Art Lessons and History of Art for Children and Young people

From 68 C$ /h

Art classes

These classes focus on developing the skills to produce artworks utilising diverse media. The techniques I teach are drawing, painting, sculpture, and engraving, as well as mixed media, where students experiment a combination of techniques and materials, such as photomontage, xilocollage, building of sculptures with non-conventional objects, etc.

Art appreciation & Art History

I use a combination of techniques for Art Appreciation and Art History classes. Some are based on the Visual Thinking Strategies method and guided enquiry, as well as on my background in drama to relate to artworks with all the senses and the emotions. Similarly, my guided observation works on helping students identify and understand compositional principles.
The aim of these classes is to get learners thinking about what they see and what it could mean. This can be done with any sort of image.
This type of approach is particularly important nowadays that human culture has become eminently visual. And students extract enormous joy by sharing and discussing their ideas.

About Me

I am a creative educator and artist working in museums and charities, as well as a performer and actress teaching and working in Cambridge and London, UK.

My work in museums has been varied, and it ranges from exhibition producer and co-curator, tour guide, facilitator, to project manager and programmer. If you don’t find me doing at least one of those things, you’ll for sure find me facilitating a workshop or performing in a show.

I enjoy designing and delivering enthralling and original learning experiences in various formats and suited to different learning styles. I also take pleasure in leading cultural projects to success and devising unique engagement programmes.
I also teach and perform aerial circus as well as physical theatre. I particularly like taking part in and developing ground-breaking performances on topics as diverse and relevant as climate change and gender identity. Finally, I also do photography and digital editing.

As you can see, I am as eager about managing and producing behind the scenes, as I am about being centre stage. I am incredibly passionate about the arts, and I love sharing my enthusiasm, knowledge and creativity with everyone. I cannot wait to share this with you!

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.

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 offer personal online lessons in art history and visual culture for students, beginners and curious adult learners. My teaching style is conversational, supportive and adapted to your interests or study goals.

Together, we can explore the classical canon of art history, analyse individual artworks, prepare for exams or essays, or focus on a specific artist, period or movement. I place strong emphasis on understanding artworks through the context of their time, historical thinking and different ways of interpretation, including approaches inspired by the Vienna School of Art History.

I have around 10 years of teaching experience and currently teach visual culture and art history at secondary school level. My goal is to help you look at art with more confidence, curiosity and depth.

Tie and dye is an ancient global form of art that originated independently across various cultures, with the earliest examples dating back to the 5th–8th century AD in China, Japan, Peru, and India. Known as a form of "resist dyeing," it involves binding or folding fabric to prevent dye from reaching certain areas. In the Southwestern area of Nigeria it is called - "ADIRE".

Every Art has its history - “Nothing exists without an origin”

Adire is more than just a textile; it's a reflection of Nigeria’s civilization and culture. Each design is a testament to the rich heritage of our culture and nation.

Do you struggle to identify styles, artists, and works? Do you feel overwhelmed by the number of dates, movements, and characteristics to memorize? I will help you study Art History in a clear, visual, and understandable way, placing the works within their historical, cultural, and social context.

I offer private Art History lessons for high school and university students, as well as support for students who need to reinforce knowledge related to art, culture and the Humanities.

My goal is not for you to memorize a list of styles and characteristics, but rather to learn to observe a work of art, identify its main elements, analyze it, and relate it to its era and context. In this way, the study of art becomes meaningful, and it becomes much easier to remember and understand the material.

How can I help you?
Art History for High School.
Support in university subjects related to Art History and Humanities.
Exam preparation and subject recovery.
Study and understanding of the main artistic styles and movements.
Architecture, sculpture and painting.
Analysis and commentary on works of art.
Identification of characteristics, authors, periods and styles.
Preparation of comments and image analysis.
Historical, cultural and social contextualization of the works.
Organization of extensive syllabi and study techniques.
Preparation of academic papers and presentations.

I hold a degree in Humanities, with a broad and multidisciplinary background in History, Philosophy, Art, Culture, and Thought. I also have a teaching degree and teaching experience, which allows me to adapt both the content and the way I explain it to the level and needs of each student.

My background in the humanities allows me to approach art not as an isolated succession of works and styles, but as an expression of each society and each era. We will understand what is represented, how it is represented, and, above all, why it is done in that way.

Are you developing an art portfolio, preparing an application, or trying to understand where to take your artistic practice next?

I am a professional visual artist with more than 30 years of international experience in exhibitions, residencies, research and teaching. I offer individual mentoring for students, emerging artists and established practitioners who want to develop a stronger, more coherent and personal body of work.

Sessions can focus on portfolio development, selecting and editing work, developing concepts, identifying recurring interests, strengthening your artistic voice, researching references, writing about your work and preparing applications for art schools, BA/BFA and MFA programmes, residencies, grants, exhibitions and other professional opportunities.

We can also work together if you feel stuck, disconnected from your practice or unsure how to move from isolated works or ideas toward a meaningful body of work.

My approach combines close discussion of your work with contemporary art, art history, critical references and practical strategies. I do not impose a particular style or aesthetic. The aim is to help you understand what is already distinctive in your work and develop it with greater clarity, depth and confidence.

Mentoring is available in English or Portuguese and is adapted to your individual goals and stage of development.
