I am really enjoying the painting course with Dor. The environment is really friendly and even for beginners (like me) there is enough motivation :)
Very interesting lesson.
The best place to be after a stressful day at work. Dor is just amazing and very dedicated!
A weekly painting-from-life class on Tuesdays, 18:00 - 21:00 in Zurich If you wish to reconnect with yourself, to discover and develop your intuition, attention, and creative thinking - the course is suitable for you, regardless of your painting skills!. The sessions include: • a 3-hour weekly session • a monthly model session (the last session on every month). • artists guests with special workshops • homemade drinks and snacks The course is suitable for experienced painters as well as people with zero experience in drawing or painting. Every month we have a different main topic we focus on (portraits, landscape, a new technique, etc.). In addition, Dor always encourages her students to come up with their own project, and she guides them through it. Various subjects we will work on during the sessions: - Connecting and shifting to our right hemisphere while painting. - Errors - congratulate them - Memory skills - Imagination development - Connecting to yourself - Developing your own unique style, and more... The number of participants is limited, so be sure to book your place with us in advance! Looking forward to welcoming you soon, Dor

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.

Creative Exploration Workshop: Discover Your Potential. Online.
A nine-hour online workshop to explore your creativity and experiment with artistic techniques This workshop, suitable for all audiences, is designed to experiment with and explore artistic techniques. The results will surprise you. Any technique is an excuse to play, to break the rules, and to experiment. We should feel free to try without worrying about the final outcome. As an advocate of the creative process, I believe that the goal is not the result itself but rather an element we sometimes discover midway. Unleash your unconscious and flow throughout the process, which, on this occasion, is more important than the final result. We will enjoy the journey because it is the only thing that truly matters. In this workshop, we will express ourselves freely, release blockages, overcome fear to enhance our creative potential. We will also learn to break and discard the work we've done. And, of course, to have fun.

ART, CRAFTS, AND CREATIVITY LESSONS FOR CHILDREN (ANY LEVEL)
Art classes provide a different form of knowledge and expression, engaging children’s senses, and challenging their creativity. I believe art should not only be practiced by talented kids, as it can open up new interests, as well as help them develop a set of tools to express themselves better. The classes are shaped towards discovering the multifaceted aspects of art through experimenting with different crafts, mediums, and techniques beyond painting and drawing, as well as familiarizing the participant with various artists and art currents. The lessons are adapted according to the age, as well as interests and inclinations of the student. Considering my background in art and architecture, if there is interest in that, it is possible to dive into related topics, architectural drawing, and model-making exercises (suitable for almost any age).
