Art History : From Impressionism to Conceptual Art

From 29.38 € /h

Are you interested in Art History? Would you like to learn how to analyze artwork in a museum and speak confidently about it? If this interests you, I am offering tutoring on Modern International art, starting with Impressionism and moving through to conceptual art. Each class will cover a particular movement, I will assign the reading of interest and virtual exhibitions worth seeing.

Art History is a valuable subject as it teaches you excellent research and writing skills, how to speak confidently, and strong analyzing skills. I can give introduction courses to the subject, from how to analyze a work to how to write about art. I can give in-depth courses to university students.
I am also able to give courses in the Irish language.

My name is Rachel, I am an Irish Art Historian and freelance writer living in London. I studied an undergraduate degree in Art History and Modern Irish at University College Dublin, before completing a Master's degree in Art History. I am particularly interested in Modern and Contemporary International art (1850-2000).

Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

History is the vector that allows us to better understand our society, the world in which we live. It is essential for general culture. The level of the course will adapt to the level of the student, from primary to university. It is also possible to adapt it in relation to an exam or competition to be taken, or to a person wishing to complete their general knowledge on a particular subject.

Greek Art A-Z is a journey into the world of Modern Greek Art & culture from the independence of the Greek State to the present times.
We will explore together all the important artistic creations and set them in their historical and social context, in order to understand their coherence, establish the direct relationship between art and the cultural evolution of each period, and connect Art with life.
Art, whether it serves religion, beliefs, ideals, passions, ambitions, hopes, or the need for communication, is a unique aesthetic experience combining myth with history and science.
The course also includes guest lecturers and artists talks as well as visits to museums, galleries and ateliers.

*Trips and in situ lectures for students in Athens or virtual tours for the web students.

Presentations, texts, images, videos, virtual collections, documentaries, gallery & museum visits*

Language: Greek, English

Everyone learns differently. That's why I teach the way you want. You decide what you want to learn and how, including when your lesson takes place and how long it lasts.

I teach art history to anyone who wants to, regardless of age or level, online or at my home in Velp. You can learn about, among other things, the visual arts, music and literature from prehistory to the present. You can work towards an exam/test/training or just learn out of interest. Whether it concerns Michelangelo's David or the graffiti on the walls of Dubai, I'll be happy to tell you about it. Anything is possible.

I trained as a musician/writer and teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in education and have taught art history, music history, creative writing, and other subjects to the upper grades of a small secondary school for several years, where I am also a team member. I write teaching materials that are used at various secondary and higher education schools. I have extensive experience with innovative teaching methods and one-on-one teaching.

If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Besides art history, you can also come to me for lessons in music theory, creative writing and mathematics.

My name is Noah, and with me you’ll receive personal mentoring focused on developing artistic series, visual language, and coherent photographic projects. We will work with your personal vision, helping you find your own language and strengthen it.

I hold a diploma in Photography as well as in Ceramics Design. I have worked for almost eight years in the movie industry, both as a props maker and as an on-set photographer. Alongside this and my own personal projects, I also worked on fashion collaborations, including 3D scanning and multimedia techniques. So if you feel like mixing things up a bit and are drawn to fine art approaches, you are in the right place :)

I am happy to work with adults who already have their own practice, university students who want to strengthen their uniqueness or clarify their interests, as well as students applying to university. Let me know where and which department you are applying to, and we can build your portfolio together.

I also work with children who love creative activities, as well as with kids who may struggle to relax, express themselves, or connect with their emotions through creative processes.

Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions — I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

(If by any chance you are Hungarian, the class can be held in Hungarian as well!)

Ciao, I am Desi and I’ve been teaching Italian as a foreign language since 1988. I was born in Trento, in northern Italy, and over the years I’ve lived in Brazil, Sardegna, and now in a small village in Abruzzo. I have a degree in Italian Language and Culture for Foreigners and I’m a certified Italian teacher (DILS-PG, University of Perugia).
I’m a patient and understanding teacher, and I love introducing students to Italy beyond the usual stereotypes.
With my Italiano + Arte and Italiano + Storia programs, you can learn Italian while taking a guided journey through Italian art history and/or history. Using images, maps, and videos, we’ll explore Italy’s most fascinating events and cultural heritage, while you naturally improve your Italian.

This class combines practical art skills with inspiring art history and cultural storytelling.

Students will learn essential creative techniques including drawing in an imaginary way the human body and face, colour theory, and expressive mark making. Alongside technical training, we will explore influential artists and artistic movements, with a focus on themes such as legacy, identity, Balkan history, post-Soviet and dissident art traditions.

This course encourages students to develop both their technical confidence and their personal artistic voice. Participants will create their own artwork while learning how history, culture, and storytelling shape artistic expression.

Suitable for beginners and intermediate students who want to develop strong foundations while exploring deeper artistic meaning.
