Creatively Productive: The Ultimate Guide to Turning Your Ideas into Artworks
course price icon
Von 19 $ /Std
arrow icon
Creativity is an integral part of creating successful art pieces. Another crucial factor in the artistic process is having productivity skills that enable you to actually complete your pieces on time. I've designed this course to help artists and creatives steer clear of the black hole that a lack of motivation and doomscrolling can lead us down, offering some hope and optimism.

You'll learn how to integrate your creative projects into your schedule in a way that's not only fun but also highly productive, ensuring you don't deplete your energy levels by 5 pm. Get ready to be engaged and excited about your creative journey!

With each class, you get:
A copy of the presentation I presented to you, in case you wanted to look at it again on your own.
A Google Doc with even more information about the topic we discussed that day, in case you are curious about more details regarding the topic we discussed.
A video summary of the lesson, in case you need a refresher.

Hope to see a request from you soon :)

Über mich
Hi, I’m Caroline, a sophomore at SUNY Old Westbury, deeply passionate about creativity. I'm a double-major in English and Visual Arts, with minors in Visual Arts and Media & Design, and I'm currently working on a microcredential in the Foundations of Creative Writing. As an illustrator, writer, editor, photographer, and videographer, I thrive on adding creativity in unexpected places.

Significant milestones have marked my journey in the creative arts. I have honed my skills in photography and photo editing, working with a range of tools, from phones to DSLR cameras, and platforms such as Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. The recognition from the Huntington Camera Club for my past work is a testament to my dedication. I also bring extensive experience in writing and illustration, with a current project of writing my first book.

My mission as a teacher on this platform is not just to impart knowledge, but to foster a community of creativity. I aim to share my creative knowledge with others and to inspire more human creativity in a world where automation is on the rise. Let's come together and share our creativity. :)

Photography is essential in our day-to-day lives, especially given that we have a camera in our pockets at all times. From capturing significant events, photos of yourself, or even taking pictures of delicious coffees you order. It is essential nowadays that you can take clean, crisp images on your very own smartphone. I've created this course to help you create professional-looking photos, all taken and edited on your phones.

You'll learn how to take pictures at certain angles, the different modes you can use on your phone to take photos, the various kinds of photography you can achieve, and how to edit high-quality images, all with the default apps.

With each class, you get:
A copy of the presentation I presented to you, in case you wanted to look at it again on your own.
A Google Doc with even more information about the topic we discussed that day, in case you are curious about more details regarding the topic we discussed.

Anita
My name is Anita, and I am a neurodivergent interdisciplinary artist.

I combine traditional and unconventional teaching methods with an innovative approach, adapted to the fast-paced era we live in, where attention spans can be short. My teaching integrates principles of psychology to better understand each student’s unique needs and aspirations.

My goal is to nurture visionary children who have strong foundational values and a humble sense of self. I believe that true artistic mastery comes from human excellence. Also, in this way, students develop true self-confidence by evaluating their success based on personal progress rather than comparing themselves to others.

This course is especially recommended for neurodivergent children (with Autism Level 1 - Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, OCD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Hypersensitivity, and Anxiety) with multiple interests who struggle to choose, focus on, and manage various subjects. It helps develop both technique and discipline, enabling them to navigate multiple creative fields—essentially putting their eggs in several baskets while honing the skills necessary for diverse career opportunities in an uncertain job market.


The program encourages a generalist mindset, promoting versatility without compromising creative integrity. Students will learn to refine their Zoom In/Zoom Out perspective, gaining the ability to see both the bigger picture and the finer details of any subject. The program's structure guides the individuals through three essential phases:

Exploration Phase–Presentations, visual games, and foundational lessons introduce students to various disciplines, helping them discover their interests.
Development Phase–They start defining their creative goals, practicing their skills, and trying out various artistic approaches.
Mastery Phase - With a clear direction, students focus on long-term goals, whether as brand-focused professionals, university students, or future educators.

Disciplines covered include architecture, painting, illustration, concept design (especially for gaming), traditional animation, digital art, children's book illustration, film, creative writing, and music (the art of songwriting).


A Purposeful, Transparent Approach

I work closely with each student, providing honest yet supportive evaluations to help identify their strengths. My goal is to guide serious and passionate learners and not to mislead families into unnecessary expenses. I strive to be straightforward in a respectful and encouraging manner, communicating if a child may not be suited for this path.

A Valuable Investment in Thinking & Creativity

Even if a student ultimately chooses a non-artistic career, this course fosters critical and creative thinking, which are essential skills for any field. The knowledge gained here is never wasted; it’s an investment in adaptability, innovation, and problem-solving abilities that transcend the arts.


PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Course & Workshop – Studio Art & Theory Sessions (60–180 min)

■ First Session – A Complimentary Introduction

The first session offers an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin building a collaborative relationship.

■ Online classes

They will primarily focus on theory and presentation or homework/portfolio reviews. Each session lasts 30-40 minutes, followed by 15-20 minutes for questions and answers. These sessions are recorded, allowing students to revisit the content whenever they wish, ensuring long-term access to valuable insights. Throughout the course, we track progress, examining both strengths and areas for growth.

■ Progress Evaluation and Personalized Feedback

• Monthly Evaluation Files
An evaluation file will be provided each month, summarizing the child’s progress, highlighting what they have learned, and identifying areas to improve. This file is printed, and the child will need a designated folder to store these evaluations.

• Personality Profiling
A personalized profile will be created for each student, outlining their traits, preferences, and potential areas for exploration. Together, we will set small, temporary goals to work toward a larger, more defined purpose. This profile will be revisited and updated annually to reflect the student's growth and changing needs during their developmental phase.

■ Parent Support Program

A structured, phased program is designed specifically for parents, with regular updates (every 3 months) that outline:

• Exploration Phase: Discovering interests and potentials.
• Clarification Phase: Understanding immediate goals for the upcoming weeks.
• Commitment Phase: Focusing on long-term pursuits over several months. This modular approach ensures that the program evolves with the child’s development without overwhelming families with an all-at-once structure.

■ Rewards and Additional Activities

Students earn symbolic rewards for their achievements, reflecting various aspects of their learning journey. Additionally, upon mutual agreement, I can offer post-session baking workshops (or on weekends) with healthy recipes and customized meal options (taking into account specific dietary needs or intolerances), reinforcing the importance of self-care and nutrition.

■ Homework and Scheduling

Homework will be personalized to fit the student’s schedule, considering both school and extracurricular activities, as well as their personal productivity style. Some of them may be more analytical and observant, while others are naturally more productive. I believe that productivity can bloom at any stage, and my goal is to avoid a “factory mindset.” Reflective moments are as crucial as those focused on tangible output.

■ Recommendations

I offer customized recommendations for books, movies, documentaries, artists, and art styles, ensuring that each resource is tailored to the student's personal interests and developmental stage to maximize engagement and understanding.

■ Introducing Rhetorics and Dialectics (friendly definitions for complex topics - included in Commitment Phase)

Rhetorics, particularly oratory, along with dialectics (the art of argumentation), are essential tools for expressing ideas clearly and persuasively. These skills are important not only in speech and writing but also in visual arts. They help create overall coherence by ensuring that every element of a project—whether it’s a painting, sculpture, or multimedia presentation—conveys a well-structured message.

■ Special Focus: Empowering Neurodiverse Learners

In my teaching practice, I place a strong emphasis on engaging neurodiverse children through a range of visual and auditory games that stimulate multiple areas of intelligence. These activities include:

• Pattern Recognition: Exercises that encourage students to identify and predict patterns, sharpening their analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Visual and Auditory Memory Games: Interactive tasks designed to boost both visual and auditory memory, ensuring that information is effectively retained.
• Synesthetic Activities: Creative exercises that blend sensory experiences—such as pairing colors with sounds—to enhance perceptual awareness.
• Multiple Intelligences: Tailored tasks that address various types of intelligence, including spatial, logical, musical, kinesthetic, and interpersonal skills.

■ A Personal Touch on Wellbeing

Understanding the importance of nutrition, I offer healthy, ready-to-eat meals for students who might miss a meal before or after school. Drawing from my experiences with nutritional challenges during adolescence, I know how important it is to support overall well-being. This small gesture is part of my commitment to care for the whole individual—mind, body, and spirit—ensuring no one is left hungry while pursuing their creative and academic goals.
