it's just a hobby or if you want something more professional. The structure adapts perfectly to what you're looking for and can change throughout the course.

My goal isn't just for you to learn, but for you to have fun while you improve. We'll learn using your favorite series, comics, and webtoons. No boring exercises, just drawing. We'll analyze the work of the artists you admire, and you'll learn the tricks that real professionals use.

You will learn: Manga/Anime, Comics, Narrative, Illustration, Drawing, Digital and Traditional Art, Character and Environment Design, Anatomy, Landscapes.

Shall we learn together?

How do you move from making individual artworks to developing a practice that feels genuinely your own?

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of international experience. In these individual mentoring sessions, I work with artists and creative people who want to develop a more personal artistic language, deepen their ideas, or reconnect with a practice that has become stuck or uncertain.

Rather than teaching a particular style or giving you formulas to follow, we look closely at what already interests you: recurring images, materials, questions, experiences, contradictions and ways of thinking. From there, we explore how these elements can become part of a stronger and more individual body of work.

Our sessions may involve discussion of your current work, experimentation, sketchbooks, writing, research, contemporary art and art history, as well as artists, writers and thinkers relevant to the questions emerging from your practice.

We can work on questions such as: What makes your work yours? Which ideas are worth pursuing? How can you develop a concept without simply illustrating it? How can research become part of the work? How do you recognise and move beyond habits, imitation or creative blocks?

This mentoring is suitable for people who want more than technical instruction and are interested in developing an independent, thoughtful and sustainable creative practice.

Sessions are available in English or Portuguese and are shaped around each person's interests, work and creative process.

Hello,

Still a 5th year student in 2D animation film creation, I offer to teach you how to create your own universe through the creation of your character(s) as well as in the development of environments in which this/these same character(s) could be animated.

These courses are accessible regardless of your drawing level.

Want to bring your ideas to life, create a unique character or imagine a captivating environment? My drawing classes are tailored above all to your desires and objectives.

Whether you are a beginner or already experienced, the course content is fully customizable according to your level and the areas you wish to explore in greater depth.

Do you want to focus primarily on character creation? We can explore their design together and develop your ideas.

Do you prefer to delve deeper into the creation of environments and universes? The course can be geared towards this in order to allow you to work specifically on what interests you.

And if you simply want to discover both aspects, I also offer a discovery course, combining character and environment creation to offer you a complete first approach to creating a universe.

Here, the course adapts to you, not the other way around. Together, we build a learning experience that truly matches your desires and progress.
