Over
I am very passionate about the visual arts and am so excited to share what I know with other artists! I can be flexible with lessons depending on what students would like to focus on, and am open to their requests. I love art styles like those seen in Ghibli movies and Arcane (television series).
Opleiding
I am a rising sophomore at UCSD, majoring in the Visual Arts and planning on adding a second major in Psycholgy. I currently have a 4.0 GPA. I've taken art classes in my youth, as well.
Leservaring
I've been a camp counselor multiple times, a teaching assistant to my high school art teacher during a summer art course, and I have previous experience teaching art -- both virtually with my own prepared lessons, and as the leader of my high school art club.

Naomi
In this unique lesson series, led by Naomi Mitsuko Makkelie, you will explore the powerful connection between art and psychology. With Naomi's academic background in both visual arts and psychology, she offers an in-depth perspective on how painting can serve as a therapeutic medium. This course is designed for individuals of all ages and skill levels who are interested in using painting and drawing as a means of personal development and healing.

These classes focus on intuitive painting, a technique that encourages participants to explore their subconscious feelings, memories, and even unresolved traumas. Through this expressive art form, participants are given the opportunity to explore and express their inner world in a non-verbal manner, opening a unique path to healing and self-discovery.

What You Can Expect

Guidance from an expert in both Art and Psychology: Naomi guides participants through the process of intuitive painting, offering techniques that help bring the subconscious to the surface.
A Supportive Environment: Each participant is encouraged to work at their own pace and explore their personal experiences.
Personal Development: The focus is on the process, not the end product. Participants learn how to use art as a form of self-care and self-expression.
Therapeutic Techniques: In addition to painting techniques, exercises will be introduced that focus on mindfulness and strengthening the mind-body connection.


Location: Treehouse NDSM, Amsterdam, or location chosen by the student.
For Who?: Suitable for adults, children and teenagers.
Duration: Best results are determined when the course involves multiple sessions (exact number and dates to be determined), but a single session is also possible.
Materials: All necessary materials are provided. Participants are encouraged to bring personal items that can serve as inspiration.

By approaching art as a means of self-exploration and healing, Naomi offers a unique opportunity to grow both as an artist and an individual. These classes are more than an art course; it is a journey into the heart of your own creative and emotional landscape.

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.)

⚙️ Step 1: Understand What AI Actually Is
AI isn’t magic — it’s just pattern recognition on steroids. It learns from data, spots trends faster than humans, and automates decisions.
There are three main flavors you’ll be dealing with:
Machine Learning (ML) – Think “training” an AI to make predictions. (Used in trading bots, recommendations, etc.)
Generative AI – Like ChatGPT or Midjourney; it creates text, code, or images.
Automation AI – Uses rules + ML to perform actions automatically (Zapier, n8n, AutoGPT, etc.).
💸 Step 2: Using AI in Trading
AI trading isn’t new — hedge funds have been doing it for decades. But now you can do it too.
Here’s the stack you’d look at:
Data Source – Pull data from APIs (like Binance, Alpha Vantage, or Polygon.io).
Model – Use AI to find signals. Common tools:
Python + TensorFlow/PyTorch → train models that predict price movement.
GPTs → analyze news sentiment.
Execution – Automate trades using APIs (like Binance or Alpaca).
Testing – Backtest with historical data before going live.
If you want plug-and-play options, try:
Koyfin, TrendSpider, or Trade-Ideas for AI-driven analysis.
Composer or Stoic.ai if you want “autopilot” portfolios.
(Pro tip: the real edge isn’t in fancy models — it’s in feeding your AI clean, unique data.)
📱 Step 3: Using AI to Build Apps
This is where things get fun. You don’t even need to code hardcore anymore.
No-code builders: Glide, Bubble, or Adalo → use AI APIs like OpenAI, HuggingFace, or Replicate to add brains.
AI dev tools: Replit Ghostwriter, GitHub Copilot, or ChatGPT’s code interpreter to write real code fast.
Frameworks (if coding):
Python/Flask or FastAPI for backend.
React or Next.js for frontend.
Firebase or Supabase for hosting & data.
Hook it all together with AI APIs (like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Stability AI).
🚀 Step 4: Learn by Doing (Don’t Just Watch YouTube)
The fastest way to master AI is to build real stuff:
Create a sentiment analyzer that trades crypto based on tweets.
Build an AI app that generates marketing copy for clients.
Automate your own work — make an AI that handles your emails or schedules.
📚 Step 5: Resources That’ll Level You Up
Learn ML basics: fast.ai or Google’s ML Crash Course.
Build AI apps: freeCodeCamp or YouTube’s “Code with Tomi” / “Nicholas Renotte.”
Trading AI: Check out “Algorithmic Trading with Python” by QuantInsti.
No-code AI apps: Buildspace or FlowiseAI.

This lesson focuses on creating real-time visuals, animation, and audiovisual composition using Ableton Live together with the visual engine Videosync. It is suitable for beginners and early-intermediate users who want to explore visuals in a musical and performance-oriented context.

We look at how visuals can be created, structured, and performed in relation to sound. Starting from basic setups and visual ideas, we move toward building animated and real-time visual systems that can be used for performances, installations, or audiovisual works. The emphasis is on understanding visuals as time-based systems, rather than relying on templates or ready-made effects.

Depending on your interests, lessons can include:

■ working with real-time visuals and video clips
■ creating and controlling animated visuals
■ structuring visuals in relation to rhythm, timing, and musical form
■ preparing visual sessions and VJ sets for concerts
■ building audiovisual compositions and performance setups
■ creating music videos and visual content for promoting music online
■ developing visuals for art and installation projects

For more experienced users, we can also explore experimental and creative approaches, including system-based animation, generative structures, unconventional audiovisual workflows and developing custom shaders.

Lessons are adapted to your level and goals. No prior experience with visual tools in Ableton Live is required, and the focus is on clear concepts that can be applied across different visual approaches.

Private lessons are available in my studio in Nijmegen, at your place, or online if preferred.
