Student of Architecture in Paris and graduate of a License in Building and Urbanism, I give this course with the objective of helping anyone to make the designs, 2D and 3D plans of buildings or for any architectural and urbanistic project. My goal is to advance the learner without overloading it. I give exercises to do alone after each lesson.

This course is for anyone wanting to learn how to draw buildings and for all building professionals, ie architects, building engineers, building technicians, construction and architecture students.

In this course you will learn how to make plans of mass, situation, distribution, sections, perspective sections, axonometries, facades, etc.

You will learn a variety of things that will be useful in your future design work.

No worries for beginners, I'm here to coach you as I learned;)

Graduate of a Master in Cartooning from the Art University of Soureh, Tehran, Iran, currently I am a student in L3 Arts and Image Technologies from Paris 8 University.
Already worked for 7 years in the world of animation as a 2D animator and motion designer, I like to share my knowledge and experience.
Free classes according to the needs of the student. We can work with traditional and digital techniques. These courses are aimed at both children and young people. My classes will be adapted to the needs of each student. With me, your children will learn the basics of animation and the artistic references needed to make their own films from the first class.

Exploration throughout the sounds of musical journey. My main intention is to dive deep inside of the inner comprehensions of the sound and feelings when the fingers touch the keys of the instrument. I would love to share my more than 10 year music experience to see how diverse and beautiful the world of music is.

Dear dancers, welcome!

Do you love dance and want to improve your technical and artistic skills? I am here to help you surpass yourself! ;) Professional dancer, choreographer and teacher, I am creative, empathic, dynamic, and versatile.

Holder of a Bachelor's degree in contemporary dance and creation of multidisciplinary performances from the Iceland University of the Arts, a Master 2 in Art Research & International Creation from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, I am an artist member of the International Dance Council at UNESCO.
Since 2020, I have been engaged in academic research on medical and spiritual dance whose practice is called Transcendental Dance (Transcendental Embodiment).

My professional experience extends internationally where I had the opportunity to work alongside various renowned companies and to organize internships in France, Iceland, Sweden, Mexico, Czech Republic, Spain, Turkey and Asia. Also, I had the opportunity to dance for haute couture houses during Fashion Week in Paris.

I teach contemporary dance, technical floorwork (floor work), contact dance and classical dance. My classes focus on mindfulness, musicality, harmonization of energy flows, improvisation, muscle strengthening and coaching in choreographic composition for competitions, exams, galas, and weddings.

I remain at your disposal for any information.
See you soon,
Tiffany

A nine-hour online workshop to explore your creativity and experiment with artistic techniques

This workshop, suitable for all audiences, is designed to experiment with and explore artistic techniques. The results will surprise you.

Any technique is an excuse to play, to break the rules, and to experiment. We should feel free to try without worrying about the final outcome. As an advocate of the creative process, I believe that the goal is not the result itself but rather an element we sometimes discover midway.

Unleash your unconscious and flow throughout the process, which, on this occasion, is more important than the final result. We will enjoy the journey because it is the only thing that truly matters.

In this workshop, we will express ourselves freely, release blockages, overcome fear to enhance our creative potential. We will also learn to break and discard the work we've done. And, of course, to have fun.

I am offering private Maths and Arts lessons (in English) to elementary level .

I have a recognised B.E.d degree in primary education and a teacher certificate.
I have previously worked as a teacher in several primary schools and few years private tutoring experiences.
I am equipped with instructing skills and communication skills. I am a friendly, patient and caring teacher.

Looking forward to hearing from you and teach you!

Being bilingual in English and French, I offer specialized courses in Literature, Art and Art History. With an immersive and personalized approach, my courses aim to deepen your knowledge in these disciplines while perfecting your language skills. Of all levels.
Classes can take place online or at home, with flexible schedules.

Learning to draw or paint is not just about "reproducing well," but more importantly, about developing creativity. My classes emphasize developing the imagination while incorporating a rich and relevant knowledge of art history. Students thus improve both their technical drawing skills and their deeper understanding of art.

I offer to help and guide you in your 2D Animation or Motion Design projects; I can also help you master software such as Animate, After Effects, Photoshop, ToonBoom, or even on tablets with Procreate and Procreate Dreams or Alight Motion!
I am also able to encourage you to progress in your relationship with drawing, or even introduce your children to artistic awakening!

PS: Regarding the classes, it is also possible to arrange a meeting point halfway, in order to work in a cafe or other coworking space!
