Drawing and painting as creative self exploration

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Being creative with self-expression in the form of drawing and painting has been a way of people for thousands of years to shape their inner world, to leave something behind, and to exchange ideas with others. For me it is a form of finding peace, and so everyone will have their own motivation.

The idea of the lesson is to look together at different techniques (such as drawing perspective or learning to mix colors), to find new techniques on our own, and to apply these techniques to create drawings that we can be proud of. This is not to say that every painting will be beautiful, but that there is a story of personal experiences behind it that we can respect and learn from.

More specifically, the lessons may focus on drawings and paintings made with pencils, colored pencils, markers and watercolors. We can do separate exercises with this, make a big mess of everything together, and everything in between. The techniques I offer are mainly focused on perspective drawing, mixing and choosing colors, drawing shadows and different methods of dealing with watercolors. With these techniques in hand, it will be easier and more fun to pick up your pencil and fill a white sheet with something magical, namely yourself!

Furthermore, I like to put a great emphasis on personal creativity and self exploration! Every work of art has a certain beauty, with which age and education have nothing to do. By expressing ourselves on paper we get to know ourselves and the world in which we live better and an opportunity for growth is created.

Stay creative, keep exploring, and hopefully see you soon :)

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hey,

My name is Myrddin :)
I am a young man with many interests and my goal is to help myself and others live a healthier, happier and more valuable life. I do this myself by immersing myself in science, spirituality, health, art, music and mobility, and share this with others with great pleasure and passion!
I already have a lot of experience with teaching, mainly with parkour lessons at Cirkus in Beweging. This is something I've been doing for 7 years, and I've taught every age between 5 and 60+ in the meantime. I also helped give kung fu classes to children and adults at the KULeuven, and plan to do more. And related to science, I completed my Bachelor in Physics at the KULeuven last year, and I would like to share this knowledge.

I am very flexible in teaching and prefer to look at a student's interests and strengths to build on. And I also have a lot of patience and respect for the things that are more difficult. I know very well from experience that everyone learns differently and can already do other things, and I try to transform this into the development of an individual strength.

More specifically, I offer teaching moments in mathematics and physics, kung fu, parkour, drawing and painting, and spiritual deepening, always aiming to learn and discover together, and not to blindly pass on knowledge and skills. I believe a personal approach is an important step in the development of both children and adults, and will lead to a better understanding of who we are and who we want to become.

I still have a lot to learn myself, and I know that I already have a lot to offer.

Greetings and have a nice day!

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I completed my secondary education at the Sint-Albertus college in haasrode with the direction of mathematics sciences (8 hours wiksunde). After that I lived in China for a year and got to know the language and culture there better, after which I started the Bachelor in Physics at the KULeuven. I completed this between September 2017 and September 2021 with a minor in astronomy and IT, with subjects such as quantum mechanics, particle physics, electrodynamics and general relativity.

Experience / Qualifications

I have 7 years of experience as a parkour teacher, 2 years as a kung fu teacher and 23 years of spiritual growth and philosophical questioning.

It was fun learning from Myrddin. Thank you so much.
Myrddin was patient, creative, and inspiring to our crew of little ninjas. We would definitely like to train again with him in the future.
Myrdinn is a pleasant and friendly teacher. The appointment went according to plan, on time. My daughter learned a lot about different drawing techniques. But above all she had a very enjoyable lesson.

It was great fun. He was open to organizing the lessons according to my wishes. A nice mix of sport and fun!

Whether you are young or old, mobility and body control can help us in every aspect of our lives. It gives us strength, flexibility and self-confidence. It keeps us healthy and ensures that we have more energy during the day. The combination of parkour and kung fu gives a very broad picture of how we can use our bodies, training almost every muscle we have! For me, parkour and kung fu are two sports that I really enjoy! In my view, parkour is mainly about reading an environment and moving around in it both creatively and efficiently. It is a relatively new sport that is getting more and more attention these days. In contrast, the ancient traditions and wisdom of the Chinese martial art, kung fu. Here it is more about the relationships we have with others, whether they are friendly and respectful, or life-threatening. With kung fu we learn to control ourselves and develop respect and love for everyone. The combination of the two sports gives a very special picture of how we can playfully and respectfully deal with our environment, allowing us to relax and powerfully connect ourselves with our body and mind. More specifically, there are many different techniques and exercises that we can practice on. This ranges from basic movements such as precision to backflips, and from the 8 basic poses to long and complicated kung fu forms. The idea is not to drill really hard on this until the fun has been knocked out, on the contrary!! The plan is to be creative and look for new ideas together, to apply learned techniques in challenging situations, and to make our bodies and minds stronger! Stay strong, stay flexible, and hopefully see you soon :)
The language of the wiksunde is one that is widely used in today's world to solve problems. It can help us find patterns in nature and make predictions that help us improve our world. In addition, it is also a form of self-development and learning to understand abstract concepts. By dealing with mathematics in a creative and playful way, we can better place ourselves in a society in which technological progress is central, we can better understand what we are or have been taught at school, and we can find pleasure and challenge in problem-solving thinking. I offer a range of knowledge about mathematics and physics, from basic principles such as multiplication to the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity, with the main aim of increasing curiosity in the world. And if, for example, I can help someone with this to get through their school year, or develop a broader understanding of our place in the universe, I do it with pleasure and passion. The idea is that students themselves indicate what they want to learn more about and that we work on this together. And if there's a general interest in math and physics, then I'll be able to find plenty of interesting things until an interesting topic is found that we can delve into. Keep learning, stay curious, and hopefully see you soon :)

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen. I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist. I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns. In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on. You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns. Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Drawing and Painting Lessons: Developing Your Unique Visual Language
Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork. From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

Idris
Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic language
I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London. Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you! Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs. The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language. (Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.) Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

Basic Figure Drawing Lesson: The Foundation of Skill Required For Drawing
Figure drawing isn't easy; it requires precision and practice. You must learn the basics of figure drawing to grow your skills. That is why having a strong understanding and practice of your basics is incredibly difficult and important. The basics include the correct method of drawing lines and circles, tips on understanding the anatomically correct proportions of the human body, and the practice of drawing what you see. This is the most challenging aspect of figure drawing, and it requires practice to simply put what you see on paper. It might seem tedious and somewhat useless, but from my experience, it was the foundation I wish someone had taught me. These skills aren't only used for figure drawing, but also for your other drawing endeavors. The class session will entail a step-by-step program based on your performance and progress when accomplishing each skill. I will guide you through a hands-on process to master each lesson. This is meant to curate an environment where you feel accomplished and for you to make mistakes and learn from them.

Advanced Drawing - A Look Into Line, Form, and Structure
This course is an in-depth look into drawing. It is intended for students with some drawing experience as a way for them to build upon existing skills, but students of all levels are welcome. We will go over line, form, and structure, beginning with contour line drawings and eventually building up to the student creating their own pieces. We will discuss figurative and non-representational works, as well as how we can utilize different methods of drawing to convey different feelings and emotions.

Tusa
Classical drawing and painting techniques for beginners and advanced
I teach (one-on-one) in my studio and online(internationally)covering painting and drawing techniques for beginners, advanced students, and aspiring art school applicants. I have a series of significant artistic achievements, having been awarded in the most prestigious international figurative art competitions—competitions that value study, hard work, and knowledge. I have studied art throughout my life and I always strive to reach a high level of performance, with the goal of passing on everything I have learned at the highest standard. Throughout my career, I have helped many individuals push their limits and improve their artistic techniques—some doing it as a hobby, others achieving exceptional results in the entrance exams for art and architecture universities. These courses are personalized for any level and age, following a systematic process. Topics include: portraiture, the human figure, anatomy, still life, landscapes, the science of light and shadow, drawing/painting techniques, color theory, perspective, design, etc. I am also open to collaborations for workshops in any city—art classes on various themes such as classical and realistic, impressionist, or even modern approaches, all based on principles learned from Old Masters’ techniques. These are systems and procedures taught only in Florence, where I also studied for a period. These techniques are not commonly known or practiced in schools in Romania. Since a portfolio is important in showcasing the level of an art teacher, you can view examples (drawings, paintings) from my personal portfolio and a description of my career on my website, tusaiart. Another important point is that I offer strictly one-on-one teaching sessions—not group lessons with 5–10 students per session. Over 10 years of teaching experience Extensive experience in the field of art: I started working with pencil and brush in kindergarten, and for nearly 30 years I have continued to practice this passion intensively, always aiming to become one of the best in the field.

Visual Arts: digital arts, oil and acrylic painting, and drawing
Every class is suited towards your skill level and needs. If you're interested in digital art, you can learn how to create digital arts using Krita, a free digital arts software that I highly recommend for it's tools and features similar to that of Photoshop's. If you already experimented on your own software, I will help you with rendering, anatomy, and composition. If you're interested in painting, I can provide materials if needed. I am experienced with both oil painting and acrylic painting. I can help you create both Fine Arts, or illustration. About me: Hello, my name is Jacey and I'm currently attending NYU to get my certification to teach visual arts K-12. The reason I want to become an art teacher is to help students develop their own style. Everybody has their own habits and tendencies when making art, and I want to help you thrive using your own style– or, if you want to become the master of realism and copying, I can help with that too. Every artists has their own goals! I also believe in creating art as a way of a stress-reliever. If you'd like to do your own thing while having someone to listen to, I can create art by your side and talk about you!

Online drawing course for children aged 5 to 12 years
Online course via Zoom or Google Come on, let me tell you what are the benefits of drawing for children at this young age? Drawing is beneficial for children's mental health. It is an ideal activity for developing their motor and mental skills and enhancing their exploratory, psychological and emotional growth. - It increases children's ability to interact naturally without caring about other people's opinions about the drawings they draw. -It eliminates the constant feeling of shyness and increases self-confidence. - Enhances the mind's ability to communicate with others without using words.
