Translated by GoogleSee original

From 19 € /h

With the arrival of new technologies, changes in program pricing and rates have become a nightmare, programs with unpayable rents and services that are updated every year, changing the interface and its operation... it is necessary to look for alternatives.

This course offers you an introduction to Krita, a free and OpenSource digital painting program that will allow you to create images at a professional level and learn about free alternatives on the market. We will carry out digital painting exercises for backgrounds, concepts and 2D video games in which we will be able to explore the Krita tools.

Extra information

You will need a Wacom or Cinitq type graphics tablet, with or without a screen, and drawing experience.

Most kids think coding is for "smart kids" or "future programmers."
It's not. Coding is how real people solve real problems.
In this class, we skip the theory. Your child creates real things.

What they'll do:
✓ Build real projects in Scratch: a working game, an interactive animation, a story they coded
✓ Program virtual robots: solve real-world challenges (navigate a maze, automate a task, build a system)
✓ Create in Minecraft Education: design worlds, automate constructions, solve logic problems
✓ Experiment with different languages: not just learn "the right way," but understand that there are many ways to think about a problem
✓ Collaborate and share: work with other kids, get feedback, improve their work
✓ Develop logical thinking: not just for coding, but for anything: solving math problems, science challenges, real-world situations

Why this is different:
We don't teach syntax. We teach how programmers think.
Most children's coding courses say "here's the code, copy it." We teach "what problem are we trying to solve? How could we break it into steps? What options do we have?"
When your child learns to think like a programmer, they can learn any language afterward.

What they take home:
A portfolio of 3–4 completed, working projects. The ability to say "I built this." And the deep understanding that code is a tool to make real things happen.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Flexible pace, no prior experience needed
For curious 8-12 year olds who want to build.

Associate illustrator in Plastic Arts, I suggest that you put my talents at your service. We can create a course together according to your project: a youth album? A comic book ? In watercolor, in collage, on computer? I can offer you exercises to help you progress or give you progressively guidance and feedback on your project already underway (workshop).

Do you want to learn the basics of drawing? Or are you already past that level? Do you want to draw on paper (with pencils) or on a screen? Do you want to learn the basics of 2D animation? All for a very reasonable price? We can do it!

Nice to meet you, I'm Daniel. I'm a (private) art teacher, I'm also a freelance artist and have been working as one for about 7 years. I'm looking for students in Utrecht, I have a teaching space available in my apartment (I can share my address when you contact me), but am also able to travel to your desired space within the city.
I can also teach via webcam, but I do recommend my in-person classes, seeing as they're more immersive and educational.

I unfortunately do not speak Dutch (yet), but am confident we can overcome any potential language barrier we come across.

I have the most experience in teaching teenagers and preteens, so I think we would definitely be a good match if you're a parent or guardian looking for a teacher for your child.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Being able to use Photoshop opened a whole new world up for me and it can for you too. Ranging from physical design, such as posters, flyers or book covers to digitial design used for social media posts or video thumbnails, Photoshop is an amazing skill to have under your belt.

Having a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design as well as industry experience, I would love to show people secret methods and tools which have allowed me to create the work that I do. If there are any design inspirations you have that you'd like to try and replicate or you just want to create basic designs, I can definitely help.

The Adobe Suite may seem like a whole world when we're still learning about it, but nothing could be further from the truth!
Learning with me, we will go step by step through everything you need to know, the most commonly used tools, etc.
Putting it into practice is the most important thing!

This colored pencil workshop guides students from concept to finished drawing. We explore ideation and visual research, develop strong compositions through sketch mapping, and apply color theory to create depth and harmony with layered pencil techniques. Students practice rendering realistic objects, plants, animals, and human figures with attention to light, texture, and fine detail.
