Play and Experiment through Art — lessons for children and teenagers

From 58.32 C$ /h

Artistic experimentation is an integral part of exploring oneself and the surrounding environment.
This programme has been carefully curated alongside young artists over the course of six years and integrates different forms of visual expression such as : sculpture, installation, performance, drawing, painting and many more.
We explore unexpected parallels in art history and visual techniques, building up a wide range of artistic references and technical knowledge in a playful environment in order to explore the sensitivity of our own bodies, thoughts and the world around us.
Although the programme is compiled both with genre, technique and art history in mind, there is always space for adaptation according to the preferences and visual tastes of the student.

If you have ever wanted to learn how to draw a beautiful art piece, sketch freely, understand how to translate what's in your head to paper, look no further!
I can help you out with guidance, tips, exercises that will help you lose the fear of the pencil and paper and start creating great pieces of artwork yourself!
And if you are already someone that's brave and draws as a hobby but would like to improve on their skills, I offer some extra tips and resources for you to get your skills to the next level!

Interested? Let's make some art!!

Art is a great way to express your feelings and is a great life skill. It allows you to see life from a different perspective and it makes you feel alive. Art has always been an important part of human society since the beginning of time. Art has been used as a tool for cultural exchange, education, and expression.
I've finished an art college and it is a big part of my life. I am happy to share my skills and experience with others who have an interest in art. I have an experience in working with children, but I'm also happy to teach adults.

Many of us love to paint either our emotions or the beauty we find in the nature.

The beloved ones in our life as portraits, the dear items we treasure as still-life, and the peace we find in landscape.

I teach painting techniques, that I develop from traditional painting, oil to water based mediums- acrylic and oil paint, tempera and mix media, depends on your interest I can guild you with developing your skills and finding your expression.

Art is our gift to understand ourselves and create a space for our mind to explore what is meaningful for us.

I am grateful to have you in my artistic career to share my knowledge and the light in our artwork.

Hi! I'm Julia, a Fine Art student at HKU, and I love helping kids explore their creativity through art. I offer fun, personalised art classes for children aged 4-13, where they can experiment, express themselves, and develop their artistic skills in a relaxed and supportive environment.

I grew up in Asia and the UK, so I'm fluent in both Dutch and English-meaning I can also mix in some language tutoring if that's something you'd like!
I've worked with kids for years including two years as an art teacher at Hampstead School of Art in London and as a painting instructor at Timberlake Summer Camp in the US.
I truly believe that creativity is one of the most valuable things to nurture from a young age. My own love for art started in childhood art classes, and I’d to love to help spark that same excitement!

Lesson format: Let me know what your child is interested in, and we can create a lesson plan that fits them perfectly!
