ARTS - FROM CLASSICAL DRAWING ALL THROUGH MATERIALITY
The practical insight has been developed throughout enduring studies from 2 different institutional perspectives inspired the urge to convey this to the art enthusiasts of all levels and age. Each age is special within the education similarly all targets pointed from the creative spirits creating thus various anticipations. Those anticipations are the basis of each class. My classes are designed through collaborations when it comes to experimentations or intersected fields and mediums, which is an option and pertinent characteristic of approach.
However the one who lasts for foundation and aspires him/her the concept of taking it further to possible academic preparation will grab charcoals, a spoke, the required papers, instal from simple to complex still life compositions and set forth the journey of academic drawing theory. And then, of course, start with colour, of both acrylic and oil medium.
Pre-school children, children and teenagers are highly encouraged to experiment with different materials and techniques and preferably through themes - selected by me or the student's likings as well. Needless to say that suchlike classes do not necessarily mean free-time activity, the academic material is intentionally or not(unconsciously) always a present element of my instructive performance. Therefore, the game becomes teaching/learning relation, whilst teaching and learning turn into a recreational joyful moment for all participants.
The aforementioned forms of classes are applicable to all ages.

About Me
I’m 30 years old visual artist from the Mediterranean situated Island of Cyprus. I have three years of work experience in various positions. I inherently possess a spontaneous keen on behavioural observation/investigation, evolving thus, profoundly knowledge likewise wisdom over the concept of natural life, human senses and patterns in alive, lifeless and artificial matters. I’m also very much involved with psychology and art as art therapy.Methodologies I rather feel compatibility with for teaching are primarily defined by theme-based classes engaging then multifarious directions and the students' interest in an alternative way. I am referring to a teaching platform where underlies my inherent knowledge and personal interests in disparate fields such as nature, physics, sound, movement, social science, culture, and spirituality. Artistic skills are by default the main concern but not necessarily pertinent to strict result-focused evaluation. The technique is one of the subsidiary domains which will be passed across in the most enjoyable yet intriguing way possible inasmuch sensory and perception stimulation exist in arts the principal target. I aim to change the general young perspective towards artistic disciplines through various and more compelling pathways. The students need to perceive those few creative hours as their opportunity to experiment, through areas which also are declared (after discovering from an introductory or monthly conversation) by them the most appealing. Ultimately, it will rather be a collaboration amongst the teacher and the student, in order to achieve an optimum fluent, friendly and foremost comfortable to sit in class.
Education
Specialized in painting.Possessing a Master degree of Fine Arts from HKU University of the Arts Utrecht (Research-Based). Finalized in 2016.
BA Visual and Applied Arts with specialization in Painting in 2013
Experience / Qualifications
Coming from a loyal to academic art discipline, that is, the fundamentals of drawing(body anatomy, still life, landscapes etc), painting, engraving/printing of Greek education, I can safely claim that my background can be a significant contribution to art education. I have a wide experience with various materials, whereas experimentation and giving value to unordinary, not mundane artistic tools and mediums is notably an emerging element of my personal practice as a freelancing artist. Seemingly goes with my knowledge in art history likewise which dates from early Renaissance to 21st-century Modern pioneers.Specialized in painting on the premise of possessing a Master degree in research-based Fine Arts from HKU University of the Arts Utrecht, which lays under the Western European Institutional system I arguably developed the great ability to instruct, work, discourse, collaborate and counsel a range of mentalities and cultures. Working for different local -yet comprised of multicultural staff- organisations also played a role in the cultivation of flexible trait and interaction with students and people in general.

Art & Creativity: From basic skills to elaborating narrativesI am a multidisciplinary artist and designer with fifteen years of experience. I studied art and architecture at the École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and the Columbia University in New York. I teach painting, drawing, digital image and creativity. This class is ideal for beginners but also intermediate students who want to develop their own style.
For my personal projects, I work in a wide range of mediums, from drawing, painting and printmaking to digital image and 3D Printing. When teaching, I prefer to first focus on free-hand drawing and painting as this allows for greater spontaneity regardless of the student's technical level. We later explore other methods based on the student's individual interests. I like to teach children and adults via mini projects involving art history references and help them develop narratives around their work. I deeply believe in people's creative potential and in my classes will help you channel your own voice.

I'm Mia, your future private art tutor if you're interested!
I'm a visual artist working across different mediums, from more classical forms like drawing and painting to multimedia practices such as video and performance.

Here are three class options to start with:
Sketching and Drawing
Learn the basics of observational drawing and graphic composition. We can focus on a specific subject or go on walks to observe and draw what we see in our surroundings.
Video
An introduction to video basics and editing software. We’ll explore how to use cameras in a raw, intuitive way and understand the logic behind lighting and other technical tools.

From drawing, oil painting to creative thinking training through materiality.
Each age is special and different visual styles can be worked upon and the outcomes can often be surprisingly authentic. Those anticipations are the basis of each class. My classes are designed through collaborations when it comes to experimentations or intersected fields and mediums, which is an option and pertinent characteristic of approach.
Classes are applicable to students who are 16+ of all levels .
Personal Portfolio Class:
If you are considering applying for art school or design school, you might want to prepare yourself and build a convincing portfolio, perhaps improve your presentation skill or even some confidence boost for interviews.
We will first explore what talents you already have and those you will want/need to have, the goal is to help you develop your creativity and curiosity as well as your artistic skills and most importantly find out your inner talent for a direction that will suit you, whether in education or self-development. And we will do a live rehearsal for your interview for the best presentation result and confidence boost. Overall, It'll help you cultivate the soft and hard skills you need to be more confident setting and resetting expectations, strengthening relationships, and taking your projects across the finish line without any cold sweat.
For teenagers: are highly encouraged to experiment with different materials and techniques and preferably through themes - selected by me or the student's likings as well. We will also look at specific Artists and Painters, as well as specific Art History periods, and the kids will then be encouraged to play around and recreate their own version of the Artist or period. Needless to say that class do not necessarily mean free-time activity, the academic material is intentionally or not(unconsciously) always a present element of my instructive performance. Therefore, the game becomes a teaching/learning relation, whilst teaching and learning turn into a recreational joyful moment for all participants.

Naomi
Contemporary Painting Course (individual coaching or in a group setting)Welcome to a new approach to painting, where traditional techniques merge with contemporary artistic expression. I'm Naomi , an experienced visual artist, here to guide you on a journey to discover your own style and painting process.
In the world of painting, there's a misconception that technique is something old-fashioned, reserved for realistically replicating the world around us. I invite you to let go of this notion and join me in exploring how contemporary painters, including abstract artists, use technique to create unique and powerful works.
My lessons are designed for adults who want to look beyond traditional painting courses. We'll start with exercises that encourage free expression, almost in a childlike manner, without focusing on the end result. This process often reveals unexpected talents and leads to authentic artistic discoveries.
I strongly believe in recognizing and developing each student's unique qualities. With me, you'll learn not just the techniques applied by contemporary artists, but also how to use them to find and refine your own artistic voice. There's no such thing as good or bad art; the biggest barriers are often fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Together, we'll overcome these obstacles, with enjoyment in the creative process as our guide.
By the end of the course, you'll leave with a painting that reflects the quality of professional work, created with materials that aren't necessarily expensive, but are essential for serious work in today's art world. I'll provide the materials for the first lesson; afterwards, students will be encouraged to purchase their own.
Whether you're looking for individual guidance or prefer learning in a group setting, I offer both personal and group lessons. Group lessons have a fixed structure, while individual guidance is completely tailored to your desires and talents.
Are you ready to elevate your painting skills to a new level and develop your own style that resonates with the contemporary art world? Join my course and let your creativity flow.
