Hand sketching: An exceptional tool to express and represent - Renens - Private lessons

Hand sketching: An exceptional tool to express and represent

From 64.29 C$ /h

This class is for people wanting to step into the world of hand sketching and painting. Hand sketching is a powerful tool for not only architects and designers but also for someone wanting to capture their imagination and vision together. I have experimented with diverse drawing and sketching tools like ink, soft pastels, water colour, pencil shading etc over last five years and have realised close relationships between what is being sketched and the tools used. I also have knowledge about various perspective drawings and have been engaged in urban-scape sketching for quite some time.
The classes can be held indoors as well as outdoors for live sketching sessions.

This class is for people wanting to explore their abilities in the field of sketching and painting and hence will be modified and designed for each individual differently based on their interests and ambitions.

Extra information

The sketching tools are not a part of the course price.

Who has never dreamed of being able to approach his movie star, his favorite cartoon or cartoon character? Do you want to see the characters in your imagination take shape on a sheet of paper?

I suggest that students draw the characters they like (Walt Disney Characters, Pixar, Manga, comics, actor, footballer, singer, etc.) or create a character according to a theme (example: football-> a footballer, a trainer , a supporter, / bakery -> a baker, a personified cupcake, animated). For those who prefer and love animals, I suggest drawing animals from a photo that they like (example: a rabbit), to make the same animal, but so cartoon or cartoon (example: Bugs bunny or Judy in Zootopie), then to create a board of expression with this character, to draw him to laugh, to cry, to be surprised, angry, etc. As techniques, I provide the gray pencils and colors, as well as TOUCH twin marker pens.

Having experience teaching at different institutions, I am pleased to offer you drawing lessons in my workshop, dedicated 100% to us little artists!

Drawing is not only a fun activity or a playful occupation to pass the time, but it is also essential for arousing curiosity, helping in cognitive development, motor coordination and improving fine motor coordination.

The practice of drawing, whatever the age of the child, promotes the affirmation of the personality, the development of the imagination and the expression of emotions.

Drawing lessons are also an interesting complement to the art education provided at school and could be an excellent opportunity to strengthen the relationship between art and the child, giving him the opportunity to develop his artistic talent and creative spirit.

Did you know that from the age of 18, babies develop a taste for drawing and start to scribble?

Competition in the world of architecture is tough and teamwork is crucial.
I thus offer my coaching services in order to accompany you in pushing the limits of architectural practice.

With a wealth of experience in BIM, architectural competitions and international achievements, I support you in many areas related to project and architecture.
