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.

Here's a safe space to create, to get messy with paints, to bring out your inner child in colours! If art has always pulled you but you don't know where to start, this is for you. If you want to learn to appreciate and create, if you are looking to learn technique or simply to find a creative outlet, to feel destressed and joyful, this is for you.

Each class is tailor-made based on the needs and level the student is at. I teach all age-groups. There is no one-size-fits-all in art learning, and this class values your creative uniqueness. I work with the student to develop both technical and aesthetic aspects of art. From sketching, to painting, using various media including pencil, charcoal, pastel, water colours, acrylic and oil, you can learn it all in my classes.

Join my class to unfold the wings of your imagination, to find the freedom of an unbarred creative space, that challenges you to fly while gently guiding you in the right direction. Currently, I am open to both online and offline classes. If you want to expand your creative horizons with a professional's guidance, don't hesitate to drop a message!

I was talking to a colleague of mine and we were working as art teachers and she asked me, “Doesn’t it happen to you sometimes that you draw something and you can’t make a resemblance between it and your drawing?” I answered her with utmost confidence, “Of course not, the amateur artist is the one who makes mistakes once and gets it right the other time, while the professional can make a resemblance every time he draws.” It was clear on her face that she didn’t like my answer… What made me confident in myself to say these words, and before that the words were actually able to achieve them, is my practice of the theory of measurements and angles, to which I attribute the credit, after God, for making me a professional.

Now, what if I told you that someone had a talent for drawing and turned it into a set of steps that you could understand and implement? Do you know what that means? It means that anyone can draw, not just the talented. Let me explain in more detail. The theory of measurements and angles is a theory whose mission is to analyze the mental processes that take place in the artist’s mind, which enable him to draw, and turn them into steps. This means that this theory can make you draw even if you do not have any talent... Yes, as you read, this theory consists of three rules that anyone can understand and then make the necessary effort to apply what they understand. As a result, their well-deserved reward will be to have the ability to draw anything, even if they originally lack talent, so what if you have the talent and just want to hone it?

However, it is important to note that this theory is not suitable for someone looking for an easy or quick method that relies on some tricks. Rather, it was designed to help people who are willing to put in the time and effort required to achieve their desired goal, which is to build a solid skill for a professional person who is confident that every time he wants to draw something, he will succeed in doing so.

Important note: This course consists of seven lectures and the total course time is one hour and twenty-four minutes.

Important note: I will send the links to the video lessons to the student. After the student finishes watching and applying, he will send his drawing to me. I will make a video of critique and correction, and then send the video to him.
