Translated by GoogleSee original

From 31 C$ /h

Teaching through lectures and discussions accompanied by representative images from different periods of art history. We will discuss the composition of images, the main characteristics of different movements and styles, the meaning behind their iconography, and the historical context in which they emerged. We will discuss the history of Western art from antiquity to the present day. We won't limit ourselves to Europe! We will also discuss pre-Columbian and American art. My class is aimed at anyone interested in learning about art history, whether for personal enrichment or as a supplement to a school course.

About Me

I'm a recent visual arts graduate from one of Colombia's most prestigious universities. I graduated with honors, specializing in graphic arts, art history, and photography. I'm passionate about the history of images, as understanding the trajectory of the visual world is crucial to my work as a graphic artist. For me, historical images represent countless references, but they also offer a key to conveying messages through codes we've used for centuries. Art history is a tool for understanding the thinking of a particular era because, ultimately, people paint what they think and what they know. So, what better way to understand the world that came before us than through its own images? I love feeling like an explorer uncovering the mysteries of the past every time I analyze an image to understand its symbolism and the artist's choices. Will you join me on this journey?

Passionate about history, I am at your disposal for any help you would need to organize and study your EDM / geography / human sciences courses. Focusing on efficiency, I make sure that the study relies as much as possible on current events in order to make it alive and relevant. All seriously, but always in a good mood.

I offer classes on History, Geography, and Political Science, with over 11 years of experience in these subjects, both professionally and academically. I hold Bachelor's Degrees in both History and Political Science (from the University of Florida), as well as a Master's in Political Science, specifically European Politics (from KU Leuven).

I have extensive experience in a wide range of historical and political subjects and have always had a keen interest in history and the social sciences. Additionally, previously I have been a journalist (dealing with Competition Law) and currently am an editor working on a wide variety of subjects for organizations such as the UNHCR and Goethe Institut, among others.

I am capable of teaching and lecturing on numerous historical and political events and periods in history, with myself having specialized in European history, American history, African history, as well as the Medieval period and Antiquity.

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

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.

Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. 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.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

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.

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 :)

The authenticity of an exchange. In a society increasingly rooted in a competitive approach, where automated exchanges with Artificial Intelligence cannot replace the need for human interaction, this is precisely what we lack.
As a lawyer by training and an independent legal consultant, creating the Right is a breath of fresh air. This tutoring service is aimed directly at high school students who need to overcome any difficulties in studying the following subjects: French, Mathematics, Science, Philosophy, History, and Languages (English and Spanish).

Moreover, being currently preparing for the entrance exam to the National School of Magistrates and passionate about the beauty of multidisciplinary learning, the school program is being reviewed extremely regularly.

🎓 It is now necessary to elaborate somewhat on my experience:
4 years already dedicated to private lessons (which is significant) via the organization Complétude as well as independently (Law, French, Mathematics, Sciences, History and Languages), and this at all levels (primary, middle school, high school, university students and adults).

Regarding my teaching experience in legal subjects, I invite you to consult my other course offering dedicated to this subject and also published on Apprentus.

👋 What about my teaching approach, you might ask?
Beyond this desire for authenticity, it seems particularly crucial to dismantle the prejudices that poison the perception of students experiencing difficulties. To ensure the smooth running of this course and to help high school students feel as comfortable as possible, it is important to remember that the foundation of all conversation and understanding remains listening. Listening to one's equal, regardless of age.

💬 Wouldn't you be interested?
Please feel free to contact me by message and I remain available to discuss the frequency of classes and their modalities (in-person in Tours, videoconference and possibility of travel if necessary).

In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen of the high school system, it would be a real pleasure for me to support you as best I can on your path to success because, as its name suggests: you all have the Right to Knowledge! 😉

Learn digital sculpture with ZBrush through an artistic and practical approach.

These lessons are designed for artists who want to learn how to create characters, creatures, figures and original designs in 3D, whether your goal is concept art, character development, digital art or 3D printing.

Rather than simply learning software tools, we will focus on the artistic decisions behind a successful sculpture: form, anatomy, proportions, silhouette, shapes, design and how to translate an idea into a convincing 3D piece.

Depending on your goals and experience, we can work on:

• Digital sculpting fundamentals and ZBrush workflow
• Human anatomy and figure sculpture
• Character and creature design
• Developing an idea or concept into a 3D sculpture
• Creating interesting shapes, silhouettes and visual details
• Improving an existing sculpture or portfolio piece
• Preparing a sculpture for 3D printing when relevant
• Presenting your work through lighting and rendering

The lessons can be adapted to beginners who are completely new to digital sculpture, as well as more experienced artists who want feedback and guidance to improve their work.

You can also bring your own character, concept or ongoing sculpture and we can develop it together during the lesson.
